Fox News' website, foxnews.com published a story on it's website, reporting on the news that Gordon Brown had resigned as Prime Minister, and David Cameron of the Conservatives appointed in his place following last week's general election. Unfortunately for foxnews.com, they seem to have got things just a little bit wrong, writing instead;
"Queen Elizabeth accepted the invitation of Conservative Party leader David Cameron to become Britain's new prime minister Tuesday night after Gordon Brown resigned following his failure to form a coalition government with another liberal party after national elections last week".
Now, I don't recall David Cameron inviting the Queen to do anything... I'm pretty sure, unless I've been dreaming for the last 24 hours, that the Queen invited Cameron!
Oh well, you've got to love news reporting without fully understanding the situation. Bit like me reporting on fly fishing I suppose!
