BBC headline news is carrying the story that school leavers should be encouraged to take an oath of allegiance to the Queen

The same bulletin on Radio 4 has another item, expressing concern over the number of pupils leaving school early, probably for arranged marriages.

What a rich irony, ha ha ha, it's 50 years too late mates, you can't bring back Britain, it's too far submerged under 'multi-cultural' political correctness.

I could swear a few oaths the that old bag and her clan and none of them would be promising anything other than total disloyalty.
The thought of swearing alligence to that prat Charlie and the moose he's married to just makes me feel sick.
I might swear an oath to my country but I'm not sure I've got one anymore.

So if you swear an oath of allegiance to your country and then emigrate - could you be sued for breach of promise?

It was a laugh this lunch time, Sky news were asking people what they thought about Britishness. Where did they conduct this question? Edinburgh no less, once again the English, Welsh or Northern Irish never got asked.

I wonder if there is a hidden agenda here ?

For example, what if a few young zealots decide they cannot take the oath, can they then be marked for special surveillance ? Boy I hope so !!
