    I remember when we were allowed to have fun and enjoy things. I miss that.

    Iceland nearly sent a Palestinian bloke (and were favourite in the odds when it looked like that would happen). Now that would have been fun.

    I'd say the main problem is that there just aren't enough platforms for one to express one's views, if one has any, on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Before that is solved I'm afraid fun will have to take a back seat.

    I suppose this is another blow for the 'keep sport and politics separate' crowd, possibly the world's densest subset.

    If most of the newly minted Eurovision fans from the last 20 years flounce off because Israel win then it'll probably be a net win for the competition and we can all go back to lolling at the subtitles from the non-English songs and stop being so fucking earnest about largely dreadful music.

    I blame Australia.

    Israel should have sent Dana International back to fully break minds.

    If they do win, I suspect nothing of note will happen. There will be twitter outrage and the likes, but other than the next one not actually being hosted in Israel, I don't think much will change.

    Rumours going round that he punched a producer or maybe an Israeli delegate or a woman (who might also be one of the previous two roles) because they made a joke about his dead parents.

    The police are involved though.

    Dutch guy's out for threatening a Swede. I maintain that 2017 was the last great year of this and we've been hurtling downhill since

    If I watch tonight, am I guaranteed drama? And I mean PROPER drama. Not gay people angry that their favourite song didn't win drama.

    Is Jarvis Cocker attending?

    I'd lean towards disappointment on the potential drama front.

    Might add to the drama. Some mook like Mika might turn up unannounced and get smoked on live tv. Guess it'll probably be on delay though.

    Israel, Ukraine, Switzerland and France.

    £2.5 E/W on all of them.

    Edit: Ukraine is actually £5 E/W.

    It really would be exceptionally funny if they won though.

    A younger, more trollish Spikey would have chucked them a vote. Sadly the whole genocide thing puts a bit of a dampener on it.

    Setting up corridors for civilians to flee along, then bombing them is a war crime at a minimum and I don't object to the label genocide being used to describe it.
