PICTURE the scene: thousands of flag-waving nationalists occupying a historic building at the heart of England’s capital. They vastly outnumber the police in the vicinity. Absolutely determined to fulfil their collective mission. To assemble, to take to their feet … and to sing along with gusto to Rule, Britannia! and Land of Hope and Glory.
I speak, of course, of the Last Night of the Proms. Surely you weren’t imagining anything more sinister? I certainly wasn’t trying to mislead you with my use of language.
