      it is not, its the most widely disliked anthem of all time, even by H.M the Queen** rule brtitania wipes the floor, even land of hope * GLORY with *god save the king every time...
      even compared too many other anthems, god save the queen is not only slow,its flat, competly lacklustre,no passion whatsoever,...almost dead by the final lyric...**
      most english people,.** much prefer the stirring and passionate jerusalem, at least it bolts you too attention...more like a lightning bolt, the welsh have "land of my fathers", the french** marsellies, the russians "my homeland" each on of these is much more profound, and there are many many others...

      I wish we could do something with Rule Britannia, it is one of my best liked nationalist anthems.. Oh, and I have no issue with tipping my hat to her Royal Majesty, either. She represents the nation which is America's foremost ally in this world.

    If Britons would just stop apologising for being, well, BRITISH, that would be a start. The British Empire was the greatest source of good and progress the world has known since Christianity and yet it been taught to two generations of British children as something to be ashamed of. I bet most don't even know the words to "Rule Britannia" or "Land of Hope & Glory" let alone be able to sing it in school.

    Which is something like.
