If you live in the UK then unless you’ve been sat in a hole for the past few weeks you’ll have been sent, umpteen times, a link to sign up to a petition telling The Government to stop being silly about tracking our cars blah, blah, blah.
I have not bothered signing because IMO it’s such a ridiculous and doomed to fail idea that’ll it never fly - how many gov ‘IT’ projects go tits up? - plus it’s not like they can’t already track us by our mobile phones.
Anyhoo, I recently became aware of a much worthier petition:
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.
Further, we would like our National Olympic Committee to decree that Tony Hadley is the only person permitted to handle medal ceremonies where the National Anthem is played.
We don’t mind what he wears when he does this, but preference is given towards a a gold colured suit.
Sincerely,
I urge you to make your voice heard:
