The Archbishop of York wants all British nations to sing God Save the Queen before all international football matches. :banghead:

Stick to your 1 day working week.

England should stop singing GSTQ, it’s a British anthem not an English one. England should sing Vindaloo.

I don’t mind God save the Queen by the Sex Pistols but nothing will ever be sung but our anthem.

To be honest I think with the dysfunctional family she has, God HELP the Queen would be more appropriate. :twisted:

I don’t see the issue.

United Kingdom.

I would be proud to sing it but alongside our amazing anthem.

for things like sporting events England should have their own anthem.... and maybe ? if they did and both were played along with GSTQ there might be less resentment..

Would sing it after our anthem....never instead of.
Funny how a guy in York expects the other nations to sing it .
English arrogance as usual

As said above, it should be played for things to do with Great Britain - so the Olympics etc.

I don't think many people have an issue with that.

But not for things just involving England without the other three nations being with them.

It's like when Americans call her "The Queen of England".

Personnal choice for me it's a no.
I don't believe in God.So why would I want him.her ,it to save her.

No issues with it. I’m proudly welsh and British. However when it comes to sporting events where Wales is playing - we have a quality anthem. I am on board with England having their own anthem though.
We need less
Hostile division between us. I’m all for banter though.

I respect everyones choice of religion - so this post not aimed at you Stickywicket :)

I just thought, when I read this post, I am actually surprised the "PC Police" havent sought to replace the UK National Anthem so as not to remove the word "God"

I'd rather take a bullet than sing a song for those nonces.
