A DJ may have many privileges of speech, but one of the things they can’t do is insult the Queen of England. One UK disc jokey made just that mistake after calling her “boring!”

The radio host, Tom Binns, interrupted Queen Elizabeth’s traditional Christmas Day speech, bringing many complaints from listeners as he insulted the Queen’s broadcast and replaced it with a Wham song. Binns insisted most of the feedback he got was positive, explaining the speech was being broadcast by accident, so he was right to cut it off, and was only doing his job as a comedian when he made some jokes along with the change. Many seem to feel otherwise though, still believing the royal family should be treated with more respect.

Maybe the DJ should have played ‘God Save The Queen’ (video above) instead of making his inappropriate comment.
