Hi Bella…..I am so disappointed about your pending loss of employment

as for the pledge of allegiance, how about

I pledge allegiance to the one true Leader
of the hard working British people
and the the Parliamentary theocracy of which he is master
many sycophants, under one party, subserviant,
suppressing the freedom and liberty of many

I’ve always wondered why the oath of allegiance is to the flag and not to the constitution…?

Thanks, Theresa!

Now, see, your pledge of allegiance is a really good and earnest one, whereas I was just taking the piss…

Hi Bella,

Like your blog and liked your latin version of Cranmer’s ‘Hail Gordon’.

Anyway, here’s my go at a British oath of allegiance

I pledge allegiance to the Head of State of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and to her/his Parliament,
And vow to guard the law, liberty and virtue of this land,
with equality and justice for all.
