They withdrew from the EBU a few years back, so they're not eligible. I don't think they ever submitted an entry as winning the big gay singing show wasn't top of their priorities.

Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, Libya, Lebanon and some others are all eligible to enter but choose not to.

oh thanks for the info.

cause it took off at the same time television did, and it might have even started as a radio program maybe? i'm not looking it up because this is all the mental energy i will spend on eurovision this year

"Eurovision" was supposed to be some Europe-wide broadcasting network and the song contest is the only surviving element of it

Nah it still exists as EBU, it's a bit like reuters but mostly for music on TV, e.g. BBC Proms is offered through it.

This is the funniest UK Eurovision entry because it manages to be both obnoxiously pro empire and also so so gay.

I never knew where to stand on kibbutzes, on one hand there's the whole settler mentality on the other hand the ideology behind it is alright, at least theoretically.

Yes. Agree. When I was 18 and it was long before google, internets, much access to serious news other than the famous broadsheets, I was completely unaware of many things.

What happened to Lee Harpin?!?
An association too far (right)?

Being in the same Mexican town as Trotsky's house (how many decades later?) was enough to get the vultures on Corbyn's neck.
I think BoD accolytes platform sharing with Tommeh deserves considerably more condemnation.


Google this if you don't know about trotsky's house:

That's a tough read, but not unexpected. The whole point of the public school system is to abuse, humiliate and dehumanize kids to the point where they become Tories and their mindset becomes obsessed on inflicting on others the misery they experienced.
