Can you write an oath of allegiance?

http://timesonline.typepad.com/comment/2008/03/so-lord-goldsmi.html

I pledge my allegiance to Queen and common man but not those pigs at Westminster who will be publicly flogged when the revolution comes, liberal PC criminal rights will be swept away in the name of the people.

I pledge to fight the EU and destroy it and rip its filthy Black heart out.


Every man women and child will be given the Union Flag to put up in there gardens and feel proud and smile.

I pledge to create my own living space that has no gods or kings, only pure and untamed man.

Brown really doesn't get what it is to be British, does he? It isn't about American-style oaths of allegiance to the flag, or little Stars and Stripes lapel badges or flagposts in the front garden. It's about a quiet sense of pride, "patriotism" as opposed to "nationalism".

And America really should never have been about oaths of allegiance to the flag either. Fight it, boys.

Pledges of allegiance are garbage. I've never made one to Australia and I never will. I don't have to prove my patriotism and I would feel being asked to do so demeaning.

I just wish our PoA reverted back to its original form
