Apparently, an Israeli delegate made fun of Joost’s dead parents, which caused Joost to lash out and punch them. It's all speculation at this moment in time. Might not be true.

No, that’s what a load of antisemites are claiming. Eurovision has stated that no other performer or delegation was involved.

If they're not careful, they will destroy the competition with their political input.

Considering it is a LGBT+ fest, they are protesting about a group of people that would happily kill them all. Turkeys are voting for Christmas.

Just get back to the music and Cyprus voting for Greece, Greece voting for Cyprus, Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania all voting for each other and nobody voting for the UK. Leave the politics to someone else.

No. I think it was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the 2006 World Cup Final?!

Olly Alexander saying that he has received online pressure to pull out. Can see the whole thing turning into a disaster tonight.

Can’t even start to describe how ignorant this is.

What about that keeping it about the music idea?

Can't even begin to describe how out of context this [snip] quote [/snip] is to try and score morality points.

Perhaps if you had quoted my entire post, you wouldn't look quite so pathetic at attempting to look smart.

I know. Sorry, but check the original post. The non-political boat sailed ages ago.

[Jordie Barretts sock]

To be fair, there is now a thread running in NP+E for the political debate.

You’re the one that couldn’t help yourself but deliberately misrepresent why thousands of people are boycotting one of their favourite events of the year.

[spikeyhead]

Enough already, again,

Please, let's leave this thread for music and only music

So - Boom Bang a Bang ?

[KP328]

I have not seen any of the build up to the final and not heard the UK song so might check it out later.

Wonder if what we see on telly will be on a couple minuets delay in case there is trouble they can cut to something else?

You said you are not watching it this year

[Mr E]

Will be joining the best thread of the year shortly. My mutton burgers are currently on fire

(Incidentally, the name of the failed 2007 New Zealand entry)

Thankfully we don't pretend to be European. Unlike our neighbours.
