I agree, but in principle I do not believe that any viewpoint should be cancelled or ignored. I'm kind of libertarian. Everyone should be free to express themselves and do their own thing (within the laws of the relevant district of course).
 
Heh, source within the BBC described this years Proms as the "Black Lives Matter Proms", and so they went out of their way to find conductors (etc) who were sympathetic with/involved with BLM.

And a lot of these people want all the songs like Land Of Hope And Glory, Rule Brittania to be banned permanently, stating that they are remnants of Empire and "embarrassing".

The BBC is so far up its own SJW arse it can suck its own tonsils.

TBH, it's time to boycott the whole BBC. It's (genuine) quality output has diminished to insignificance, and it's mostly churning out **** these days.

I don't want to be forced to pay for a BBC that is basically the propaganda arm for the SJW loonies.
 
Airing Now: BBC News airing a special programme about how the Empire is keeping minorities suppressed.

yes - seemed just part of the required BBC diversity output - the USA professor saying uk(empire) shared responsibility for the current usa situation, was a new angle,
also the narrative that wind-rush immigration was solely for the benefit of the uk re-building after war as opposed to being of mutual benefit and providing an enhanced lifestyle.

Heavily advertised, another, unique problem for ethnic communities

Like many young black people, Lucrece Grehoua is an expert in code-switching - used to changing her voice, accent and mannerisms when she enters white-majority spaces. But should she really have to? In this programme, Lucrece reveals the cost of hiding who we really are in the workplace and explores the mechanics of code-switching, a term first used to describe the experience of African-American students in the 1970s. She shares her own story of being taught to become “a palatable black girl with a soft voice and an unceasing smile”. And she talks to other young professionals about the steps they’ve taken to fit in – from switching to a “white voice” in the office to changing how they dress, what they talk about and how they style their hair. We also hear from those who, tired of code-switching, are daring to be themselves in the corporate world.

I'm sure folks with regional accents, coming to the paved streets, had same issue.


They did have an interesting modern slavery programme , proposing that zero hour contracts were placing people in same inescapable situation as 60's

Yes it was quite humorous seeing all the blue bonnets with their yellow stars singing Rule Britannia and waving their flags. It did not really come across as them genuinely having fun just being faintly ridiculous.

Now Auntie Beeb in her infinite wisdom is using cancel culture to decide that the Henry Wood Promenade concerts will be politically correct in her image. I do not expect many promenaders would have turned out even if allowed to this year to listen to the castrated output. So farewell Henry Woods last night of the Proms.

Yes apparently it is reactionary stuff and they seem to be having fun.

Even the German and American conductors and guest soloists seem to get the Britishness of the situation and plunge right in.

Sadly it seems that any benefit they got was a side effect rather than being one of the aims of it.
Calling it immigration seems wrong to me more like temporary labour, if the county wanted them to stay they should have been offered British nationality after 5 years not kicked out decades later.
 
Same year as Mick Hucknall did too.

Edit:
So I browsed through and there have been LOADS over the years - It has only been controversial recently due to the allowance of vocal idiots caused by the biggest detriment to humanity in modern society, twitter.

I'm surprised the Twitter idiots haven't had a go at Reggae/Ska bands with white band members/front men yet tbh.

We should really be looking at corporate involvement in these kind of movements, groups like BLM and the 'woke' brigade pretend to be "fighting the system" and yet they have the most powerful entities on the planet (corporations like the BBC/social media giants etc) fighting their corner and in a lot of cases leading the way. It's like cancel culture, censorship and firing people from jobs wouldn't be possible if corporations just stood up and defended the right of employees to have their own individual opinions (like they do in cases where radical leftists post about hating white people) but they are the ones who have actively encouraged the Facebook/Twitter lynch mobs and are now enforcing it all. All the BBC have to do is stand up in support of traditional British songs and most of the country will be on their side, instead they side with the minority of lunatics.

There was a story in the DM earlier about today's youth finding the full stop too abrupt or some such nonsense, will the BBC start writing articles without them then or is erasing the full stop from history just not part of their anti-nation state/pro-EU agenda?

We had corporations screaming for 3 years about a Russia collusion conspiracy involving Russia interference in the 2016 elections which undermined the US government and was later found to be total bunk and now we have corporations actively meddling in the 2020 elections through censorship and (once again) favouring a single party and ideology. What's the difference really between a foreign power and multi-national corporations owned by private entities? you can point to one of them on a map?

The BBC should really identify just who is paying the licence fee and I bet it is mostly the 40+ to 75 year old segment of the population.

In terms of lyrics I bet that Rule Brittania written in the 18th century has less racist, mysogynistic, hateful, violent lyrics than many rap or grime tracks, playable today. In fact in comparison with the lyrics of the french national anthem it appears benign. Imagine the BBC refusing to play that.

The BBC will do what it wants no doubt but it could alienate the very people who are paying their inflated salaries in doing so.
