Default The English National Anthem
Just been listening to the rugby team singing 'God Save the Queen' on 5Live, before the England v SA game. Got me thinking that is it not about time that the anthem is changed ? Should a national anthem be about the country itself rather than a person (ie the reigning monarch).

'Land of Hope and Glory' would be my choice and I'm sure there are other contenders. Why sing about the Queen ? It's outdated, IMO.

I don't like it much either.

But to be honest I don't really care, couldn't give a f**k what it is.

'I vow to thee my country' just so much better than god save the queen, which is a **** and frankly uninspiring 'anthem'

Because she's the Head of State.

This by a long way:

Rule Britannia such a good song, tune and arrogant enough to be a good anthem.
