5 AnswersRugby8 years agoAbout London 2012 Olympic Games and GSTQ?
Regarding th silence of non English football/soccer players when GSTQ is played .
Disappointed to read the questions and answers concerning this - they seemeed to miss the point entirely !

Quite ludicrous especially when oppisition is one of the other home Nations ! Suggestions please for a suitable candidate to replace that tired dirge ! Jerusalem ? Land of Hope and Glory ?? Please be positive and inspirational !
4 AnswersLondon9 years agoDevo Max for England : The obvious corollary ?
With recent polls in both England and Scotland showing majority support for Devo Max ( increased fiscal autonomy ) in the forthcoming 2014 Referendum in Scotland one wonders why the Cameron / Clegg coalition are clouding the issue with a diatribe of irrelevancies . By adopting such a policy south of the Border they would not only solve the West Lothian problem but provide a Parliament for Britain’ s largest nation.

1 AnswerMedia & Journalism1 decade agoWhy do English sporting teams NOT have their own National Anthem ?
It seems most peculiar that for the most part English national teams do not have their own anthem but persist in the singing of God Save the Queen which of course is the nominal anthem for the four nations of the United Kingdom . This lack of imagination perhaps accounts for the non performance of the current fifteen in recent matches at home and away . Suggestions for a viable non chariot alternative .
