Right then pop pickers, chesterfields MP Toby Perkins (who?) is pushing for a national anthem for England and thinks the public should be consulted, which I don't think is a bad idea.

 

Opines?

It's a pity the MP hasn't got any other issues to push . There is nothing wrong with England using "God Save The Queen"

No words though for sportsmen and women to sing badly or left wing politicians to angst over.

 

Is that a bad thing though? Can a national anthem have no lyrics?

 

Yes is he short answer after a tiny bit of research. Spain's national anthem has no official words. Neither does Bosnia.

Why no Rule Britannia?

 

edit: Just re-read the OP and its about England, so the above wouldn't work I suspect.

I know that . Why the need for England to have it's own National Anthem ?

 

God Save The Queen
