National Anthem

Should the UK change its national anthem? If so, what to? I say that Jerusalem is a good one personally, but what would everyone else prefer?

Nope, keep it as it is. I can't imagine watching England playing in the World Cup or Euro's and having to sing anything other than God Save The Queen.

Although isn't the National Anthem of England Pomp and Circumstance?

No, we share our national anthem with that of Britain as a whole; 'God Save the Queen'.

I say keep it - people can only complain it's dull because it's usually played too slowly. After all, for a national anthem you need something with relatively simple harmony and a good, stirring tune, and I think 'God Save the Queen' fits the bill very well.

Land of hope and glory
Mother of the free
How shall we extol thee?
(Can't remember the next line)
Wider still and wider
Shall thy bounds be set
Godwho made thee mighty
Make thee mightier yet

My mum made me learn it when I was little.

She taught me others, but i forget them.

England can keep god save the queen, but the uk should adopt something that doesn't have the line:
"Rebellious Scots to crush."

in one of its verses.
