The Proms attract too narrow a section of society, culture minister Margaret Hodge has suggested in a speech.
She praised "icons of a common culture" from Coronation Street to the Angel of the North and said culture could "enhance a sense of shared identity".
But the Proms was one of several major cultural events many people did not feel comfortable attending, she said.
Well that's her problem, maybe she would be happier with some ethnic steel bands attending. Then again this is the vile woman who was accused of ignoring child abuse when she was head of Islington council.

Mrs Hodge said she would like to "apologise unreservedly" to Demetrious Panton for the description.
She had made the remarks in a letter of complaint to the BBC about an inquiry into a child abuse scandal in London's Islington where she was council leader.
But Mr Panton said Mrs Hodge should "do the decent thing" and resign. The Conservatives also said she should go....
"I wish you all the best for the future and am genuinely sorry to have contributed to your suffering," the minister added.
Mrs Hodge led Islington Council from 1982 to 1992, when it emerged that children in the council's care had been abused.
She has been accused of failing to act, despite receiving warnings - an allegation she denies.
An amoral pc whore then and the same now. A typical example of communist New Labour party members in action.
