Gene-gle All The Way Hunt 🇨🇦🇵🇸

Last year I won Eurovision and with it I was awarded the trophy. And even though I'm immensely grateful for the community around this contest and everything this experience has taught me both as a person and artist, today I no longer feel this trophy belongs on my shelf. Eurovision says it stands for unity, inclusion, and dignity for all. Those values made this contest meaningful to me. But Israel's continued participation, during what the UN's Independent International Commission of Inquiry has concluded to be a genocide, shows a clear conflict between those ideals and the decisions made by the EBU.

This is not about individuals or artists. The contest was repeatedly used to soften the image of a state accused of severe wrongdoing, all while the EBU insisted Eurovision is "non-political." And when entire countries withdraw over this contradiction, it should be clear that something is deeply wrong. That's why I've decided that I'm sending my trophy back to the EBU headquarters in Geneva. With gratitude and with a clear message: Live what you claim. If the values we celebrate onstage aren't lived offstage, then even the most beautiful songs lose their meaning. I'm waiting for the moment those words and actions align. Until then, this trophy is yours. Nemo

Nemo has decided to send their trophy they won in Malmö 2024 back to EBU headquarters in Geneva as a statement!

This is a monumental prestigious loss for EBU and everything Eurovision Song Contest stands for!

Hard to believe we beat Fulham's stand with a swimming pool on the roof but here we are

I'm not sure anyone's ever had a satisfactory answer from the cats on this one tbf

And also between her ears

How can we draw more attention to this? They're Palestine Action hunger strikers who are now in critical condition in the hospital and the UK is just letting them die. It also feels like there is a media blackout

Although Hannah Hampton chucking her opposite number's water bottle into the crowd during the shoot out was absolutely huge behaviour as well

Don't be silly, none of you are real

Apparently 12 of the 16 Portuguese finalists say they won't go and they won't be made to by the authority there

Morning Blues. My Arsenal ticket just sold, took three days. I know some take an interest in updates on demand so there's mine!

Lmao, she's getting booted at the GE anyway

Only when he's telling everyone off for being too right wing and illiberal

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses

Hit it

Probably trying to smuggle drugs in it or something

Couple of years ago a quarter of NLS was West Country based- Bath, WsM, Chippenham, Torquay, Truro, Yeovil. Easy to see how Kings Lynn are nowhere near the boundary now.
Gloucester weren't that badly off tbh. Hereford, Kidderminster etc gave them a few games within spitting distance

Bishops Stortford are still in it aren't they?
The south has steadily gained in numbers at that level, I'd imagine due to economic and population factors. As a result, the dividing line has also moved further south over time

I see it's the time of year when all the parties get to put anyone they like into the Lords and as ever the list of names is an absurd insult to the general public.

It's being shared by that ridiculous Austin character so can be safely ignored

"Women's rights activist" 🤡

European here. Go fuck yourselves!

Take care, all the best x

Ísland tekur ekki þátt í Eurovision 2026 - RÚV.is RÚV tekur ekki þátt í Söngvakeppni evrópskra sjónvarpsstöðva í vor. Þetta varð ljóst eftir fund stjórnar RÚV í dag. Ekki hefur verið ákveðið hvort Söngvakeppnin fer fram á næsta ári.

Iceland withdraws from Eurovision 2026. Masterstroke by them illustrating the story with that photo of Hatari holding Palestinian flags at Eurovision 2019.

Abandoned even by the weird robotic helmet haired women?

And so perished the last European competition that involved having to actually win something to qualify

Looks nice that

When I was in NYC in 2013, the only game I saw being played in parks, cages and wherever was football. OK so NYC's a massive immigrant city but nevertheless. San Francisco similar - yes, massive murals for the 49ers and Giants but also saw plenty of Barca and Real Madrid shirts in the Mission

Expecting you to sing this instead of "Get yer coat on..." from now on

Taliban detain men in ‘un-Islamic’ Peaky Blinders outfits The group of friends has issued an apology for dressing like characters from the British series after they were accused of promoting foreign influences

A screenshot of an X (formerly Twitter) thread. The first post is from J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) with a verified badge. She writes: “Are you even human if you don't have a good deep sniff of a Sharpie before writing with it.” It shows the timestamp “4:12 AM · Dec 10, 2025” and engagement metrics. Below it, Adam Carter (@adammcarter), also verified, replies: “Are you defacing them toilet walls again?” Rowling replies to him: “I'm writing addresses on Post It notes. It's taking longer than it should because of the need to get another hit of Sharpie.”

This explains a lot.

Yeah this last comment. Quite happy to support them critically out of spite for all the others.

Apropos of nothing, it always seemed to me there was a subset of old white guys when I was growing up who were dead keen on Madness/Bad Manners but never mentioned The Specials or The Beat.
Not a comment on the bands themselves just those specific people
