Here's the presumptive article

"But there will be no extemporising with the Queen. The newsreaders will wear black suits and black ties. Category one was made for her. Programmes will stop. Networks will merge. BBC 1, 2 and 4 will be interrupted and revert silently to their respective idents – an exercise class in a village hall, a swan waiting on a pond – before coming together for the news. Listeners to Radio 4 and Radio 5 live will hear a specific formulation of words, “This is the BBC from London,” which, intentionally or not, will summon a spirit of national emergency."

what is so important but apparently not urgent that people are summoned at 3am though? That's the part of this story that's not like the others.

 

[Demosthenes]

The Germans have annexed the Sudetenland.

So it's not Lizzy over-ruling Hardwick and dropping Steve Morris?

I may have watched too much Game of Thrones but could it be possible that the queen sent assassins in the night to take out Charles, has abdicated due to treasonous behaviour and is anointing William the King?

What a letdown just Bubble stepping down from all official duties

 

[akkaps]

So Ch7 just announced that the official announcement is that Prince Phillip is retiring from all official duties.

Anyone care to intercept what the heck that means for him.

Queen just trolled the world.

He's had a "medical episode" during the night I'm guessing. Be interesting to see if he's seen in public again.

I hope when one of my senior bosses retires i get a call at 3am about it.

Well if we don't see or hear him in the next couple of days might be worth opening a new thread on the conspiracies board.

[GWBogan]

So his career is dead...
