Milestones

Because we feel the present oath of allegiance is out of date and is not fit for purpose in protecting our democracy. Many people in Britain are dissatisfied with our democracy and so we believe we need this change of oath to restore confidence in our democracy again.

I put forward the suggestion that the oath for our military and our police be changed to the following… "I do solemnly swear to protect and serve the British People, British Democracy and English Common Law and to protect the land and the borders of the British Isles against hostile forces that would seek whether by force or sedition to usurp the British Constitution or our Christian heritage."
