I need to watch the Queen's Speech for work reasons. Coverage starts with all kind of daft rituals. Huw (Welshy Boyo) Edwardes is wetting himself with excitement over silk cushions and suchlike. noooo:
-
Friend of ours is the producer for the programme. He is bored to tears over it all.
-
They have announced the content in advance. My job is to find the hidden surprises. There will be a few!

I see you are giving it your full attention. ::)

Cos the Queen hasn't arrived yet!! Coverage starts hours in advance

No point in listening/watching ~ you'll need to read the printed version ( 'prolly obtainable from your local MP). Gordo has a habit of saying one thing and then slipping the little extras out in the written version.

Quite right, but the Queen's Speech may add things not previously trailed.

Well I watched and listened and as my late mother would have said "Just like our front room" (ie Not a lot in it) or at least not a lot that we didn't already know about ~ liked the little kicker at the end when she said "and other measures will be laid before you". Typical Gordo ...... "There is more but I just haven't thought of it yet"

It is an unashamed way of disguising the unemployment figures. They don't want under 18's to be seen as unemployed.
It has been a scandal that kids have no recourse to any form of benefits from the time they leave school until they are 18.
Until then, they have had to rely totally on their parents (and crime) for any income and the parents cannot claim any of it back or get any relief on the expense.
Ironic really, when you think we'll all be working 'til we're 70 to pay for it.
