Subject: RE: BS: UK Pledge of allegiance???
I gather there's an option of affirming rather than swearing, like in court.
But the point that asking people to swear allegiance to "the United Kingdom" is not a neutral thing to require, especially in Northern Ireland remains. I don't know if they are planning to modify this ceremony over there, but they need to.
