School-leavers are to be encouraged to swear an oath of allegiance to
Queen and country under new proposals being unveiled on British
citizenship

Does that mean school leavers are being asked to swear a oath of
allegiance to somebody who didnt actually earn the right to worshipped
or anything - but was born into the job ? .

Its a disgusting idea.

Personally, for many reasons, I'm very pro the institution of the Royal
family. My reasoned choice, not necessarily anyone else's.

However, forcing this on kids is borderline sick. It smacks of the vile US
style patriotism, which is one of the most insidious forms of people control
known to man. Second only to religion.

Its simple: once you swear allegiance to anything you virtually give up your
right to question it. That is where freedom and any notion of democracy
ends.

If this were to happen while any of my kids were at school I would forbid
them from taking part.
