NEW: No.10 signals that @BorisJohnson would not be happy with any move to ban Rule Britannia from Last Night of the Proms.
Spokesman says he& #39;s made clear that while there may be & #39;strong emotions& #39; on such issues & #39;we need to tackle the substance of the issues not the symbols& #39;

Here& #39;s the details: https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/boris-johnson-last-night-of-the-proms-rule-britannia_uk_5f43a9cbc5b697824f9b3a1e?8ts">https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/bor...

Now @OliverDowden has gone even further, praising Rule Britannia as a & #39;highlight& #39; of the Last Night and declaring "Confident forward-looking nations don’t erase their history, they add to it" https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/boris-johnson-last-night-of-the-proms-rule-britannia_uk_5f43a9cbc5b697824f9b3a1e?wdu">https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/bor...

And....the wheel comes full circle.

So, has the BBC caved to govt pressure?
Or was govt reacting to something that was unlikely to happen anyway? https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/bbc-last-night-of-proms-rule-britannia_uk_5f4407c7c5b6c00d03b27bc1?4w">https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/bbc...
