National anthem : English choice ?

Land Of Hope And Glory!

Jerusalem, as it is still relevant. Land of hope and glory sings the praises of an empire that no longer exists ('wider still and wider shall thy bounds be set' - I don't think so) and it explicitly sings of a 'god who made thee mighty' - not really ideal for a supposedly secular state. Rule Britannia is even more outdated.

Jerusalem asks rhetorical questions of god, so doesn't mention one specifically - 'did those feet in ancient time?' maybe, maybe not. It sings of a struggle to make a better world - 'I will not cease in mental fight, nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, till we have built Jerusalem [i.e Utopia]', and most importantly it sings of 'England's green and pleasant land', not Britain, so it's a true English anthem.

God save the queen would be better if only it was played how it was supposed to be originally, a reasonably fast galliard, not a slow march. 60 or 52 beats per minute is like a dirge!

For a unique English anthem, either Land of Hope and Glory or Jerusalem.

UK National Anthem : I Vow to Thee My Country

UK Royal Anthem : God Save the Queen

English National Anthem : Jerusalem

God save the Queen is still fine for me. Failing that maybe Land of hope and glory.

I'm not sufficiently small world tribalistic to really be that bothered

GSTQ like the football fans sing. I'm bored to tears with Swing Low.

Isn't the answer God save our Queen

land of hope and glory,
