Thread Name: Last Night of the Proms
Subject: RE: Last Night of the Proms
Well I enjoyed it, I took it at face value and consider it an annual spectacular, and a tradition worth preserving. Im afraid that I find the wringing of hands, stabbings of conscience, and regrets for the wrongs of our forefathers somewhat comical. We all have done things we later regretted, but expecting todays Brits to apologise for the occupation of India, etc.etc. sounds a bit like seeking absolution for someone elses sins. I'm afraid that too many people have too much leisure time. I detect a severe case of terminal angst.
Giok
