Villagers have expressed their outrage after a pub unveiled its new sign, portraying the Queen in a rather irreverent light.

The Spitting Image-style cartoon outside the newly revamped Queen's Arms Hotel in Acomb, Northumberland, shows Her Royal Highness as a burly figure with a tattoo bearing the name 'Phil' on her huge forearms.

It is certainly no worse than calling the Queen the Queen. After all, "burly figure with a tattoo" is nowhere near as bad as "inbred symbol of tyranny" or "parasite whose assets should be returned to their rightful owners". She should be grateful that the depiction of her is a falsehood rather than the infinitely more disgusting truth.
