I heard somewhere that the BBC will allow all these songs to be sung with the correct lyrics next year.
Sorry if there seemed to be some confusion here but I only repeated what I read on a reliable news website.

It wasn't reported well and even Boris Johnson stepped in to say he was shocked.
Maybe it was just a bad press release or misunderstood by a reporter.

That's because it is shocking what the BBC have decided to do with our money.
They did a u-turn apparently.
Don't worry, they will be back at a later date with some other shocking decision.

They had to u-turn really because people would just sing the lyrics anyway. If they refuse in the future just take their licence to broadcast away from them.
