She couldve been fired for not picking up on the fact that it wasnt the queen/transferring the call.

The problem is that it wasnt obvious to her that these people werent who they said they were. She had only been in england for 10 years or so and how often does the queen give a public speech?Not often enough for everyone to know what she would sound like. The DJs who rang the hospital used a lot of assumptions that they never should have done.

The fact is that this lady knew it had happened and had been in turmoil over whether the radio show would broadcast it and I am sure that the hospital also thought that it would not be allowed on air.

I can imagine that should wouldve been scared of the backlash from the UK as a whole (and the world.) Its not surprising given the way the UK seems to react to a lot of bad news. Its not possible to know what was going through her head but she couldve been worried about being arrested or deported....or just living with the shame forever.

I dont believe the DJs should be fully blamed although partial responsibility is important. But I do think that both of them need to step back and think about how theyre going to conduct themselves in future.

	There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you. But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself. I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
