BBC NEWS | Politics | Pupils 'to take allegiance oath' Quote:
School-leavers are to be encouraged to swear an oath of allegiance to Queen and country under new proposals being unveiled on British citizenship.
Ex-attorney general Lord Goldsmith, who is calling for the ceremony in a report to Gordon Brown, says it would give teenagers a sense of belonging.
But Labour peer Baroness Kennedy says: "I think it's rather silly."
He is also proposing a new public holiday to celebrate "Britishness" along the lines of Australia Day.
John Dunford from the Association of School and College leaders said it was "a half-baked idea".
| Hmmmm wtf??? What the hell is Lord Goldsmith playing at? This is grade A bull****!!
