There has been quite an odd response to this. Previously only the great and the good could swear allegiance. Now they have made it more inclusive and people are moaning. |  |

I would have an issue if school kids were ‘encouraged’ to do this whilst at school. The whole oath thing is simply dressed-up fun making people feel like they are there. But I do hope that those swearing alliance are religious otherwise the whole ‘so help me God’ thing makes it just pointless. |  | |  |
