Gamston Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 That's the british national anthem. Keep up. I know that . Why the need for England to have it's own National Anthem ? God Save The Queen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
999tigger Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I know that . Why the need for England to have it's own National Anthem ? God Save The Queen Because sometimes England acts on its own for such things as sports teams. Football and rugby come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Jerusalem (2nd verse) (And then ban political parties [but not voluntary organisations] from using it) I'm not big on banning things but I like the idea of banning poltical parties from using it. I'd ban political parties from using national flags too. Some interesting results on the poll thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not those of the nation in some ridiculous attempt to con the public into thinking they're speaking for all of us.
