There hasn't been a descent Eurovision song since Abba, which I remember watching on the telly at my mate's house in Shotton Colliery.

As for cultural appropriation, I think we can take issue over the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but a kimono is just a piece of cloth.

And, BTW, since when is Israel part of Europe?!?

But maybe it is just a part of the conspiracy. The Eurovision Song Festival is always held in the country of the previous year's winner, so now that gives a lot of European countries reason to boycott next year's event...

Holy shit. I am not the only one with that idea.

Over 18,000 people sign petition calling on Iceland to boycott Israel Eurovision

An aunt of mine did that too at an earlier time, and her impression was the same. And she found those Israelis pretty racist.

lovely bloke, hadn't thought about him for years then one afternoon he popped up in the news for the saddest of reasons.

Was sorting out old photos a while ago and found one of him mooning, the things we did for entertainment before InstaBook......
