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.”
Can we be removed from the Eurovision song contest? It’s been crap for years now, it’s never been about the songs which are frankly mostly terrible, it’s an annual political contest.
thing is, it’s fun and meaningless and brings people together. it means a lot to a lot of people.
I mean it sounds like you’d just be better off ignoring it, tbh.
Most of the time it’s dumb politics. However, the artists are great and I’ve found a lot of hidden gems.
Käärijä at a festival was one of the most fun sets in any festival I’ve been to.
Also, it’s a lot of fun to watch with friends and laugh about all the cringy shit happening.
Funnily enough, I knew Käärija more for this song than the Eurovision one, which admittedly is the only Eurovision song in recent years that I’ve really liked. Not that I hear very many.
