    Jerusalem or Land of Hope and Glory.
    Me, I'm undecided between either of the last two. But ditch GSTQ... as someone said, a dirge. Regardless of any political inferences which is the best song and tune?

    Land of Hope and Glory. Never saw the appeal of Jerusalem.

    I know John Lydon/Johnny Rotten was not the best singer, but I wouldn't call it a dirge...

    If I could

    and got odds anywhere approaching 100-1 ON I would put a bob or two on God Save the Queen getting ZERO votes in this poll.

    None of the above.

    Land of hope and glory:
    God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet
    God, who made thee mighty, make thee mightier yet

    Jerusalem:
    And was the Holy Lamb of God
    On England's pleasant pastures seen?

    God save the queen:
    God save the Queen
    O Lord our God arise

    How about one which doesn't peddle a myth, aim to control the masses and create hatred throughout the world?

    If Corbyn gets in we could have " lazing on a sunny afternoon"

    Can just imagine belting out the line.

    The tax man's taken all my dough and left me in my stately home, lazing on a sunny afternoon .

    I can't even sail my yacht he's taken everything I've got
    Lazing on a sunny afternoon.


    That Would be a great anthem wouldn't it?
