Save the Last Night of the Proms: More than 100,000 sign MailOnline petition urging the BBC to immediately reinstate Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia
100,000 people have signed the MailOnline petition urging the BBC to reverse its censorship of Land of Hope and Glory and Rule Britannia at the Last Night of the Proms.
Bosses at the broadcaster are under fire from across the political spectrum after caving in to politically-correct critics who are offended by the much-loved anthems – because they are ‘racist’.
MailOnline has launched a petition that will be sent to Director General Lord Hall calling on him to reinstate the singing of both songs with immediate effect.
As it stands, the patriotic songs will be played by an orchestra only on September 12 – supposedly because the lack of an audience will diminish their impact.
But with singers still performing God Save the Queen and Jerusalem, there is no justification for the ban.
You can sign the petition by filling in the form below.
