Love Look Mum No Computer. Hate to see his association with Eurovision
We shouldn't be in Eurovision. If the UK had any self respect, we'd be boycotting it like Iceland, Ireland, The Netherlands, Spain, and Slovenia.
I’m not disagreeing with your sentiment but just pointing out it’s highly unlikely to see the UK go against Israel - from the Balfour Declaration to the Palestine Act 1948, the UK played a critical part in forming Israel as we know it today and are ultimately the catalyst of the war.
The history of the two states are deeply intertwined and no doubt benefit both parties (e.g a British ally to strengthen access to the Suez Canal).
Unless there’s a monumental shift in the entire political landscape of the UK (even the rise of anti-immigration sentiment is actually in favour of Israel), the two states will continue their long-standing support of one another.
He's brilliant, we've played it safe for too long. We need something really out there, and hopefully he'll deliver
That's nice... my partner and I won't be watching it this year.
Eurovision, featuring warcrimes and countries nowhere near EU.
He should pull out.
This is Ireland's My Lovely Horse all over again. No one actually wants to win this thing anymore do they
Er, yes they do?
I know, it was admittedly a stupid comment

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
