I don't object to God Save The Queen under the GB flag for sporting events and such, but it would be nice if England adopted it's own National Anthem, for those occaisions Land Of Hope and Glory would get my vote.

thats the most sensible reply on here.
The national anthem is a national one, but it's part of our heritage. Your all so keen on getting rid of the sponging royals but do you think how much prestige They give the country? Would we get that with A president?, what would you do with the all the royal connected things that help draw tourists in, the palace, the crown jewels, etc . It's not just the royal family you'd be getting rid of, it's far more than that.
God save our Queen
Religion let it be
Royals lets throw them out and get a president
Is that not a contradiction, that goes against the main religion in this country? As the two go together. Why was the church of england formed?
I do think England needs an Identity of it's own though, we have st patricks day, but when it comes to stgeorges day, nothing, no celebration, no holiday, just some politically correct loony telling the people that have bothered to fly the flag that they're being racist.
