Word is tweeting out that the BBC has booked a German soloist for Last Night of the Proms.

No problem with that, until you get to the last number but one.

Not so much *how do you sing Rule, Britannia in German, as how does a German give credence to British rule?

Think of all those Unions Jacks.

Think what Angela Merkel will make of it.

Heavens above, she might even turn up.
