I like Jersusalem because it speaks to England's Christian heritage, something they will have to rediscover if they are ever going to be great again. 'Land of Hope and Glory' , 'Rule, Britannia!' and 'I Vow To Thee My Country.' are good choices as well.

Italy's national anthem may be stirring, but it makes you want to dance rather than fight. I don't think England wants to go there.

Spoken as an American whose most recent English ancestor arrived in 1850. Others arrived much earlier, and several met and married into the people who were already here.

“..’Rule, Britannia!’ ....”

The UK would have to invest in a Navy again!

Germany’s “Deutschland uber Alles” always makes me want to invade something.

For me, it’s the fridge.

“Rule, Britannia!” has the word “slaves” in it, so they’ll probably say it’s racist for the same reason they say “The Star Spangled Banner” is racist.
