At the risk of being boring, keep banging on at the BBC and SmoothOps. We have a very bad situation here, and it's getting worse. And it will carry on until someone makes some things about the voting procedures.
I have been in situations in the last few days when casual conversations refer make a common assumption that the awards have been fixed; and people are treating Seth Lakeman as a figure of derision to be sneered at, rather than someone to be congratulated and rooted for. This is very sad for the music we know and love. This situation absolutely must be sorted, and if Smooth Ops are not going to come clean, then the BBC should crack the whip and make them.
