Well thought out argument :joker:

...is that just recent...inhaling and exhaling more deeply because of the singing and so close to each other..?...

can twitter pls give Farage a ban for provoking hatred

Yes x

We sing Rule Britannia at every Rangers game

No

Typical tabloid bait and the gullible right wing eat it right up. It's sad how easy it is to send the Right Wing into a frenzy, no critical thought there at all.

...of course...it was always said that the decisions about changes this year were adaptions for COVID and all musicians were part of of those decisions...but the media leads another slant to focus on...sadly, Dalia Stasevska has had much online abuse/insults because of it...

the Finnish conductor at the forefront of calls to ban the anthems Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory from this year's Last Night of the Proms has pledged support for Black Lives Matter and is married to a rock star, it emerged today.

Dalia Stasevska is preparing for the biggest night of her career on September 12 when she conducts the BBC Symphony Orchestra at London's Royal Albert Hall.

But preparations for the concert have been overshadowed by a huge row over proposals to drop Rule Britannia and Land of Hope and Glory from the evening.

This year's conductor Miss Stasevska, 35, from Finland, is said to be keen to modernise the evening's repertoire and reduce its patriotic elements.

A BBC source told the Sunday Times: 'Dalia is a big supporter of Black Lives Matter and thinks a ceremony without an audience is the perfect moment to bring change.'

She has also spoken out in praise of Democrat US politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:UMM2: and once retweeted a Time magazine front cover about Greta Thunberg.

the lady is conductor is white

:facepalm:

Well said boris..and very brave and honest to ignore the people not wanting him to discuss the matter.

I'm seeing a lot of frenzied posts in here by folk attacking the right and anyone remotely connected ...nothing of what you describe though...I have seen a lot of prom viewers disgusted though.

The BBC must not take sides in political matters...pandering to this morons wishes is taking sides on political matters.

If it's even true that is which I doubt it is

BBC Songs of Praise producer compares Rule Britannia to Nazis
singing about how they 'will never be forced into a gas chamber'


An Executive Producer for the BBC's Songs of Praise has compared singing
Rule Britannia to Nazis singing about gas chambers.


Cat Lewis, who is also CEO of television production company Nine Lives
Media, weighed in on the controversy surrounding the BBC's decision to drop
the singing of patriotic anthems from the Last Night of the Proms.


Critics have claimed the songs were 'racist', and now Ms Lewis, a self-
described 'campaigner for a better world', has blasted the centuries-old Rule
Britannia.


She tweeted: 'Do those Brits who believe it's OK to sing an 18th Century
song about never being enslaved, written when the UK was enslaving and
killing millions of innocents, also believe it's appropriate for neo-Nazis to
shout, ''We will never be forced into a gas chamber.'' '
