A new poll suggests that 82% Of British people want Israel to be removed from the Eurovision Song Contest.
The country’s continued involvement with the Song Contest is the subject of controversy, with Russia having been removed following its invasion of Ukraine.
The poll was pieced together by Pablo O’Hana, and utilised a survey sample of 1093, done in a nationally representative manner.
A noted Eurovision fan himself, Pablo O’Hana adds: “Eurovision isn’t just about songs and staging – it’s about values. If Israel is permitted to compete, the people of Britain believe we should walk away. The BBC must find its backbone before walking into that meeting today.”
Will the “will of the people” be followed in this so called democracy?
Democracy died under Kier Stalin /s
A significant portion of the UK government ministers have received donations (Definitely not just legal bribes) from Labour Friends of Israel, so it’s heavily unlikely that they do anything disparaging towards Israel.
It’s the main reason they’re having such a hard time admitting they’re complicit in an ongoing genocide.
Saw the parliamentary session questioning the police chiefs responsible for banning the Tel Aviv away fans to the recent football game. The MPs started the session with declarations of interest.
The last one is irrelevant, but the fact that he felt he had to disclose it is fucked
well no because the eurovision is not a political event you see
No such thing as an event free from politics.
Exactly. I tell people, “you can ignore politics, but politics won’t ignore you.”
correct!
Would be a very rare occurrence if so. Like the US, the UK government is notorious for being extremely unrepresentative of the needs and wants of the people regardless of who’s in power.
Not least classics such as zionism, cops, warfare, and education.
