tinfoilhat Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamston Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinfoilhat Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 I'm with Billy Connolly on this.. The Archers theme. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
