A couple of things:
1) The headlines on the BBC webpage are driven by popularity. Not many people click on it: it disappears off the frontpage, but it'll still be on the News page for the area it happened.
2) The Last Night of the Proms thing is fucking hilarious. Seen Last Night of the Proms for Rule Britannia? The amazing rousing bit where the orchestra and choir are joined by all the thousands of people crammed into the... oh shit yeah; there won't be a crowd because of COVID.
So the suggestion was to do something different this year to stop the pathetic sight of about ten people trying to do the singing of a couple thousand. The private press (who obviously hate the BBC being publicly funded) jump all over it for a day before the BBC confirm that the bit is happening anyway, but too late and we're still all arguing about it now and talking about the horrible anti-British BBC and we should definitely defund it so the only news we can get comes from Rupert fucking Murdoch who loves us all and only wants the best for us.
