StuartO Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I watched the programme last night and some of the music was wonderful, despite the orchestra being thin on the ground for social distancing reasons - and the black Soprano was really good, as was the solo violinist (white, in a white frock) who played the Lark piece. But I don't think the BBC came out of it well with their efforts to row back on their earlier decision to abandon singing Rule Britannia, Land of Hope and Glory and Jerusalem because they gave us a soto voce rendering by a small and well spaced out group of singers who had inadequate microphone coverage so there was nothing like enough meat in their preformance. There was no soloist for Rule Britannia and the Black Soprano, who would have sung it well, wasn't included and didn't appear wearing a colourful Britania-like frock, which was a great pity. She's South African so perhaps it would have been against her principles. The final insult was for the underwhelming choir to deliver Benjamin Brittain's version of the National Anthem with a barely audible first verse and a feeble remainder. I feel that overall the BBC, if they really were trying to deliver a patriotic display, made a real mess of things. It came across as mere pretence at it.

As for the two main themes, i wonder just how many people actually know all the verses and chorus?

StuartO Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 Barryd999 - 2020-09-13 10:23 AM Did they sing "Land of hopeless Tories"? I suspect there are those among BBC staff who would love to have arranged for that to happen. But unfortunately for the BBC they are currently facing economic pressure to appeal to the paying licence-payers - and in the case of over-75s he need to persuade them to start paying for what they have hitherto been entitled to exemption. At least the new Director-General looks like he realises what he is facing and had enough sense to reign in the silly ideas some BBC staff were having about rendering the Nation's favourite classical music event into something politically correct in their eyes. The new Director-General faces a huge struggle to get rid of the BBC's deadwood before the Corporation, havng lost its proteccted annual income, ends up bankrupt.

I can't remember when the licence payment was cancelled out for over 75's but it's not so long back and i remember thinking at the time it's pretty mean spirited - i know more people that never lived to that age than i do those that are over. IIRC it was part of the 'sweetener' deal to keep state pensions down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BBC are never going to persuade people to pay the licence voluntarily. They will continue to be forced to pay it - BoJo has already made that clear, because he wants a media he can take over in wartime like Churchill did. They will probably just be starved of funds, so instead of news gathering have to just regurgitate the sh*te put out at Downing Street press briefings.

"RULE BRITANNIA Here is something you are unlikely to learn via the BBC. In the 17th century the seas around Britain were ruled by North African Muslim Slavers. They stopped British ships and carried off the crews to be sold as slaves in Algiers and Tripoli. The situation became so bad that fishermen from Devon and Cornwall wouldn’t put out to sea in case they were captured by North African Slave Traders. Between 1609 and 1616, 466 British ships were captured by Slave Traders in the English Channel, Irish Sea and North Atlantic, and the crews were sold into slavery. In 1625 a raiding party landed at Mount’s Bay in Cornwall and 60 people who had taken refuge in a local church were dragged out, loaded up and taken off to Africa to be sold as slaves. On 12 August 1625 the Mayor of Plymouth wrote to London for military help after 27 ships had been seized by North African Muslim Slave Traders in just 10 days. In 1645, 240 people were seized as slaves in Cornwall. The situation only began to change after the end of the English Civil War when the Royal Navy was built up under Oliver Cromwell. By 1700, North African Slavers generally knew better than to bother the British Isles in the search for slaves because of the Royal Navy. It was a triumph that Britain was finally able to control its own coastal waters. And it was in commemoration of this that in 1740, James Thompson wrote ‘Rule Britannia’. It is a hymn of thanksgiving rather than a proclamation of aggressive Nationalism. If you read this far and are interested to learn more, read "White Gold" by Giles Milton."

John52 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 There is quite a bit about it on the TV licence resistance forum, where I read that BoJo wants to maintain the TV licence so he can take over the BBC in the event of war. General advice is to totally ignore Capita, instead of contacting them and telling them you have no TV as advised elsewhere. its even suggested its Capita posting anonymously telling people to do that so they can get information about them on their radar. There was also an unconfirmed report that BBC share info with BT so could find out what you have been watching through your BT box. Problem is we still have to pay the BBC even if we only ever watch their competitors. There is a lot of ill feeling towards the BBC in Scotland since they stopped broadcasting Nicola Sturgeons Covid updates - she is widely trusted and her popularity has shot up to 75%. The polar opposite of BoJo. But Bojo keeps sending Scotland your money to buy votes and maintain his empire at your expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
