      The beauty of the last night of the Proms is that, although the revisionist, woke left whines about it being jingoistic and white supremacist, you will see the flags of many nations being waved. Including many that we've fired the occasional angry shot at. I don't think you'll see such a spontaneous display of tolerance anywhere else. Long may it continue.
