After watching the BBC’s “Last Night at the Proms”, I was filled with an immense sense of pride. Proud to be English – at the same time, British. I witnessed live, a coming together of the British nation. Everyone was so happy in the Royal Albert Hall, particularly the Finnish conductor Sakari Oramo! There was an atmosphere of ‘Britishness’. Four nations together. Is all of this “togetherness” going to be spoilt by one person’s ego? No, I don’t think so!

The Britain of today, the United Kingdom, after all, is a Land of Hope and Glory, Mother of the free! We are free. We should not be mesmerized by one person filled with his own self-importance North of the Border. Andrew Marr’s The Politics Show, is an excellent example of Britishness. Let us hope that common sense reigns and we still remain a Land of Hope and Glory after Thursday 18th September 2014. And thanks to my Scottish friends for helping out on occasions!
