- The ‘Alternative’ Queen’s Speech - A Speech that Her Majesty might actually enjoy making for a chang
The Queen’s Speech will tomorrow set the tone for the forthcoming parliamentary session. However in keeping with the best New Labour traditions the content of the speech will hold few surprises. Judging from bills already in the pipeline such as ID cards, a new serious crime squad and a crackdown on anti-social behaviour we are to be first of all frightened. We will then be dictated to on how to run our lives by the introduction of new social legislation and the birth of the “Commission for Equality and Human Rights.” After we have been suitably chastened we will then be subjected to a raft of “holier than thou” bills such as corporate manslaughter which ignores the fact that it is the public sector which kills the most people (e.g., NHS, armed forces, sub-standard roads etc).
