Well if it was scheduled to have not been part of the Proms until the backlash then it would have happened without the backlash.
I don’t watch it so wouldn’t have made much difference to me but it does mean it was a legitimate point.
The Guardian, shock, was running a story just before it about how Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia are rooted in racism and slavery and should be dropped or had the name changed.
From my view there’s two minority groups on either side stirring this, on left and right. The left side writes crap like the above and the right pretends it’s a bigger issue than the other more serious issues like Covid (at the time) or the cost of living crisis now.
