BBC - the "last straw".

[essgee]

When will the BBC learn, now they are thinking of changing "The Last Night of the Proms" around. If they do get rid of the good old sing-song, then they really have lost the plot, the "wokists" have won.

****ing hell mate, give it a rest. Have a nice soothing herb tea or summat, before you blow a gasket.

Watch it mate you can go to jail for that kind of thing these days.

Brilliant news, getting rid of all that jingoistic crap is long overdue. It has no place at a music event.

Another gammon takes the bait.


Try researching the real reason they may drop it.

in any case how do you do a sing song in an empty auditorium?

No you don’t.
Unless you are at sea.

Chinese stir fry chefs are now deciding Proms content? Unacceptable!

Thinking about it, woke can be a bad thing.

I got up at 5am, and will need a nap to get through the afternoon. Does that make me a napist?

Half of all DM and Telegraph readers are going to explode with outrage, it will be better than new years eve fireworks, I am off to buy popcorn.

Used to amuse me how the Prommers got back at the Gammon by having lots of European flags at the last night. Musicians are typically much more international in outlook.

I always found it most amusing that the BBC split the Last Night into two parts; the sensible bit where they play a proper symphony or whatever went out on either BBC2 or BBC4, and then all the drunken UKIP flag-waving toffery went out on BBC1. I never once bothered channel hopping.

FWIW I’m a big fan of the Proms. I even went to some of the sensible bits when I lived in That London and could be bothered standing up for that long, but never the last night. Some things just don’t appeal. To be honest I just don’t like ‘light’ music of any kind be it nationalist or not.

PS I remember hearing about the EU flags, that was genius. Classical music folk tend to be decent folk IME.

 

[narabdela]

The usual 'Daily Mail' bollocks. Why do we even bother to discuss this sort of nonsense?

Small tiny Union Jack flags? Got that covered....
