Public asked to swear allegiance to King out loud during ceremony

[Svensson]

Gents, this is a ceremony. there is no legal consequence to the oath. This is IMO no different the old "Our father in heaven, Hallowed be your name" which, as an atheist, I have recited many times in church with the family without feeling violated or outraged.

Cheers.

Sounds as if the UK is on the verge of becoming as *disunited* as the USA.

So sad that people won't trust their government, nor a king trust his subjects.

“During the ceremony, the Archbishop will ask “all persons of goodwill in The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and of the other Realms and the Territories to make their homage, in heart and voice, to their undoubted King, defender of all”.

The order of service will read: “All who so desire, in the Abbey, and elsewhere, say together:

“All: I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.”

Well they can f**k right off.

No this is a new idea.
Next you know they will ask us to chant in support of the NHS every Thursday.
As if, I mean, this is Britain, land of the f, oh well, mebbe not, some other nation's by-line.

Did we have to say the same at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II?
