Change the national anthem

The people of Britain were given a voice on the new government website, but I'm not sure they were expecting a petition to change the national anthem to Gold by Spandau Ballet.

The petition states:

"We, the people of Britain, feel that our current National Anthem has lost a bit of its sparkle.

"When we are confronted by the rare occasion of us winning a medal at the Olympics, we all have to mumble through "God Save The Queen", well God help us in 2012!

"We would thereby like to table the suggestion that we change the National Anthem to something more modern and appropriate and that will re-invigorate our pride.

What we specifically want to see, is that the National Anthem be changed in favour of "Gold" by Spandau Ballet."

As of publication, there were 1430 signitories and climbing.
