Fk me you took your time with googling that......anyway after all that it still means nowt
 
I have taken no pledge nor sworn an oath to any Queen. If new citizens are asked to swear an oath, I suppose it’s up to them whether to do so or not. I think members of the armed forces do too. Not me though. What loyalty, or love, I have for my country has nothing to do with any monarch. Maybe if I met Alfred the Great I’d be impressed, but the current bunch of Hanoverian interlopers mean nothing to me.

Funny thing is, new "citizens" not only have to swear that oath but before that they have to complete a test... all about the U.K., it's history etc. A test which, when they gave it to those born here, they failed <laugh>

I guess according to Jakarta there's an assumption we know it all by default bcos we're born here lol
 
I can't remember what, but I know I got good grades/marks in history, think they must have got my paper mixed up with someone elses.

My Mrs is doing it at the moment as she has decided she is finally ready to swear allegiance to the queen and take advantage of visa free travel. At the moment she has to get one for everywhere but Asean, Peru, Colombia and Morocco. Its almost as if they want them to be used as drug mules.

I don't know dude... I've never had 2 say fk all myself
Me neither. Its probably just we don’t trust foreigners even if they are becoming new citizens. Those going through new citizenship ceremonies in Wales can do it in Welsh:
Llw teyrngarwch
Yr wyf i, (enw), yn tyngu i Dduw Hollalluog y byddaf i, ar ôl dod yn ddinesydd Prydeinig, yn ffyddlon ac yn wir deyrngar i’w Mawrhydi y Frenhines Elisabeth yr Ail, ei Hetifeddion a’i Holynwyr, yn unol âr gyfraith.

I would think your average Bangladeshi would be having 2nd thoughts about his new citizenship when asked to recite that.

Is there an English test as well? I can't remember if I heard that or not.

The Queen's dead mate, so I doesn't count.
