Instead of God Save the Queen , it's being put to parliament today / tomorrow that the English sporting teams should have there own anthem for when they are competing  the nations ect  , Jerusalem appears to be the favourite 

personally I don't see a problem Scotland Ireland and Wales have there's so why not England

The current National Anthem should have been consigned to the dustbin of national hatred years ago.  It was designed to be devisive and insulting. 

One of the verses is :-

Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.

May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.

God save the Queen!


Surprised

The English deserve a better anthem than  that !!!

You'll Never Walk Alone as an anthem. You must be joking.

A great song but hardly appropriate as an anthem. Crikey, talk about dumbing down!

Elgar - Land of hope and glory. In fact it would be better than our current national anthem.

I'm with you on that one cyber......Cool

Does anybody know if we will actualy get a vote on this subject, or is it another nanny state recommendation forced on us ?

It would be nice to have a vote and quite simple to organise, one click and its done....Cool
