“I swear that I will pay true allegiance to your majesty, and to your heirs and successors according to law. So help me God.”
Seriously. When I heard that The Archbishop of Canterbury was going to 'invite' the whole Nation to swear this oath, at the same time I presume, I couldn't believe it. Are they hoping that we'll all stand in front of our TV's and swear with hand on heart, maybe bowing our heads, perhaps wearing a hat specifically so we can doff it at the same time ?
It would be like being one of 65 million extras on a Blackadder special. It really is that ridiculous.
Quite agree, what's this thing with changing the name of established places, that we are all used too
That path is in england, the place you are alluding to in is wales, so it should be in Welsh first and english for the tourists, would you anglophiles be happy with that?

I'm getting on a bit now, but it's always been the Brecon Beacons to me, are we going to start renaming everything in Wales?
You give it out, you take it back it`s all part of the game

Anglophiles? Take a look around you,right now before coming up with that.
The oath (OP) is not just pathetic in its own right but it manages, like the union flag, to disrespect Wales. The Googled, because surely no Welsh speaker would have published it, translation requires the intended oath maker to curse rather than make a solemn promise. Swear - English, make a solemn statement or promise undertaking to do something or affirming that something is the case. 'I swear that I will… ' Rhegi - Welsh, to swear Profanity, also known as cursing, cussing, swearing, bad language, foul language, obscenities, expletives or vulgarism, is a socially offensive use of language. Accordingly, profanity is language use that is sometimes deemed rude, obscene, or culturally offensive; in certain religions, it constitutes sin.
Good to see the leader of Sinn Fein has accepted her invitation.
She had to accept really because it won't be too long before she's heading up Stormont and representing all the people of NI, including the Nationalists.
A mature approach as compared with the pathetically childish antics of the DUP.

Was this the same Sinn Fein that boycotted stormont for 3 years up to 2019?
The same Sinn Fein who's MPs have boycotted Parliament leaving their constituents unrepresented.

Yep, but she is also doing it to wind up the DUP...and they deserve it!

I’m not a lover of Sinn Fein - far from it, but I think this is a positive development. Northern Ireland has been in a dark place for a long time and there’s still a long way to go, but the place has to move forward if the people are to enjoy prosperity and peace. The DUP have been appallingly bad over the last few years, the Conservatives (in particular Boris) has used and abused them and the DUP swallowed it all hook line and sinker.
Been down Loughor Estuary with the dog, have I missed anything?
I have been on a chainsaw all morning, haven't had to watch that comedy.
Swansea Indepenent Poster Of The Year 2021. Dr P / Mart66 / Roathie / Parlay / E20/ Duffle was 2nd, but he is deluded and thinks in his little twisted brain that he won. Poor sod. We let him win this year, as he has cried for a whole year. His 14 usernames, bless his cotton socks.
