    That's how these Culture Warriors think.

      Cut 'n' paste, innit....

      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

            Tired old moaning, typical.

            People, organisations and government can do than more one thing at a time you know.

            So he can have a go at the wet culture we have whilst also running a government.

              The reason why they're not singing Land of Hope and Glory is because there will be no choir and no audience.

              But made a great story....

              I'm alright Jack

                The real wet culture is the hand-wringing and moaning because some people said something you don't like about some songs you do like. It's a very un-British hysterical over-reaction - a sad decline in the Great British stiff upper lip.

                  Yet they are managing to have someone sing you will never walk alone and another song.

                      Don't be silly. I know what you're up to.

                      Why don't you tell us who said or did what that has caused such upset around the Last Night of the Proms. There's a lot of wailing, but what's the actual story?
