"this general bout of self-recrimination and wetness”

[woohoo]

It's a shame you don't want an honest discussion. I'm clearly referencing the distress (fury if you prefer) expressed by those who favour retaining the two songs in the LNOTP.

It's still not clear what is problematic. You haven't said, and you won't say. Be honest, it's just a Jobsworths Cancelling Christmas nonsense.

Who is distressed?

Who is distressed?

The people who are furious, as per the Express headline. Hard to be furious without being distressed, unless you want to be very pedantic

Now you tell me, what is the problem?

Which express headline, in this thread? If it’s in this thread I’ve missed it but you are best writing into the express to find out why the writer was distressed or even furious.

You should write to them and ask about their headline. Usually tho the headline writers are not the journalists that write the article. So they come up with clickbait. The express is terrible up there with the guardian. You should write in and express your confusion about why people are furious or distressed.

As for me i believe the bbc over reacted in a woke climate and pulled the song. After the reaction they received then came up with a bunch of excuses.

Did they pull the song or were they just discussing it?

I see the problem.

Boris Johnson isn't carrying his kid properly. The straps look very loose on that baby carrier.....

Pulling the lyrics about slaves. Too sensitive. Not like them protecting Jimmy and the Paedos in the 70s though.

So we got there in the end. Anyway, they're playing an instrumental version to an empty audience so anyone who wants to sing along at home can do so. Still unsure what the fuss is about - smacks of right-wing moral outrage to me but live and let live, eh?
