Only in Labour's britain.

[Hetzer]

The Daily Mail reports that Brown is proposing 'citizenship classes' to UK school pupils, in which they'll be encouraged to formally swear allegiance to the queen.

Are we on the same fvcking planet as these turds?

If my daughter's school started doing that, I'd take her out.



EDIT: I mean take my daughter out of the school, not take out the Queen!

Crazy I know. Obviously this is about making people feel British again, when in actual fact we are all about to become primarily citizens of the new nation called the European Union. That name is being kept so as not to arouse suspicion. Your British citizenship will be on a secondary basis for a while.

PS. How long before "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" disappears from the from of our passports?

Citizenship is nothing new, I had it for like 4 years in secondary school. Essentially they tried to teach us moral values like we were 5, after about 3 weeks of it we stopped paying attention and took the piss the whole lesson.

But there wasn't any queen stuff in it.

Itchy are you like Hetzers sidekick, wherever he posts, you seem to be quickly behind. Almost like Tony and Gordon...

I got told I should love the Queen at school, nothing wrong with it.

Teacher said the queen is the only British thing left in London, and as long as she stays alive this country will keep some heritage and some respect.

/shrugs/ Seemed to make a little sense to me.

I'm not too clued up on most of the things that go on here in current affairs though.

I'm quite a fan of HM, but I don't think kids should be swearing allegiance.

It's one thing if they join the scouts or the Army/RAF (Navy doesn't have to - we're far too classy) but enforced loyalty before they can even fully understand or influence the system is hardly cricket.

Just another eye-catching initiative to try and grab back some ground from the Tories, and hide the fact that NL are actually anti-British.

Meh. I preferred being blindly oblivious.

I'm at a point where I don't give a damn, simply because I'm too busy having fun and growing up

Interesting how the Beeb is reporting this:

[hellkat]

From the very top line of that same report ...

"School-leavers should be encouraged to swear an oath of allegiance "

... a slight difference between small schoolchildren and school leavers, who like to think that they are all grown up by the time they leave, and know what they are doing more than small children do.

I think the Daily Mail is only getting hysterical about it because it means more immigrants would probably be able to take the oath, as - having had their children put through the British school and benefits system - their sense of allegiance to the country would be higher than the disenfranchised indigenous British youth leaving school at the same time.

I suppose the main question is what are the consequences of NOT taking such an oath.

Right, so they want to make us feel more British by importing a load of psuedo-patriotic crap from America.

Rampant corruption still alive and well in Labour's caring sharing Gt-Britain.

On a trip to Thailand last year we went to watch a movie, i was amazed to learn that at the start of every single film shown in the country is a short film about how much the king rocks. You also have to stand up an put your hand on your heart while your watching it. Didn't want to find out what happens if you don't, i was strongly advised to get my arse up an hail to the chief.

Glad i have the right to say the queen can lick my balls without being thrown in the slammer for 10 years.
