Replace the British National Anthem
The British National Anthem should be replaced with "Bonkers" by Dizzee Rascal.
The current National Anthem is extremely outdated and is specific to the Christian religion. As a multi-cultural nation, we should be celebrating all religions and not just one. This song symbolising the freedom of the United Kingdom and how we are independent. The lines "I'm just living my life" and "I just think I'm free" are perfect examples of this. as they represent our individuality as a nation. Finally, the song is a lot more catchy than the current anthem, making for a great choice.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The use of the present National Anthem is a matter of tradition rather than having any legal or constitutional status.
