Judea 👀

I guess he would’ve been a citizen of the Roman Empire if citizenship existed back then, so probably would’ve been a modern day citizen of Turkey or something.

The UK should just bin the whole thing off and leave it to the countries that think it has any meaning or significance. 

 

Such a waste of money.

It's a bit of fun in a relentlessly bleak news cycle

 True. It's nonsense but the radio media in particular R2 take it so seriously and push the event and the UK song relentlessly.

 

I have a choice to not be interested. I exercise that choice.

 

Happy times for those that enjoy it.

Way to suck the joy out of my faux dismay at not being able to letch at Spain's entry next year due to Israeli's ongoing brutality.

What a pair

Heard on 5live that some countries said that they would pull out if Israel  were banned so obviously a split going but isn't a good look having major countries deciding not to enter.

 

Was there a vote on all this between those involved?

Vote was today

the big countries put the dosh in so have a bigger say 

 

tbh, with the way it is now so that loads of countries don’t make the Saturday night, not sure anyone will notice 5 or 6 missing.

Fella from Eurovision was on the news this evening, lamenting that politics and not the music was taking centre stage.

Wtf?

It's always been driven by politics and nationalistic preferences and allegiances.
