    Gammons outraged over last night of the proms betrayal

    https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/10...sh-brexit-news

    It just shows that educated people voted remain.
    I switched to xfactor for a few minutes during that evening and saw all the gammons enjoy their low class entertainment, quickly switched back to the proms.

    It did seem a little odd seeing people waving EU flags whist singing such nationalist songs such as 'Rule Britannia' and 'Land of Hope and Glory'. Did they actually listen to the word they were singing?

      Last night of the Proms:
      Overture 'Neues vom Tage' - Paul Hindemith (German)
      Lelio - Fantasy on Shakespeare's 'The Tempest' - Hector Berlioz (French)
      Songs of Darkness, Dreams of Light - Roxanna Panufnik (Polish migrant, according to Brexit rules)
      Songs of the Sea, The Bluebird - Charles Villiers Stanford (Irish)
      Blest Pair of Sirens - Hubert Parry (British)
      Suite algérienne, Op 60 - Camille Saint‐Saëns (French)
      Scaramouche - Darius Milhaud (French)
      Carousel – 'Soliloquy' - Richard Rodgers (USA)
      Fantasia on British Sea-Songs - Henry Wood (British)
      Rule, Britannia! (arr. Sargent) - Thomas Arne (British)
      Pomp and Circumstance March No 1 in D major, 'Land of Hope and Glory' - Edward Elgar (British)
      Jerusalem (orch. Elgar) - Hubert Parry (British)
      The National Anthem (arr. Britten)
      Auld Lang Syne

      Of course, if we look at the rest of the proms 2018, they featured a whole variety of composers, it's not just British composers, never has been https://www.bbc.co.uk/events/rxfhzc/composers/by/a-z
      But of course gammonflakes like to get outraged, so the Promenade Concerts are probably not for them
      …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        You left out "Jerusalem" - you know the one about questioning whether a middle eastern man came to England, but whether he did or not, the hope of the words is that England becomes like a middle eastern city.

          So firstly this thread is racist because it is using someones skin tone as a way to stereotype a group of people.

          Secondly I do not think anyone really gets upset that the proms has music from composers not from the Uk.

          So really it is about a group of ****wits waving EU flags whilst singing songs about England and the UK being great.

          Isn't that right ma n****'s lets get some fried chicken and grape juice.

              Thanks for that I forgot about Jerusalem in my original list, not to mention the National Anthem. Two more Nationalist pieces sung by people waving EU flags. Very Odd.

                1. Gammon isn't a race.
                2. If no one is getting upset about where music comes from, why is your blood pressure (and that of the Express) rising because of flags?
                3. When you get your way and we have left the EU, should all music that comes from EU countries be banned to?

                  Funny. I know a few non-whites (whatever that means) who are most definitely gammons - getting red in the face about immigration, PC gone mad and Europe.
                  Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

                    Only Gammons think it is. Not all white people are gammons. No Gammon has ever selected 'White/Gammon' as an option in ethnicity forms. Importantly though, not all Leave voters are Gammons, although all Gammons are Leave voters.
