Re: Eurovision Tonight . MOTD on BBC2 .

Now the EU has complained to the EBU that the EU flag wasn't allowed in the venue.
EBU rules state only participating countries' flags and the rainbow flag are allowed.

What a load of bollocks!

Pretty petty. All flags are inherently political. I could understand a policy of only national flags but I saw a few of the updated rainbow flags which are far more political than an EU flag. Of course, the EU and Europe aren't the same thing at all, but can't see harm in letting them in, especially in Sweden

It's a contest to see which country can come up with the worst song.
And worst costumes (Though one singer this year has virtually no costume, flashing his dangly bits around, dirty sod)


And it is a contest with absolutely no politics involved, none whatsoever.

Cock-rock making a come back?

Re: Eurovision Tonight . MOTD on BBC2 .

That is a hell of a generalisation . I don't think I have met many people who are interested in what she has to say
Equally, I also don't think I have met anyone who openly supports Nigel Farage.

I worded that poorly, apologies. I'll reword, rethink my generalisation in more detail.

I've got friends on social media, some of whom fall into one general category. Not sure how you'd name this category, but if they were ever to share some pointless meme on Facebook, they'd be things like, not that I'm saying everyone subscribes to everything in this list:

Muslims being offended by poppies
False nonsense about our Military and Armed Forces not being appreciated
Stop the boats, ban immigration (mainly of muslims)
Support Brexit
Why can't we use Christmas and Easter, even when they aren't religious at all
How much foreign aid costs
The workshy
Bollocks to the environment
Dripford
Anything anti-Labour
Welsh friends who are Pro-British to the point of almost being anti-Welsh and dislike anything anyone in Wales does ever, that Britain is the only important country in the world
Freedom of speech (usually to allow discrimination), usually coupled with comments about people being offended by certain old fashioned types of inappropriate humour.

If anyone was going to post anti Greta Thunberg stuff, it's that sort of demographic, not that they all do, nor are those who post anti-Greta stuff do subscribe to that list. It's also possibly true that those who aren't bothered by the above list are accepting of what she and other environmentalists do. I accept that it's certainly not a case of one or the other.

Brilliant post Eric and spot on!

You only missed out:...

Complaints about Councils and Council Workers (and how poor they are compared to the private sector)

And .. every other word interspersed with "Woke" and how everything was so much better back in the day.

So around and around we go.
The culture wars continue and are to be blamed on those with an opposing view.

Do you acknowledge any of the concerns of those that hold a different view to you?
Do you care at least to meet a common ground with those you disagree with?

I honestly think that we are close to civil conflict in the West due to people being so unyielding in their ideologies.

Telling that you decide to write that after Eric wrote a post which seemed pretty accurate to me, not when we had someone in the thread mocking those who showed their appreciation of NHS staff during the lockdowns four years ago.

Sorry, on second thoughts that reply was not called for.

Looks like you’re yet again using my reply to suit your agenda. Nobody was mocking it , it was merely pointed out that it was a government propaganda exercise . It was also pointed out that If they really cared about the NHS then we wouldn’t have waiting lists of 6/7 million , huge delays in operating times and strike action for pay most definitely deserve.Hope that helps.
If you think differently then that’s also your prerogative but not everyone thinks like you.
