    Kevin Spacey

    Plenty of other celebs who have worked with him and in the industry did think otherwise. There were plenty of rumours well before 2017. This wasn’t a case where everyone was surprised when he was accused.

    It will blow many people in the UK minds that the right wing Tories will easily win the young vote in Canada. And the non Muslim BAME vote as well going by polls.

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    I find it ironic the Dutch entrant was hardline anti Israel and now the Netherlands will have one of the most pro Israel governments in Europe.

    Political Frailty

    Sky News just sent a news alert saying he is in a life threatening condition. The Telegraph’s email alert focuses on his pro Russian views- are they suggesting those are linked to why he was shot.

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    20 votes has been the rule for years and the change to the start has been done before. And why would the EBU want Israel to do well when they hosting a few years ago was chaotic enough dealing with the religious parties in the country. (They had to reluctantly move it to Tel Aviv despite Netanyahu wanting it in Jerusalem but it would have been impossible to do so and follow the Shabbat rules’

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    Geneva - which would be an interesting choice for a Eurovision in terms of what the city represents, doesn’t have a suitable arena. Looks like Bern and Zurich do. So most likely Zurich.

    I suspect the EBU will still want them absent to avoid another year of them overshadowing the contest even thriugh the war in Gaza will Hopefully be long finished by then

    You think the BbC will stay if the EBU try and expel the public winner in the UK. Keir Starmer won’t allow it.

    I think both the Uk and Israel will withdraw next year for different but connected reasons.

    That wasn’t for security - that was becuase they couldn’t afford to host it a second time in a row.

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    Not really. The authorities in Israel just won’t allow anyone anti Israel into the country - so the only protestors will be domestic and some acts will be DQ or forced to perform from home.

    Curse Of The Eurovision

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/27854280/eurovision-crisis-israel-singer-gaza-protests/ Rishi Sunak condemns the protests and boycotts against Eurovision. This shows that had the EBU banned Israel the political and press backlash in the UK would have have forced the BBC to withdraw.
