    This year I only went to the Proms once. I am not exactly sure that I expected a prom of Marvin Gaye music or Disney. And however much the world might miss Dolly, I understand she wasn’t forgotten on the Last Night.

    In my youth I would get a season ticket. I went every night. Sometimes I liked the music, and sometimes I didn’t. I found I quite liked Wagner and even Stravinsky neither of whom fitted in with the early music I still enjoy to this day.
    I didn’t see anybody in the audience in 2026 who wasn’t white, maybe the ethnic minorities were at the Marvin Gaye, but then it wasn’t stretching their interests.
    And I do miss there no longer being a Gilbert and Sullivan night.

    My second post isn’t BBC. I know that the assisted suicide bill had supporters for and against which didn’t follow political allegiance.

    As I switched on GBNews this evening, I heard Rabbi Jonathan Romain on Free Speech National. What I heard him say made my blood run cold. It was his certainty that we haven’t heard the last of the determination for the bill to come before Parliament again. Whatever your view of assisted killing (my observation is that whatever safeguards are introduced the bar for killing gets lowered very quickly), it is the Left that never accepts a majority view if it doesn’t fit their agenda).

    I’ve watched Morrisons getting destroyed by a hedge fund… Carrots and bean counters.
