TV spoof targets royal funeral
A TV crew from the Channel 4 show Banzai were stopped by police as they tried to set up a speed camera in front of the Queen Mother's cortege.

A team from the programme planned to ask viewers on the wacky gambling show to bet on how fast the hearse was moving as it drove from Westminster Abbey to Windsor.

But police intervened when officers spotted the crew on the Cromwell Road in west London, minutes before the cortege was due to pass by.

Nice one, should count themselves lucky not to be hauled off to the Tower tho'!
Watched BBC news the other day as some talking head told of how this event would show just what the 'old guard' were capable of - didn't mention that it's us that foot the bill tho' did they.
you can probably tell that I'm not the bigest fan of this lot of inbred parasites, fair play to the old girl tho' - she was probably the only decent one out of the lot.

Apparently one of the younger duffers introduced QM to "Ali G" and she apparently got up from a meal hosted by her daughter once with a "what a good meal - RESPECT" impersonation.....

........what a wonderful image!

C'mon, whether you like them or not (and I don't) show a little respect for the dead. How would you enjoy going to your mums funeral to find some scumbag was betting on it ???
