The Proms Are Double-Plus Ungood

Margaret Hodge, the "culture" minister, claims that the Proms are inappropriate as they are thoughtcrime do not promote "new British values."

So, flag-waving; patriotism; singing "Jerusalem", "Land of Hope and Glory", or "Rule Britannia"; or even innocent enjoyment will no longer be allowed in New Labour's glorious utopia.



No doubt this sort of thing is more what she has in mind.

Thaxted is great; well, the Jupiter movement is awesome, anyway.

And the proms are more than representative! They're a tradition! Like roast dinners, queuing and beer-induced casual violence!
