Eurovision

[fed up]

Public vote is odd. The Swiss were going great guns in the jury vote then they don’t get shyte in the public vote.

Lol and Israel jumped from nowhere into first with a huge score..

Great to see the Annual tradition of Europe giving UK the two fingers whenever voting time comes around is alive and well

I watched the final in an Irish pub in Vienna last night. It was on every TV with the volume up full, and the place was jointed.

It actually was so much fun, people were just enjoying it for what it was. Not like Ireland where we can't have nice things because Palestine etc.

Biggest cheers of the night were Ireland giving Austria 12 points, the UK getting 0 points, and obviously the suspense at the end. There were a small handful of "free, free Palestine" chants but the majority of people were cheering because Austria won.

I'd ride that Finnish one into next week btw.

Wasn't a bad tune in fairness, but I suspect shenanigans were going in the background.

Saw tweets from Israeli's saying' this proves the world were behind their campaign in Palestine.

To be fair public attitude towards the Eurovision is a key metric when it comes to global affairs

A buddy of mine is a big Eurovision head. He has been to the last 6 or 7 editions of it live becuase it's basically craic station zebra for Gay fellas.

He said last year was fuckin miserable with all the politicisation over Israeli participation.

His point was that basically none of the Olympic athletes has to justify their own situation in relation to Israel nor were there calls to boycott the contest as a result.

He was fairly angry about it and didn't go at all this year. I do think he has a point.
