Jon Posted June 27, 2003 Share Posted June 27, 2003 What should we have as our National Anthem God save the Queen or Jerusalam or what would you like to be our National Anthem? Take down The Union Jack-Billy Bragg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidla Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 I think it should be Land of Hope and Glory. That's what they used for the commonwealth games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robh Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Billy Connolly suggested we should use the Archer's theme tune. Alternatively bring back the original. Verse 6 was: 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 King!

DaBouncer Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Nowt wrong wi the Union Jack my friend... a symbol of strength and power! Or at least it was! Now it's a symbol of 'come on in free loaders... take our benefits'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halevan Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Here Here, D.B. that is dead right, anything but God save the Queen would be stupid. We need the stability of the royalty and all our traditions. Also, you are right about giving our hard earned wealth away to scroungers from all over the world, it should be stopped. NOW.

Yes I agree, I dont have anything against people coming for a genuine need of care or escape, but im sure there are some which are taking tax payers for having "Mug" stamped on their foreheads!

alchresearch Posted June 28, 2003 Share Posted June 28, 2003 Rule Brittania is probably the best choice. It's the most lively, positive tune (Hope and Glory like God Save is really slow and old), and is very patriotic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lickszz Posted July 2, 2003 Share Posted July 2, 2003 I personally like Land of Hope and Glory too. Many moons ago Frank Bruno used to make his ring entrances to this and God Save the Queen on the odd occasion. I liked this it showed that he was a very proud man.
