and what are they hearing in Gaza? Boom Bang a Bang.
Boycott this apartheid crap.

Probably a bit late now.
Anyway the local rag comments page brings us some more genius thinking from the Brexit club.
We deserved no points last night. Other nations put in their Adele or Robbie and we send a lad that has a Saturday job in Timpsons.
Denmark were robbed though. The girls on the big chair were easily the best.
How was the Palestinian entry?

PMSL Are you being serious? Denmark was mediocre at best.

Palestine isn't in Europe ffs.
I think our entry was ok . The contest is about participating and is a bit (tongue in cheek) rather than being like an athletics championship with nations showcasing their very best( obviously some nations have different ideas and needs). The fact that we put in new talent and give them a chance is fine with me. This contest is about fun and I must say I enjoyed it . The real big shock for me was how flat Madonna was singing. I don’t know what seems to have happened to her pitching.

Errr.... Is Isreal?
Yeah but Israel is different, everyone knows that the rules which apply to everyone else don't apply to Israel.
Israel participate as part of the Broadcasting rules -
“The “European Broadcasting Area” is bounded on the west by the western boundary of Region 1, on the east by the meridian 40° East of Greenwich and on the south by the parallel 30° North so as to include the northern part of Saudi Arabia and that part of those countries bordering the Mediterranean within these limits. In addition, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia and those parts of the territories of Iraq, Jordan, Syrian Arab Republic, Turkey and Ukraine lying outside the above limits are included in the European Broadcasting Area.”
So not sure about any special rules here.
Looking forward to Hamas permitting this on their watch, or any LGBT performers or rights for that matter.
I always enjoy the Greek entry

Neither is Australia, and they take part

Did anybody else get the impression that Madonna might not actually be very well? When she was being interviewed, she looked like she was in some discomfort and the way she was descending those stairs gave me the impression she was a touch arthritic. Falling backwards off the stage notwithstanding though....

Well I wouldn't claim to be an Eurovision expert, in fact I'm happy to admit my extensive ignorance of the subject, but as I understand it Australia has some sort associated membership and is not allowed to stage Eurovision events in Australia.
And I didn't think I needed to spell it out but judging by Drac's reaction, for example, to be clear what I meant by saying that the rules which apply to everyone else don't apply to Israel is of course a reference to the fact that Israel is freely allowed to ignore the rules relating to war crimes, the Geneva Convention, and UN Resolutions.
I have no idea why nim threw in the 'whatabout Hamas'.
There was a question as to how the Palestinian entry was. As Hamas run Gaza, they don’t really go in for this type of thing.
I'm fairly sure that Palestine's lack of participation in the Eurovision Song Contest has nothing to do with Hamas.
Hamas only govern a small area of Palestine - the Gaza Stop.
Besides, Israel's siege and blockade of Gaza, in direct violation of UN resolutions, would make participation logistically impossible.
