Ensure the BBC plays Rule Britannia and Land of Hope And Glory at The Proms
The BBC’s proposed action insults the memory,and Makes a mockery of all the deaths of thousands uponThousands of our men and women who fought And died in two World Wars to retain freedom for both this Country and the World. The BBCs intents and actions make a mockery of their sacrifice.
These songs are NOT racist they are traditional songs much loved by British people and Land of Hope and Glory was the song sung by the Far East POWs as their alternative National Anthem When they were banned from singing, on pain of death by beheading, our actual National Anthem. What an insult to their memory by the BBC in their flirtation with reverse racism And attempt to rewrite our history
