Here we go again. It seems that the Scouts Association won't allow an eight year old boy to join the Cub Scouts because he will not pledge allegience to HM the Queen. More religious bigotry ???
Parents should refrain from enforcing their own bigotry on their children! And, probably more to the point, parents should never use their children to 'score' political (with a small 'p' in this case) points!
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety" - Benjamin Franklin
More like rampant republicanism. What happens if her son decides to join the military when he's older, will she refuse to let him swear allegiance to the Queen then? Stupid woman..........
I came into the world with nothing and still have most of it left..
