@rte.ie - do you have any day you can share about this?

I think the key issue here is "whose" interests is implicity alluded to? His, or pehaps the Telegraph's readership, but surely not mine. What baffles me is that as a (former) historian he knows his conception of the Nation is only one of many. Genuine lack of self awareness or editorial strategy?

@ebu.ch - since you say on your website you favour #transparency, is it possible to get a detailed breakdown of the absolute number of votes received for each entry in each country, and the average number of votes per entry per unique mobile number in each country?

@ebu.ch - can I check this is correct?
Picking one coutry at random; Ireland had c.268,000 viewers for #eurovision final. Say 10% of them voted, 670 SIM cards (x20 votes) would do to get 50% of the votes costing **€1440** (2€/SIM and 0.15€/text). Not hard to imagine a country manipulating the result

Look at this wonderful new paper by @emvchung.bsky.social from @camunicampop.bsky.social !

31 of England’s prisons are Victorian. Do they work? – visual investigation More than 30 jails still in use today were built by the Victorians. They house a quarter of the prison population. Here we explore how 19th century design is contributing to a 21st century crisis

Great to spot @camunicampop.bsky.social ‘s data used in the Guardian www.theguardian.com/society/ng-i...

A more interesting question would be can you plot the location of the centre point for an equal quadrant distribution for the last couple of centuries?
