Rejected petition Change our National Anthem to the Benny Hill Theme Tune

We want a new and more apt National Anthem. We want the government to step in and introduce a new very British anthem. Our National treasure Benny Hill can lead the way. His jolly theme tune would be so much more appropriate.

More details

To acknowledge the voice of the people and give us a more suitable and suitably uplifting National Anthem to be proud of.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This isn’t something that the UK Government or Parliament would be able to do. The use of the present National Anthem is a matter of tradition rather than having any legal or constitutional status.

You can find more information about the history and status of the national anthem here:
