i know the sewers dont work anymore but will someone please think of the children
I can hope any investigation by the BBC goes “they brought EU flags in, they waved them. Recommendations - none.”
Recommendations - Brexiters get a fucking grip.
Oh, those little snowflakes. Poor things. Do they need to retreat to their safe space? What about a kiss on their boo-boos? Never mind those bad pro human rights, pro equality, pro EU people can’t hurt you.
The spectacle of so many EU flags being waved as the hall belted out Rule, Britannia! provoked disgust from leading Eurosceptics.
Harvey Proctor, a former Conservative MP, said it was a “disgraceful” display and called for an inquiry by the BBC, which organises and broadcasts the Proms.
Well look who crawled out of the woodwork!
They’ll properly soil themselves when they find out that Jerusalem isn’t as patriotic as they think it is.
The idea of an “inquiry” for this is so utterly hilarious. What is he expecting it to find? That leaving the EU was a disastrously unpopular decision and that anyone can wave a flag?
Also, they view Rule, Britannia as a modern, relevant, unironic thing? I see that as the British equivalent to when Americans are like “MURICA, fuck yeah, guns and lifted trucks and bald eagles and worshipping the founding fathers!” Which is to say, incredibly cringy.
The weird thing is - there have been loads of EU flags for years.
Europeans flying the flag of Europe.
Hasn’t this happened every proms since brexit anyway?
Yes but the Brexiters are so full of shit that they have to shit themselves regularly to avoid serious medical complications.
its been on a break since covid and the queens death. I think 3 proms cancelled. This is the first one back and i guess since we officially left
Imagine being this upset about a flag. And also going to the lengths of organising a campaign to wave flags just to get a headline in the guardian. 🤣😂😂🤣
What a complete non story.
“Unlike you snowflakes, I’m difficult to offend.”
“Also, any time someone disagrees with Tories it makes national news, like the time we whined about being called gammons, despite the fact we wear that label proudly.”
Who are you quoting?
What are “the proms”?
Freeconcert series held across the UK.They’re not free.
That’s a shame. You’d think at least the ones held in public spaces would be free. Especially since they are sponsored by the BBC.
They are organised and paid for by the BBC. They are excellent and good value for money.
i highly recommend Holst’s Planets, they play some every year. If you like science fiction films youll no doubt hear a million john williams or hans zimmer melodies

Pish.
Saw an article by David Frost in the Torygraph earlier. I genuinely can’t imagine having the energy to get so irate for money about such inane shit.
It’s basic outrage porn that they write to a deadline, for money
Educated people know you can get information from a search engine these days. Knucledraggers need to be told how to feel about that information. This is where tabloids found their market.
I half hoped this was the literal title of the article.
I half hoped the title accurately described events.
Nile Gardiner, a former aide to Margaret Thatcher and a contributor to the Daily Telegraph, posted: “Rule Britannia represents freedom, sovereignty, and self-determination."
Rule Britannia is a song about British supremacy in global imperialism but that melted brain ghoul worshipping fucking idiot would never grasp that.
why are they so mad we did the thing they wanted
We’re dealing with spoiled manchildren that never got told ‘no’ in their lives, and probably never will.
It’s not enough that they always get everything they want as always, but it’s unforgivable some people entertain the idea they’re wrong at all. This is why non-CHUDs just existing irks them so much.
“If they’re right, what does that say about me? Oh no, I’m a bad person, well fuck them! I’m better than them and they should know it! Fuck you for making me think!”
Federasts “protesting” at the proms, I can’t think of a more petite bourgeois thing.
And it’s not the “EU flag”, there’s no such thing, it’s the flag of Europe.
what the fuck is a federast? are you comparing these people to peadophiles/pederasts?
One who is drawn towards a immature federation.
The link you provided does explain it. I don’t think calling them peadophiles is much of a contribution mate but that’s entirely up to you
