Yes we should have our own anthem. God save the Queen bores me I'm afraid. The Scottish and Welsh anthems are very up lifting.

 

[midnight_rendezvous]

Surely our national anthem should be about our nation not about the queen or king. God Save the Queen is one of the dullest, most uninspiring anthems out there.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Save the pringles for later.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Odd for a labour MP to propose something that emphasizes England above the UK. How many pages before a mod moves this to the 'naughty' board, I wonder?

 

[Suomi Hypoxia]

I think we should stick with God Save The Queen...
...As long as it's the Sex Pistols version

 

[Badger]

My main issues with GSTQ are:

1. It's so incredibly DREARY.
2. I don't believe in God.
3. I don't care much for the Queen, there's many people I'd rather SAVE ahead of her.

So, I'm all for choosing a new anthem. It would be good to have an uplifting anthem for England, and the UK anthem should be changed too.

May as well just use the thememusic from Eastenders or Coronation Street

I think God Save The Queen is a brilliant anthem,but it's a British anthem,Protestant Scots,Protestant Northern Irish and so on

England as a single country should have it's very own anthem,not sure what though

 

[The Spanish]

has no one said 'dirge' yet? the only time the word is ever used.

love GSTQ. blah blah blah dirge not uplifting the other little countries have much more fun ones blah blah

we have our own one, and its the boss of anthems. so what if its an anachronism - its the most accurate reflection of Englands pre-eminence in the English speaking world and recognised the world over - but no people would have that changed because the jocks upset us.

Quite why anyone would take seriously what a Labour MP named Toby has to say is beyond me.

The way the party of the working class is going they will have MPs with first names like Tristram, Jeremy and Hilary soon enough mark my words.

Working class...........I should coco.

When people say "can I get a coffee?"

Oh sorry it's not that thread

 

[Pavilionaire]

Cut loose Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland completely, they can get their own Head of State. Ergo, no need for a new anthem.

 

[Sheebo]

I love GSTQ - goosebumps when it's sung at football etc. And no I'm not religious or a royalist etc... It's our anthem as far as I'm concerned..!
