British values oath proposed for public office holders

Quote:

Civil servants and other holders of public office should swear an oath to British values, Communities Secretary Sajid Javid has said. Writing in the Sunday Times, Mr Javid said people could not play a "positive role" in public life unless they accepted basic values. These included democracy, equality and freedom of speech, he said. Mr Javid's proposals would mean every new recruit in the public sector, including councillors, school governors and civil servants would be expected to commit to the oath, which may have to be read out loud before starting the role. This could extend to those working in the NHS and the BBC. The new oath could include "tolerating the views of others even if you disagree with them", "believing in freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom from abuse", "a belief in equality, democracy and the democratic process" and "respect for the law, even if you think the law is an ass," Mr Javid writes.

Sod that! it's not very British.
Who decides what's in the oath?
What about all the people already in jobs? would they have to say it?
Would they be fired if they didn't?
Would it include a signed decleration?

He can stuff his oath.
