In a not-exactly-shocking turn of events, Nigel Farage isn’t happy about the BBC’s decision to feature Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory as instrumental versions at the Last Night of the Proms.

This was his reaction.

To be clear – there will be no audience in the Royal Albert Hall and nobody is trying to stop people from singing in their homes, apart from – perhaps – those who live with them.

I can tell you, because I researched it, that Nigel Farage has no interest in music whatsoever and I doubt he's ever been to a prom let alone watched one on tv. https://t.co/EgkZAkFbmV
