Warbler said:I see nothing wrong with God Save The Queen or The Star-Spangled Banner. They've been the National Anthems of both countries for years. I say let it stay that way.
I couldn't care less what the national anthem of the UK is. I'm talking about making Land of Hope of Glory England's national anthem: it doesn't currently have an official one. As for what is wrong with the aforementioned anthems, I just do not like either and think better alternatives exist.
This is the old verse about the Scots that was at one time in the UK's national anthem.
- 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.
This is just anti-Jacobite though really.
