The Girl Guides and Brownies have decided to revise their oath, omitting any reference to God but including a promise "to serve the Queen".
According to the Telegraph:
One young girl wrote that she felt like she was "lying to the Brownies" by making a promise to a God in whom she did not believe.
But how many people are lying to the Guides, the Brownies, the police, the armed forces and quite a few other organizations by making a promise to a monarch in whom they do not believe?
Much of what will appear on this blog will also appear in the Syniadau Forums, but the emphasis on this blog is slightly different. The forums are focused more on the structures and institutions that Wales will need to develop in order to become a successful independent nation, arranged on a subject by subject basis, but the blog will have more of an emphasis on day to day political news and developments.
People are welcome to reply or leave comments either here or on the Syniadau Forums. If anyone wants to initiate a new subject they are very welcome to do so there.
