Queen comes within 20 feet of certain death

“This paper can exclusively reveal, that the Queen has been mere feet from almost certain death on more than one occasion in 2011.  On one occasion she was traveling with Prince Philip down a single carriageway A Road at 60mph.  Another vehicle, also traveling at 60, went past in the other direction.  With a closing speed of 120mph, an error of a few feet on the part of either driver would have spelt a grisly end for all concerned.”

This is the kind of hogwash which is pumped at us night and day and day and night by the media in Britain.  Take something perfectly ordinary, imagine the worst possible consequence of the situation, and pump out a doom mongering headline.  If possible try and link it to cancer too.  No wonder so many people have lines of stress and worry etched into their faces.

It’s not just the newspapers either.  The BBC is guilty too – if not more so.  To paraphrase a recent article, “After a period of low rain, if it continues to not rain, we will have a drought.”  No shit.  But it gives them the chance to write about DROUGHT WARNING.  Sound the alarm!!!

So. Stop reading that tripe.  Have a drink.  Be glad you live in Britain.  It really is a rather lovely place.  It’s got a Queen and everything.
