Patriotic songs: culture and tradition matter too....

I am appalled at the BBC's latest concession to the vocal liberal minority: dropping the two usual (somewhat archaic and 'corny') British patriotic songs at the climax of a long-established and much-loved music festival. This is an outrageous surrender to the internationalists who want to establish a global monoculture. I can just imagine the reaction in Germany or France if their anthems were banned in similar circumstances.

I suppose we'll eventually arrive at completely inoffensive anthems, such as that suggested by the Python Crew for Australia:

This here's the Wattle, the emblem of our land 
You can stick it in a bottle, or hold it in yer hand

Update: In a typically pathetic response (pretending the decision had nothing to do with the immense public outcry) the BBC have restored the two items, but have still eliminated the usual female alto vocalist. I bet you the various outdoor broadcasts (hurricanes permitting!) will end in roof-lifting vocal participation!
