Will you be swearing allegiance to the king?

[WhyLikeThis]

People watching the Coronation will be invited to join a "chorus of millions" to swear allegiance to the King and his heirs, organisers say.

Coronation: Public asked to swear allegiance to King Charles

The pledge is among several changes to the service, which will incorporate female clergy and other faiths.

No

 

[spitfire]

Yes.

 

[spitfire]

I mean no.

 

[JimW]

I'll have to see if this compact I made with the Devil has a release clause first.

 

[NoXion]

Oh hell to the fuck no. These knees aren't for bending. Fuck that archaic nonsense sideways with a rusty rake.

What is this King offering in return for allegiance?

What is this King offering in return for allegiance?

Confirm you in your lands and castle and not use your troops without just cause, you'd hope. Otherwise we should get the Normans back.

Certainty.

And this.

 

[ElizabethofYork]

Let me think about that for a nano second.


No.

 

[surreybrowncap]

Of course.....

 

[kalidarkone]

Nope

 

[Chilli.s]

No. Way.

 

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Swear at the king? Hell yes!

 

[brogdale]

Toughie, this.

 

[two sheds]

The public will be given an active role in the ceremony for the first time, with people around the world set to be asked to cry out and swear allegiance to the King.

I might cry out though.

 

[mentalchik]

Fuck no

 

[Doppelgänger]

This just reinforces the view that some Brits are just sycophants when it comes to their "betters".

What an archaic and quite frankly disgusting expectation that is being thrust upon the public.

The sooner the monarchy is disbanded the better as there is no place for it in its current form in modern society.

 

[skyscraper101]

Who’s the king?

 

[ruffneck23]

No. Fucking. Way.

 

[AnnaKarpik]

No. Will it be monitored?

Heir miles

 

[eatmorecheese]

As an alternative please join me in pledging allegiance to Marx

 

[moomoo]

No.

 

[SpookyFrank]

Well this is a fantastic idea. Really captured the public mood of not giving a shit, besides wishing that the extra bank holiday was in November instead of right after one we already get anyway.

 

[weepiper]

Will I fuck.

Even the Daily Mail commenters aren't up for this one:

I shall be mooning at the telly.

Is this like Betteridge's Law of headlines?
