    Allegiance

    Hope you are all going to swear your allegiance to King Charles. Great 👍

    "Coronation will include invite to public to swear allegiance out loud to King Charles
    People watching the ceremony will be invited to say the words: "I swear that I will pay true allegiance to Your Majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law - so help me God."
    God save the king 🤴

    I will be opting out of that Alf.

    Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, did not require the public to swear allegiance, but she was highly respected, and a magnificent queen.

    I'm all for the Monarchy, it puts all the right noses out of joint, but I ain't swearing any allegiance, when it gets around tea-time I swear allegiance to Mrs S, that apart I swear allegiance to no one.

    I have done it once when I joined the Royal Air Force and I kept that oath right up until I left in May 1989. However, since then I have had no need to swear allegiance to anyone and I certainly won't be doing so as a totally meaningless gesture.

    What does it mean anyway? An antiquated oath when the Barons and their knights were a threat to the monarch. For some, I suspect, it meant keeping their heads.

    I think the Latin sounds something like this, "off XVI Pedicabo".

    .

    Interesting how "allegiance" is abandoned when it requires an oath of obedience, so what does all this pagentry amount to ?...flashbacks to British Imperialism, the Tilbury speech, Hornblower and Rorke's drift, steam trains and iron, when Britain ruled the.....etc etc, to hell with the suffering, it an easy sweep under the wooly carpet. crown another oversized head and give the green light to another synthetic schemer and his parasitic progeny
