You know more than me 
Talking of anthems, the national anthem of Australia is a bit stupid, really.
"Our home is girt by sea".
girt=encircle, surrounded.
Now, correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't that pretty much the definition of Land? the bit that isn't sea? |

Ahhhh
'Australians all let us ring joyce

What a great anthem
I hear Pakistan are adopting that 'our home is girt by sea' line into their anthem |

Well, if we're going down that route, what about Chumbawamba "Tubthumping" (also known as "I Get Knocked Down"icon_wink.gif?
It’s likely to be quite appropriate too. |

Land of Hope and Glory. You can sing along to it without having to be a member of a Welsh choir like Jerusalem! Alos i don't get why a song about England is called after a city in the middle east?

I think you can take that for granted, nothing to do with god so its fine 
I don't mind Jeruslalem/Land of Hope and glory but we should stick with our Anthem. |

Why?
It’s clearly about creating Heaven in England as it would have been had the legend of Jesus visiting England with Joseph of Arimathea been true - Since everywhere Jesus stepped foot was regarded as heaven by his followers.
It has clear religious meaning and reference to God. |

Which is what?
GSTQ is the anthem of the United Kingdon of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. And was written as such.
What's the anthem of England? |

There isn't an official anthem, but in practice its either Jerusalem or GSTQ. But, LOHAG was used at either the last Comm Games or World Athletics Championship. |

Not sure about all the words but I think I know the first verse.
Land of hope and glory,mother of the free
How shall we extol thee,who are born of thee
Wider still and wider,shall the bound be set
God who made thee mighty,make thee mightier yet.
I have no doubt you will prove me wrong Barry. |
