Calling all British Citizens / Uniting the United Kingdom

Regardless of your political or religious beliefs, you can’t fail to have noticed that the United Kingdom is in a bit of a mess with no signs of things improving any time soon.

Can I ask you to take a look at this, which I suppose is a modified Magna Carta for the 21st century, read what it has to say & sign up if you care about your country. Over 50,000 people have done just that so far & the organisers are hoping to get that number up to 100,000 by Christmas. 

This is the idea behind The Pledge, from one of the originators:-

 We aim to build a community of people who are committed to our nation.
We believe in the power of the people to influence those elected to serve us.”

    totally vague, non-specific, and could be used to justify almost anything, not for me.

    @ParkinsonOut who is organising this? It sounds like the work of some far right group.

    Yes, I delved further and the aims are definitely those of the far right.

    Who are the organisers you talk of?

    What are these Christian traditions?  Are we going back to before the reformation?  Will Christmas be banned again?

    As as non-Christian would I have to leave the UK or convert?

    How vague is the wording and is it just a stalking horse for far-right populism and Muslim bashing?

    How long will this thread stay open?

    And you’re clearly left & think the U.K. is in a great state.

    Sorry I tried to gather support from people who probably all cheer on England football, rugby, cricket, but don’t actually care about the country.

  • A Trojan Horse, but one with windows in the side that lets you see the soldiers waiting inside. The ulterior motives are obvious from a mile off.

    As soon as I clicked on it I knew it would either be weirdo left, or weirdo right. When I saw the word "faith" I knew which it was.

    Does everything that involves trying to improve/save/rebuild our country have to be twisted around as “far-right”? 

    Clearly it seems that I’m wasting my time & our fans are “far-left” who think the country is heading in the right direction?

    Had everybody had that attitude back in the early 1940s, we’d all be speaking German now.

    suggest you read his beliefs and policies then, certainly far right, and I am actually a Conservative voter all my life (bar once SDP), so am hardly a left winger. Don't come the old "clearly ...." you raised the topic so should expect to be challenged especially under "Real Democracy" whatever that is.
  • it's a bit vague. 
  • Parkinson out urgently needs some diversity training me thinks. And a second chance at some basic education.

    Well, Islamism is 'far-right'', but it isn't white folk and their cohort of haf-witted, self-hating useful idiots calling for intifada (i.e a new holocaust) every weekend in our once proud capital city.......As such, it appears to get the establishment approved 'two tier' free pass from the all-knowing moral guardians who now dominate this once socially diverse site.

    Allu Akhbar!

    I’m convinced 99% of people who have discovered the term “Magna Carta” in the past couple of years have absolutely no idea what it refers to. I remember the Covid nutters on social media who were turning up at hospitals invoking their “Magna Carta rights”. 

    Oh, and this pledge thing is clearly nonsense. 
  • Some serious (non-compliant) data harvesting going on amongst that load of old bollocks.
