    The majority cannot therefore be the elite.

    Would you not just post it at 9, so people can actually watch and comment on the speech as it unfolds?

    Or post it an 8.30 so we can decide it's not worth watching and head to the pub in good time.
    A poster of some consequence...

    The embargo is for 8.30pm, not 9pm. It'll be posted as soon as its allowable.

    If you want to watch it on television, by all means go ahead.

    My point is that it can be good to watch the speech while posting here as it unfolds. If you release the whole thing at 8.30, someone will lash through it and post the key bits before they're said.

    With emphasis on every fourth word, regardless of whatever that word might be. When he gets it out of sync it's like watching a badly dubbed film.
