I'm not English, but I find your anthem beautiful and probably the best of all national anthems that I've heard. I get goosebumps, when it's sung before a game.
I love the French and Welsh Anthems. it so inspiring.
I press the mute button for most of the rest including the National anthem as the words are so depressing.
As a very proud and passionate 75% Englishman and 25% Welshman through my Maternal Granddad. Why can't the English have they own Anthem ?
Land of hope and Glory is uplifting and gets you ready for the contest.
Singing about a billionaire and a man's construct is crazy when you want to galvanize a nation.
The only time the nation (blacks, whites, browns) has been 'galvanized' over the last 10 years has been when something has been happening with the Royals, save the Olympics.

I'd argue that it's probably less bait for 'knuckle-draggers' than politically correct, Guardian-reading, unwashed, lefties like myself.

The people who attend Royal events are Folk who enjoy the comfort of being a subject or tourists who love to see the colour and pageantry on their trips. Plus the Red arrows ETC.
Having spent 3 years living aboard when i was a boy,( in Africa) I noticed on social days with other Adult Brits they spent the time either slagging off the UK or saying how homesick they were ! Expats always seem to have this sweet and sour approach to Britain.
Still say Land of hope and glory is the way forward for the English.
Whilst I agree our National Anthem isn't one of the best, and there are many times when it comes across as drab and dull, it certainly isn't the worst, and there are definitely times when it is belted out and CAN be uplifting and rousing...
The guy that had a go about the use of the term "red indians" on here the other day is going to be going potty at this.
Fair enough, but I really need to know why in this instance.
Without resorting to abuse like the other Shootie did
I'll apologise for calling you a twonk if you apologise for trolling.
I'll apologies for trolling, even though I ain't, when you explain what is wrong with my post
Well I think most of your posts are made to get a reaction. If you don't know what's wrong with labelling people like you have then see below. You posted :
The only time the nation (blacks, whites, browns) has been 'galvanized' over the last 10 years etc.
You know damn well that your remark should and could easily have used the word "everyone" but you are just out to get a reaction so used the derogatory terms of black, whites, browns.
That my old mucka is classic trolling. If not then it's even worse.

The point I was making was that people of races (black, white and brown) came together to celebrate various Royal occasions, thus galvanising the country. What is your issue with that?
Sorry I find it a dirge. Love the Welsh and Scottish anthems, can see why their supporters sing so passionately, but do not understand any love for ours. Fine for GB & NI at Olympics, but there should be something different for England.

if anything it does the complete opposite.
