      His oath is to the constitution, aspiration for unity and all
      His Oath is to be loyal to the Constitution, ( and seeing as you are so all knowing about the Constitution- it is always given a capital C)

      Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
      Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
      The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
      The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
      The best lack all conviction, while the worst
      Are full of passionate intensity.

        I think Mr Donaldson is also trying to rewrite history or else is blinded by his own beliefs. He will be wanting to take a Union flag down O'connel street next!



        I dont like the way this is put across as an unusual incident and a case of loyalty to the crown on the part of volunteers from nationalist backgrounds.
        Irish units still do similar gestures with the music they play, that way noone gets offended with the music that is played. It is normal enough to hear the sash followed by the wearing of the green played in the same set!


        Queens company rotates, if you sign on for 5 yrs you can expect to perform ceremonial duties, which last about 6 months, the whole regiment also does trooping the colour. The IG perform drill to a high standard, of which they are proud of. You also get the option of doing P company and doing 18 months with 3 Para, due to the disbandment of the guards para company.

        If you dont like ceremonial or drill dont join the guards or the RAF regiment.

        The IG are far more southern friendly then the RIR, most guardsmen are recruited from London, Liverpool and Manchester and of Catholic Irish immigrant origins.

        Afghanistan is penciled in for 2010.

          Some regiments do not all, the senior regiments, ie the household divisions origins are in fighting and serving the King, bar the Coldstream guards who fought for Cromwell.


          Others like the Northumberland fusiliers were formed from the Tyneside Irish reg, the Liverpool kings reg from Irish immigrants, etc, etc.

            Lets not forget though this is not the Rock Apes as a whole. The largest amount of cermonial is performed by the QCS.

              Google tells me QCS is
              ( and I quote)
              "QCs Seafood Bar & Restaurant is a Bar and Restaurant in Cahirciveen County Kerry Ireland."

              Well done to the staff I say.

                Here they are in their glory, the Queens Colour Sqn of the RAF Regiment. Drill without commands.

                    on this web site it doesnt matter whether you have 6 gazillion posts

                    or 1 post

                    your opinion and views are just as valid

                    Not true hedgehog, you emit venom especially to newbies when they offer dissent.

                    The Constitution states
                    Article 9,1;2 Fidelity to the nation and loyalty to the State are fundemental political duties of all citizens.
                    How is that compatible with joing the Brits and then swearing loyalty to the British Monarch?
                    Something that pisses me off ( apart from hedgehog who insists on not taking his bran flakes) is to see Irish tricolours and shamrocks being carried on British Military vehicles.

                    A suggested poll. Is IMO a recruiting sgt. for the Brits.

                      Man, are you for real? You won't have your "loyalty" to our country called into doubt, and, wait for it, your about to go off and swear loyalty to a foreign monarch??? You couldn't make this shit up. This has to be the funniest post I've read all year!
                      I will sign an agreement to serve as she is the boss, I don't care if she's a queen, a kraut or a corgy ****er, she is their boss and I will respect that, and God willing I will have my Green beret this time next year, and then when my times done I'll come home, and to piss people like you off, I might just hang a Union flag outside my door next to a tricolour........:wink:


                      Now piss off, your barstool republican bollocks is boring me.

                                Facts are meaningless - you could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true!
