Why does England get lumped with "God Save the Queen" for their anthem in the six nations (and other sports)?
I don't see Scotland or Wales being lumped with it.
Land of Hope and Glory (or even Jerusalem) are far more interesting.

Hmm, God Save The Queen. I am not sure that I believe in either.

It would be nice if they could stop singing the UK national anthem and get one of their own. They're not the UK, they're just England. The Welsh & Scottish have their own language, culture and anthem. There is no need to resort to that antiquated dirge. |

I can't stand the UK National Anthem and so England can have it except that on principal it isn't theirs to have. |

You'd rather have a presidency? A lying scum bag politician as head of state? I wouldn't! |

I don’t know why we’d want a fictional deity to save Elton John, nut if that’s what people want to sing about, then who I am I to argue? |
