Singer asked to change 'pro-EU' dress

An opera singer was asked to change her EU flag themed dress for a concert at London's Royal Albert Hall. British soprano Anna Patalong sang in six performances of the Classical Spectacular concert from 21 to 24 March.

Oh this story again yawn

So she should ,she is here to sing not dictate to the 17 million of us that voted out

marionste 'encouraged' Uh-Huh

How ridiculous. I wouldn't have read anymore into that, other than it's a lovely dress

BBCPolitics Banter

Don't buy her tickets and she will soon perform her bra and knickers

Oh look another middle class EU loving elitist having her non-story covered by BBC

And this is how the BBC now does it.

I would not have noticed

That is censorship and it's wrong

Its a sight anyway

Good

Load of St. Rollox.

RAH gets heavy on singer telling her to wear red not yellow and blue imagine if a complaint had gone in about red being the signature colour for socialism. I thought people went to concerts to hear the singers not for fashion notes.

Bloody hell even dresses are signing the petition now. Seriously this is PC gone do-la-lally

BBCPolitics She should refuse to sing.

BBCPolitics Quite right too

So the people didn’t go to hear her sing then? This is Britain - this sort of humour is what we do best.

Disturbing and illiberal.

Says the BBC who demanded that nobody wave EU flags at Eurovision event...

BBCPolitics I'm a ardent Brexiteer but I'm not petty enough to condone a silly request like that. It's a very nice dress.

It's easy to bait fools.

Oh no, a lady put on a yellow and blue dress! Quickly, make it sound like a Brexit thing to make it reportable.

BBCPolitics Good

Who in their right mind complained about the colour of a dress at the opera. Seriously, who are these fuckwits.

These people are always looking for more 'look at me I'm in the news'

Hope she told them to piss off. In what way is it pro anything, no words thereon, it’s a dress !!

Regardless of your opinion on such things we have colourful debates on the wearing of various items of religious attire which are okay due to ‘freedom of religion’, here someone exercises freedom of expression by wearing an EU themed dress and it’s all ‘TAKE IT OFF’

She looks gorgeous. And if it's good enough for the Queen... Seriously though, people should butt out. 48% (and rising) of people will not be oppressed any longer! And if you can't be political in the arts, then this country is not the country it was.

What to? A yellow vest?

The Queen wears blue and yellow outfits for official functions, I don't see anyone telling her to change.

Brexiter snowflakes.

Hope they ban all the EU flags too..

Gammons will moan about anything

I think who ever asked her to change her dress needs a life and to stop being a bloody snowflake! Sick and tired of people thinking this means that and that means something else, stop assuming everything is something it isnt! She should be allowed to wear what she likes!

...and knew just where to run blubbing for maximum publicity.

Pathetic that this 'offended people'. Imagine being on the side that calls the other side 'snowflakes' on a daily basis, and then getting offended by a dress. Such twee Brexiteers.

That was brave. I asked my ex wife to change her dress once! Not a good idea.

She should have walked out! There are idiots in Albert Hall. It will die out without Europe!

About time there is some positive news

Too right. People didn't pay for a political broadcast 👍

good

Good, should have cancelled her instead.
