Will you be swearing allegiance to the king?

[MickiQ]

Whilst we are still sadly a long way from abolition I think it’s dawning on them that their popularity is sinking like the Titanic and this is a slightly bizarre attempt to make us feel 'involved'
According to most of the TV I watch swearing an oath to the King usually involves throwing your sword at this feet.
I don't have a sword and I'm not buying one just for this though I wonder if a kitchen knife might suffice.

I assumed the pledge I made in the scouts just carried over tbh

I won't be watching anyway, but no.
I did however swear 'to do my duty to God and the Queen' when I was in the Brownies many years ago

My elder daughter joined the brownies just to annoy me. I’d pick her up and ask what they’d done that evening, “oh, just swore oaths to the queen and prayed”, she’d say, mischief in her eyes, while I exploded inside. The little bugger.

I did boys brigade and I remember no pledge. Google says there is a motto and pledge but its about advancing the kingdom of god rather than earthly thrones so probably doesn't count

Get up against the wall royalist lickspittle!

I remember the swearing an oath to god and queen when I joined the cubs. I think I dodged it by only mouthing the words and not saying that shit aloud though

Anyway, it was all negated when they threw me out for punching a sixer for ordering me about.

And what are you doing today to honour your pledge?

Im no expert on advancing the kingdom of god, but a fat spliff and a wank would probably suffice

I don't remember we had any plastic toadstool!

Will I fuck.

You were robbed.

I'm going to be a right subversive MF by changing my profile picture to Kenny Dalglish

 

[T & P]

Isn’t there any campaign on to make a subversive song number 1 for next week?

 

[PR1Berske]

I will not partake, no.

Who cares, the charts are about as relevant as the monarchy.

 

[redcogs]

'Though cowards flinch, and traitors sneer, there'll be no oath of allegiance to the old jug ear' No no no.

 

[pogofish]

No chance!

That one died with Brenda.

 

[StoneRoad]

Not be watching as I'm probably going to be working.
But even if I was, I doubt I would partake, although I might try and improve my cuss word repertoire [especially ref camilla].

Hopefully, the following funeral will not be too far away ...

I'm not actually a full republican, as I think a constitutional monarchy can have it's uses, just don't like the current occupier.

 

[mentalchik]

Given that it´s the first one for 70 years, I think it´s a bit tight to have it on a Saturday. Or do you get a public holiday on the Friday or the Monday?

Monday is a Bank Holiday but mostly everything is open

 

[cesare]

That one died with Brenda.

Some of these oaths cover all bases by using and relying on "and heirs and successors" so they don't have to do a huge re-oathing round and can just use the new monarch's oath for newly appointed people.

Not sure about the Scout and Guide movements and CBA to look it up.

 

[weltweit]

I don't have any idea why I might consider pledging my allegience to Charlie.
I do approve of the Princes Trust but that is not enough for a pledge.

Marx allegiance to the Queen....

 

[neonwilderness]

 

[geminisnake]

what the actual fuck? They're fucking morons, people around the world will be asked to cry out? Why? he's going to be the King of fecking England, I don;t want him or any of his offspring. I'm really glad I don't even have a TV anymore. I'm just gobsmacked at the small amount of utter BS I am seeing online
For reasons of avoidance is it actually Saturday or Monday? That's how little attention I've been paying

Fucking allegiance, dickhead!...oh wait...

 

[HoratioCuthbert]

I'll be swearing fucking something anyway.

 

[teqniq]

What is this King offering in return for allegiance?

A huge bill:

They can fuck the fuck off with the allegiance nonsense as well.

 

[A380]

Recite a pledge of allegiance ? What do they think we are? Americans?

Did we burn down the White House in vain?
