WHAT A DAMNED SILLY THING TO HAVE TO SAY

"Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our ...... "

Sorry, not that one but it is a pretty stupid thing to have to say.

No, I mean this:

“I swear that I will pay true allegiance to your majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.”

This bit of nonsense is being advocated to replace the traditional homage of peers. See:

OFFENSIVE CORONATION DAY OATH

I heard on the radio today (RNZ National) that some monarchy idiots want New Zealanders to join all the other nutters around the world to recite the oath simultaneously as that old fool Charles gets a crown plonked on his head. Maybe that's where the word 'plonker' comes from

"Millions of people will be asked to say a pledge of allegiance to the King when he is crowned on Saturday.

For the first time in history, the public will be given an active role in the coronation, with the Archbishop of Canterbury calling on those watching or listening to the event to take part in a "great cry around the nation and around the world of support for the King".

Why the hell New Zealanders want to  pledge allegiance to this jug-eared fool and his inbred and over-privileged off-spring is anyone's guess. Maybe it's a distraction from all of the political, economic and social woes that the United Kingdom is undergoing at present.
