I'm tempted to respond but could well imagine my broad sense of humour will result in a suspension or ban.

Good chance. France has not won ESC since 1977!

[Jingthing]

New song from last year's winner Netta. This is NOT Israel's entry but I think she will be performing it.

I thought this lot were decamping to Latin America.

As a EU national, I can't but wonder how in hecks name non EU countries should be permitted to participate, and if so, why not change the name to reflect its TRUE nature.

England thought so, or thought it could helping winning "A war to end all wars", so made the Balfour Declaration. Without that there is no Israel. 

 

Need to work on your deflections methinks
