BBC blasted as Proms ‘hijacked’ by ‘seething mass of remainers’ with EU flags

The BBC has come underneath fireplace after a “seething mass of remainers” that “hijacked” Rule Britannia had been proven waving EU flags throughout its Last Night of the Proms protection.

The protection – which featured footage of the gang waving of EU flags in the course of the conventional performances of patriotic anthems Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory – has been blasted as “disgraceful” and “nauseatingly woke”.

It so angered one former Tory MP that he’s demanding a BBC investigation into the incident.

A van load of EU flags had been handed out to concertgoers by a gaggle of remainers exterior the Royal Albert Hall. On X, the social media platform previously often called Twitter, the EU Flags Team mentioned the flags had been given out “in assist of Brexit impacted musicians”.

A latest survey discovered that just about a 3rd of musicians declare their earnings had been affected by Brexit. Singer Katie Melua has claimed the price of touring the EU has risen by as much as 30% for the reason that UK left the bloc.

However, the show has infuriated some patriotic Brexiteers. On X, former Conservative MP Harvey Proctor fumed: “BBC should examine how so many EU flags had been waved & on show at The Last Night of the Proms.

“Disgraceful & misguided BBC messing up a British custom; a political gesture which might make Sir Henry Wood flip in his grave. Utterly vulgar & incorrect. Rule Britannia, not Rule EU!”

In a later tweet, he wrote: “The BBC is passing the buck by blaming the Royal Albert Hall. The BBC organised the occasion. The BBC televised the occasion. The BBC is in the end accountable for permitting it to grow to be a prime-time political broadcast on behalf of the EU.”

Also on X, Andy Knight – whose bio describes himself as “simply the type of one who is hated by the BBC” – said: “It has been the plan of the BBC for a few years to make Last Night of the Proms so nauseatingly woke that those that would need to watch it boycott it in disgust, resulting in the occasion’s abolition. Only Union Flags and the nationwide flags of the 4 UK nations ought to be allowed.”

It comes simply days after Conservative peer Lord Frost questioned whether “high culture is safe” in the hands of the BBC, claiming the broadcaster didn’t just like the Proms “in any respect”‘

However, the BBC has defended its broadcast. When requested if it had taken steps to minimise the protection of the flags, a spokesperson advised one nationwide newspaper: “Audiences select to deliver their very own flags and the Royal Albert Hall specifies measurement limitations inside tips for security causes.” 

Talk TV editor Isabel Oakeshott tweeted: “The Last Night of the Proms appears to be a seething mass of Remainers. Can’t wait for Rule Britannia.” When the EU flags continued to enthusiastically waved by the patriotic anthem, She tweeted: “Britons never ever shall be slaves.….there’s no going back, Remainers!”

And Matron Jan raged: “What the **** is it with EU flags at Last Night of the Proms for Land of Hope and Glory. It’s a BRITISH institution. That many believe should be our National Anthem. Absolute disgrace.”

However, the stunt has delighted some remainers. Nick Tyrone tweeted: “If a noticeable number of people wave EU flags on the last night of the proms, it might possibly indicate a reasonable and growing support amongst the British people for rejoining the European Union – and Brexiters will have to get used to that.”

And Gavin Marshall mentioned: “Getting ****loads of EU flags into Royal Albert Hall for Last Night of the Proms is the best marketing activation of the decade. Gongs all round for all concerned.”
