Allow the song 'English Rose' by Paul Weller to be England's National Anthem.
Due to the devolution process England needs her own National Anthem. 'English Rose' by Paul Weller is a stirring modern patriotic song and has no religious, war, Imperialism, British or royal references etc therefore will not be divisive and will be more widely acceptable and unifying.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This isn’t something that the UK Government or Parliament would be able to do. There is at present no anthem for England. The use of the present National Anthem is a matter of tradition rather than having any legal or constitutional status.
