    Imagine Dustin if you didn’t know what it was. Like the American half celebs confronted by zig and zag on the big breakfast. Chris Evans would be a piece of piss after those fuckers. That’s why nil points followed the turkey farrago. It made the fatal mistake of taking the piss where you want high camp seriousness. Or chicken clucking.

      The best way to subvert this is for Palestine to apply to be included and to participate next year. Israel would hate that

              Palestine Is located within the European Broadcasting Area so would be eligible on that front. However Palestine only has observer status to the International Telegraphic Union, so may not be eligible on that front (membership of the ITU is related to UN membership). If the observer status of ITU was considered sufficient, then a Palestinian broadcaster would then need to apply for EBU membership - this appears to have some costs; 1FL TV in Liechtenstein attempted to entered the EBU several times earlier this decade but couldn't get sufficient government funding.

                Watched the results (I can't take watching the rest) on French TV.

                Every time someone pushed France further down the lists when voting came in, it was like someone had personally attacked the country, very odd.

                But weirdest thing was when Austria was looking on course, the silly woman, said something like, if they win they can't hold it next year in Australia as they aren't in Europe, she was not immediately corrected; but someone must have tapped her on the shoulder as she very later on corrected it very quietly.

                French commentators in sport are bad enough; but this bunch were just risible.

                  Doesn't the voting reflect social and economic migration? Israel has a diaspora, as do Ireland, Ukraine, Russia and Poland.

                    Israel doesn't have a diaspora of any size

                    (It might be strongly connected to a long existant diaspora but it's not a diaspora of Israel which has only existed since 1948)

                      I suppose you could argue that there is a large diaspora connected to the land where Israel is but (a) most of them don't live in Europe and (b) they're fairly unlikely to vote for Israel
