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.
