The Queen’s Christmas Broadcast for 2007 did not disappoint. It was nicely constructed around the theme of continuity within the context of change, as exemplified by neatly integrating excerpts from the Queen’s first televised Christmas Broadcast in 1957. Given I was blogging about just the same theme the other day, does this mean I think like royalty? (or at least like a royal adviser?) ;) The Queen’s speech also gave a balanced message that linked the importance of family and the values exemplified by Christ, and taught by all religions, with the need to take personal responsibility for countering the ills of social exclusion. I am glad the Queen’s speech is on YouTube, where people can see and hear it whenever they like. It seems to me that the Queen’s message is not just for Christmas, but for the whole year round. Perhaps the Queen should consider broadcasting more often, or better still, starting her own video blog…
