According to the Express, Johnson said:
I was going to tweet about this. I just want to say and they're trying to restrain me from saying this but if it is correct which I cannot believe it really is.
"If it is correct that the BBC is saying that they will not sing the words of Land of Hope and Glory and Rule, Britannia! as they traditionally do at the end of Last Night of the Proms.
"I think it's time we stopped our cringing embarrassment about our history, about our traditions, about our culture and we stop this general bout of self-recrimination and wetness.
"I wanted to get that off my chest.Comment

Originally posted by woohoo View PostOf course you can sing it with a singer. Just balls from the bbc to cover up their stupidity.
It doesn't make sense to make a statement about slavery by actually publically saying the reason for not singing it is there is no choir.
If you want to make a "woke" statement then you make a "woke" statement.I'm alright JackComment
