New national anthem?

[GrecianWonder]

Labour Mp is proposing that England has its own sporting anthem as 'God save the Queen' is for Britain and England is just a component yada yada.

Jerusalem would be the favourite to be sung at by the national team. I really dislike it, it displays our arrogance.

England is Britain, natch, so we must keep God Save The Queen.

It's good to know in this time of global strife we really have our priorities right. Etc.

Jerusalem is a great socialist anthem, so yes.

Otherwise, in tribute to Lemmy, "No Sleep to Hammersmith".

God Save the Queen isn't great for those of us who are atheist and despise the monarchy.

La Marseillaise isn't exactly great for pacifists either. Not sure I get your point.

It's outdated and implies that Britain is vehemently Christian which, like it or not, it isn't any more

Most national anthems are outdated and imply things about the nation that aren't true any more.

[Jason H]

In your opinion. I think it's fine.
