You will have noticed that Boris Badenough has nothing better to do than have a rant about Rule Britannia being on the BBC last night of the proms. Covid-19 deaths have reached 41, 514 and of course some ancient piece of jingoistic claptrap is more important ... but not in this century.
The rant was on the lines of ""I think it's time we stopped our cringing embarrassment about our history, about our traditions, and about our culture, and we stopped this general bout of self-recrimination and wetness." Apart from the fact that Adolf Hitler used similar words, this is completely irrelevant for a country facing a major health emergency.
Boris has the support of the gutter press of course and they think this tripe will divert the public from the real issues.
There will be a reckoning with this Eton Mess of a government and no amount of sentimental flannel will preserve them.
