English Nathional Anthem?

[SpudLink]

MPs agree that there should be a national anthem for England.

Assuming you agree with the idea, what would you choose? Can PH agree what the ideal anthem should be?

Personally I'd vote for Land of Hope and Glory.

The W.I. organised a collective vote to get Jerusalem adopted for the Commonwealth Games. Maybe we can do the same for the official English anthem.

Agree seems timely - especially if you are a republican atheist! And nice if you are a Scot who doesn't want to be crushed for being 'rebellious' (verse 6).

I'd vote Land of Hope and Glory - slightly less Levant than Jerusalem!

The NP&E area of PH have been ruminating about this since this morning - with no discernible conclusion, I might add. But then it's NP&E.

Why not just have: Enger—land, Engerland, Engerland, Enger—land Enger—land Enger—landddd... Enger—land Enger—land, Everyone can remember the words and they sing/chant it at footy matches already.

I vow to thee/World in union is good but this seems more appropriate...

He's correct.
