That Corbyn fella...

Hurray for the Queen! This will be interesting:

By custom, the leader of the opposition becomes a member of the Privy Council—the small body of advisers to the Queen. When you are first sworn in as a Privy Councillor, you must observe a particular ritual: kneel on one knee, on a stool; raise a Bible in the right hand, for the lengthy intoning of the oath; stand up, walk three paces forward, and kiss the monarch’s hand; then walk backward, preferably without tripping over the stool. All of this is enough to strike terror into the privileged. So how will it affect someone who is a self-confessed republican, and an atheist to boot?
