the BBC is dropping the lyrics to "rule britannia" at the last night of the proms
the right is yelling about it being because the song sounds colonial as fuck and that people "shouldn't be ashamed of our glorious history of empire" and "the left just don't want us to have this"
the actual reason it's being dropped is the fact that a dozen people singing it in an otherwise empty albert hall will sound at best depressing, at worst just shit
