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.
