If these don't make your hair stand up on end, you're not British!




Ps. I couldn't find God Save the Queen or the traditional Auld Lang Syne from the proms

Regardless of all other issues Jerusalem is the only thing that could replace God Save the Queen/King. It almost makes my very few neck hairs stand on end and nothing else comes close to that in emotiveness. And I still support the Union before anyone asks.

I fail to see why we need a National Anthem far beyond mindless chanting.

Although, for kicks, make it a foreign and slightly offensive song. At least, that's what I'd do.

There is a petition on the Government website for it to become "Gold" by Spandau Ballet.

For the British National Anthem I would have Rule Britannia as not all British Patriots are now Monarchists.

Land of Hope and Glory would be the English National Anthem.

Not all Americans are republicans (i.e. supporters of the republican system) but America still retains a solidly republican national anthem.

The same applies to France. There is a monarchist minority in France but the state is republican and so is the national anthem of France.

So, I see no reason for our country England/UK to kowtow to republicans.

This is a Royalist state and it must retain a Royalist national anthem.

Permanently.

God Save The Queen.

Around one third of British people arnt monarchists.
Having a Royalist anthem is turning away decent Republican Patriots.

You mention France and the USA yet the Monarchist movements in these nations are tiny.
