More from our lords and masters about “citizenship”
School-leavers are to be encouraged to swear an oath of allegiance to the Queen under new government proposals being unveiled on British citizenship.
Excuse me for a moment while I remove my fingers from my throat.
Ah, that’s better. According to Lord Goldsmith, it will give young people a sense of Britishness:
Lord Goldsmith, who carried out the review at the request of Gordon Brown, believes that citizenship ceremonies for teenagers would help improve their sense of what it means to be a British citizen.
A more un-British thing is hard to imagine.

That’s shocking! Kim’s just told me that should she wish to travel to the UK (this applies to all Foreign Nationals and those not members of the EU) and stay for longer than 3 months, she will be made to have an ID Card. It’s nice to know that the freedoms which many fought and died for are being respected. C*nts!
