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.

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.

SO this extreme leftist from FInland is trying to change the GBP's Prom?

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.'' '
