It is time to replace outdated tradition with a powerful symbol of modern British culture, working-class pride, and authenticity. Scrap the old hymn and give the nation an anthem it actually sings.","additional_details":"Skepta’s 'That’s Not Me' should be the national anthem because it celebrates raw authenticity, rejecting superficial status to embrace true self-reliance. Replacing centuries-old tradition with modern grime, it unites millions through genuine working-class culture, raw energy, and an unshakeable pride in identity. It represents the actual voice of today's youth, trading outdated royal hymns for a powerful anthem that reflects real life, resilience, and the relentless pulse of modern-day Britain.","committee_note":null,"state":"rejected","signature_count":6,"created_at":"2026-08-10T18:30:19.449Z","updated_at":"2026-08-28T09:39:10.857Z","rejected_at":"2026-08-28T09:39:09.334Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-08-10T18:38:10.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"This isn’t something that the UK Government or Parliament would be able to do.
