More details
I'm sick and tired of God Save the Queen being used as the English anthem. GStQ is a royal anthem, not the English anthem.
If the Scots and Welsh can have their own anthems then it's about time that the FA stopped using the British anthem for England.
Please vote for your preferred English anthem at http://anthem4england.co.uk

Also the current National Anthem presupposes that all people both believe in God and are Royalists.....
I have an inkling that this may not be so any more!!!!!!!
It is incredible that in this day and age people should worship their opprersors in such a pathetic brainwashed way. It is sad that the masses are so stupid. God save the queen my backside. How about sucking Blairs you know what while you are at it. Dumb "Brits".
We'll never be able to hold our own against the Marseillaise until we adopt Jerusalem as the new English national anthem.
