It was originally started for members of the European broadcasting union so being a European country was not a prerequisite as not all member states were in Europe.

Wasn't Eurovision originally (maybe it still is?) a sort of cooperation between the various state TV producers in which they shared video streams of common interest, probably to save costs on duplicating on-site camera teams at such events. But I don't know whether they cover anything besides the song contest any more these days.

| Quote: | | | | | | | | | | Lebanon, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey were all full members of the EBU in 1956, and were all eligible to take part in the Eurovision Song Contest that year.
The question of eligibility to participate in the ESC has been done to death here.

And anything could happen in a day or two, as Austria has shown.

Carrying on with this is completely counter-productive and WILL be used as an excuse when some supporters of other persuasions throw acid or bricks at politicians they disagree with.
Violence is never the answer, even if you believe Farage and Yakult-Lennon to be reprehensible, lying toads.

I think I'm just saturated (no pun intended) to the point of hilarity with the current politics and most of it is just makes me roar with laughter. The milkshake chuckers are now labeled "Radicalised remainers" by Farage. What's not to love about that..?

So, how should we interpret the polls.
Is the electorate saying, good riddance that we'll soon be out of the EU so let's give them one roaring farewell by voting in the biggest clowns we can muster? And after that we'll go back to being sensible?
Or is this the beginning of the new normal?

I bet that made a stink, and the guy who threw it is a Sky customer service advisor. Even Kay Burley announced that he's a Sky employee "in the interests of full disclosure". https://news.sky.com/story/man-arres...arage-11724800
I'm still retching at the mere thought of a banana and salted caramel milkshake...eeewwww
