Labour’s (anti-British) “culture” minister, Margaret Hodge, has attacked Britain’s world famous Prom concerts as “one of many British cultural events that fail to engender new common values or attract more than a narrow unrepresentative audience.”

In a speech at the Labour aligned IPPR “thinktank” Hodge said that “(T)he audiences for many of our greatest cultural events - I’m thinking in particular of the Proms - is still a long way from demonstrating that people from different backgrounds feel at ease in being part of this.

“I know this is not about making every audience completely representative, but if we claim great things for our sectors in terms of their power to bring people together, then we have a right to expect they will do that wherever they can.”

Hodge, who is MP for Barking in east London, will also warn that she has seen “over and over again” the dangers of politicians failing to be seen on the side of those worried by the loss of identity.

Land of Hope and Glory, otherwise known as Edward Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstance March No 1, is a regular feature in the traditionally patriotic second half of the Last Night of the Proms. Sir Henry Wood’s 1905 Fantasia on British Sea Songs is also played. The medley of sailors’ sea shanties marks the centenary of the Battle of Trafalgar, and culminates with the Proms stalwart Rule Britannia.

The penultimate performance in the concert is a rendition of Jerusalem, with William Blake’s words set to C Hubert H Parry’s score. The Last Night of the Proms finishes the season with the orchestra and audience combining forces to sing the national anthem. In recent years Proms audiences have made a habit of going off-programme and singing Auld Lang Syne at the end of the concert.



Hodge’s attack on this uniquely British cultural festival is part of a carefully designed plan by the multi-culturalists of the far left who control the Labour Party, to ultimately destroy any last vestige of Britishness in order to pave the way for their one world vision of a world without identities, borders or distinct cultures.

In reality, they are the true enemies of diversity - because multi-culturalism kills diversity by reducing all to a common denominator. Only those who seek to preserve national identities, such as the BNP, can claim to be true champions of diversity.
