The original comment was :
"The patriotic song Land of Hope and Glory won't be sung because there is no choir, the conductor Dalia Stasevska is from Finland"
This went through various channels and after the independent investigative journalist Nigel Farage gave the story to the Times it was:
"The conductor Dalia Stasevska has banned the singing of Land of Hope Glory because it's patriotic, she should bog off back to Finland"

Lets face it, it's all about being able to tell a foreigner to go back to "bongo-bongo" land.

The problem is no-one can find anyone who actually contradicts what the BBC said, that they're not singing it because of social distancing.

Did the Times quote Stasevska, or quote an anonymous BBC source making claims about Stasevska's beliefs?
Sounds like you've fallen for a Eurocrat Jobsworths Cancel Christmas type story. LNOTP kerfuffle seems to land in the news every year.

Dalia Stasevska, who has the honour of being this year’s Last Night conductor, is said to be keen to ‘modernise’ the repertoire.
Miss Stasevska, from Finland, is reported to believe that the absence of an audience is the ideal time to drag the Proms screaming and kicking into the Summer of Stupidity
‘Dalia is a big supporter of Black Lives Matter and thinks this is the perfect moment to bring change,’ a BBC source said.

Stasevska says she has played no part in deciding the traditional elements of the programme, and has been “wrongly portrayed as a person who tried to influence political debates – this is not true” she states. She is currently the Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, and will be the Chief Conductor of the Lahti Symphony Orchestra for the 2021-2022 season.

You're the 'target' as you started the thread about the Beeb not including the songs, and linking it somehow to lefty luvvies, although how you made that link I have no idea. Not my fault mate that you fall for the stories spouted by the right wing media
You really must learn to read properly, not just the start, the end and then make tulip up in the middle.

Let's be clear here, Far Left and Far Right are extremist views and not generally the same as those held by moderates. Both extremes are idiots to be called out when they raise their stupid views.
