Labour Wants Rewrite of "God Save the Queen"
Lord Goldsmith, former attorney general and the lawyer leading Labour's review of Britishness, suggests that Britain's National Anthem should be rewritten because "God Save the Queen" is insufficiently inclusive.
The problem is that some lyrics in obscure later verses express bellicosity toward the Queen's enemies. But there's some good news: the Union Jack will be preserved — for now.
Britain's is the world's first national anthem.
On a tip from El Presidente.

Can we suggest a few moonbat national anthems for when Prince Chuckles ascends the throne? Maybe 'Kumbaya', or 'I Love You, You Love Me' from the Barney Show?
