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.”
It’s like being in a night club when they turn off the music and turn on the lights and you realise you’ve been dancing next to an eight year-old all night.
That is a weirdly specific image
