Israel is in Eurovision as its public broadcaster is a member of the EBU - the European Broadcasting Union. In fact, all of the countries surrounding the Mediterranean are members. Morocco actually performed at the contest in 1980. I think it should be banned because of Gaza, not geography.

Are the midges there legally? - perhaps you could emulate England and send them to Ruanda - or a policy of one in- one out! 🤣😅.
Alas, having lived in Scotland for many years, I know they are a plague - and a bloody nuisance!
I'm 77 - I hope to live long enough to see an independent Scotland.

Meh, they'll still vote for MAGA. They knew what he was like yet millions sat on their backsides and couldn't even be bothered to go and vote.

Who is there to take over? I have no confidence in any of the senior members of his cabinet.

And balls of the day! 😛

The musical show "Cabaret" (1966 - movie 1972) was based on the play "I Am a Camera" (1951) which in turn was based on Christopher Isherwood's novel "Goodbye to Berlin" (1939).

"Christopher and His Kind" was not published until 1976 - long after "I Am a Camera".

The housing problem is easily fixed by the governments of each state building social housing but, of course, that will never happen as those who are already on the property ladder would scream blue murder as their multi-million dollar "asset" loses value.

Sorry, but I'm won't be sending any birthday wishes to someone who went out of his way to arse lick Trump by eulogising Kirk. He should have said nothing at all.

This idiocy by Starmer is because he's sh*t scared of Farage. He should grow a pair or f*ck off and let someone else try. Independence for Scotland is the only way to get away from these losers.

It's ludicrous the amount of airtime Farage gets. He has 4 MP's FFS, yet media like the BBC, Sun, Telegraph and Mail give him hours and acres of coverage to spout his bile. The Greens and Plaid Cymru also have 4 seats yet they never get a platform. Nor, of course, does the SNP. Shameful.

These people are just thugs. They remind me of nazi brownshirts.

Hopefully the Nobel Committee put it straight in the trash.

I'm 76. I hope I live long enough to see an independent Scotland and apply for my Scottish passport. It's a pity Scotland was conned into voting to stay part of the UK partly because of the concern of not being a member of the EU. The EU would have welcomed Scotland with open arms.

His pass to the Press Room has probably already been withdrawn. We can't have an uppity reporter showing her up for the obsequious Trump loving idiot she obviously is.

Whilst I applaud the sentiment, it's a shame that around 85,000,000 Americans didn't get off their asses and vote. Then perhaps that Orange Fuck would be in jail, where he belongs. Many Democrat voters not voting because they didn't like Harris - I hope they regret it now.

Does Starmer stand for anything? I doubt it.

I purchased your book when it was released in Australia. I absolutely loved it. I wanted to treat it like a box of chocolates - keep something for later - but I became so engrossed in the story that I couldn't stop! :-) I'm looking forward to your next.

Thank you for posting this. I'd forgotten I should cut my dry toast into triangles. 😱🙂
