I really think it is the right time for England to have its own anthem.
All the other home nations have theirs, so why not England?
The present anthem should only be played when all home nations are together, such as Armistice Day or the Queen’s Birthday. Watching the Commonwealth Games and seeing Scotland win a gold then the Scottish anthem being played makes that gold an individualist and good for Scotland, but still a part of the home countries.
So come on this coalition Government, give England its own anthem.
