BBC verdict, reversed the decision not to keep Britannia! Sung on the last night of Proms and Land of Hope and Glory.

The novel was sharply criticized by the news that these songs were being omitted due to its association with colonialism and slavery.

Last week, the BBC said the decision to perform only orchestral versions was encouraged by the Kovid-19 ban.

However, a group of “selected” singers will now serve the songs above all else.

The BBC said in a new statement: “The epidemic means a different premise this year and one consequence of this, under the Covid-19 restrictions, is that we cannot bring together the voices that have spread together,” the BBC said in a new statement.

“That’s why we made the artistic decision to sing Rule, Britannia! And Holland of Hope and Glory.”

However, the statement went on to say that the BBC had worked hard to find a “solution” to the issue.

“Both pieces will now include a select group of BBC singers. This means the word will be sung in words, and we have always made it clear that listeners can sing at home.”

In The First Night of Proms, 18 social-distance members of the BBC singers performed with the orchestra on stage in the otherwise empty stalls at the Royal Albert Hall.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s initial decision to play the BBC’s original instruments on 12 September’s Last Night encouraged him to intervene.

“I can’t believe … that the BBC is saying that they will not sing the words Land of Hope and Glory or Rule Britannia! As they did at the end of The Primus of the Last Night last night,” he told reporters last week. .

“I think this is the time we put an end to our shrinking embarrassment about our history, our traditions and our culture and put an end to this common struggle for self-determination and humidity.”

Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden says: “Confident pioneer countries don’t erase their history, they add to it.”

‘Tensions of national embarrassment’

On Wednesday, a spokesman for the No. 10 said the prime minister had “welcomed the backtrack” decision.

Speaking to Conservative MPs, Mr Johnson said: “I think this country is going through a period of national embarrassment over some of the things that other people around the world love most about us.

“People love our traditions and our history with all its imperfections. It’s crazy for us to try to censor it. It’s totally unreasonable and I think we need to speak out loud and proud for the United Kingdom and our history.”

Mr Dowden also responded.

A spokesman for Labor leader Sir Care Starmer called it a “right decision”, but added: “Enjoying patriotic songs does not and should not be an obstacle to verifying our past and learning from it.”

Last week, the BBC reported that the move to remove the lyrics had resulted in fewer performers appearing on stage due to social distance rules so that the songs would be served as usual next year, the corporation promised.

Outgoing Director General Tony Hall defended the “creative decision” reached, but acknowledged that the question of omitting the song was discussed. Lord Hall handed over the new director general to Tim Davy on Tuesday.

Among those arguing that songs like Land of Hope and Glory should not be performed included Chi-Chi Nawanoku, who runs the sugar! Orchestra, which was served at the Proms in 2017 and 2019.

He told the BBC: “We find this offensive. For any conscious black person who is aware of their history, empire and colonialism, for example, they will struggle to enjoy the patriotic Zingism of this song.”

Broadcaster and quartermaster Gareth Malone further commented that the music is outdated, and tweeted: “Rules when going to Britannia!”
