Since 1993 Channel 4 has been offering viewers an alternative to the Queen’s Christmas message. With the likes of Ali G, Jamie Oliver and even Marge Simpson delivering a speech it’s generally been a rather tongue-in-cheek event.
This year however Channel 4 decided to court controversy with their decision to approach Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (who was so beautifully satirised by SNL here) to deliver the address.

thanks for bringing this one here :3 I knew you would share it with us (and I still remember marge simpson’s christmas message)
His speech doesn’t exactly coincide with our practice of separate church and state. I still would support a coup or similar CIA action… I think a war with Iran wouldn’t be a good tactic though.
Quite interesting. Thanks for posting.
Can you find the Ali G message?
Extremely interesting. He’s got a point regarding…”If Jesus were here today”. That could be the beginning of a cross-cultural dialogue aiming to the…why not!…world peace. So, let’s open our minds and talk. There’s much more connecting us than dividing us, after all.
