So I’m torn. Because as a history of the 1381 Peasants Revolt they got like 90% of it right and history teachers of the future will definitely wheel it out when hungover. But then the final 10 minutes turns Garfield into Robin Hood going after Richard II and ruins everything else that comes before 😑

I’ve never really bought the “budget” excuse when certain countries withdraw. If San Marino can get the money together I don’t buy that a country like Czechia can’t. Board members with an exclusionary agenda is more the vibe in these cases and not even a boycott agenda just a “I hate that show” vibe

🇨🇿 🔴 BREAKING: Czechia will not take part in #Eurovision 2027. Česká televize says the decision was made "in view of the budget adjustments." The broadcaster confirmed the withdrawal applies to 2027 only, and that it will not air the contest this year.

Just seen I’ve lowered my student debt by 2K in the last 12 months 💪 but with that rate I’ll have paid it off in the next 12 years which is 3 years off when it would get cancelled anyway 😑😑

Absolutely fascinating to see Laura Kuenssberg interviewing Burnham, flailing to adjust her stance to a politician with a moral argument and a positive message, who stands up for his policies and answers her questions clearly. She is getting so agitated at him not playing the game by the 'rules'.

Looking at this travel horror story I googled “BA, Iceland, stranded” to see if anyone had picked up the story but instead found other examples of BA abandoning all its passengers due to medical emergencies on board and the crew running away. Crazy how there seems to be zero procedure for this!

lol my flight got diverted because of a medical emergency and they landed us in reykjavik in the middle of the night and deplaned us and sent us through passport control and then the crew vanished and then british airways sent us links to book an overnight hotel room but for a hotel at heathrow

Is the “taking concerns seriously” in the room with us right now? 🤔 What this actually is, is a Hail Mary that the new online voting which forces you to vote for more than one country stops Israel’s inflated results through its supporters manipulating the maximum votes in the old televote

🇧🇪 Belgium's Flemish broadcaster VRT will take part in #Eurovision 2027. "VRT has noticed that the EBU is now taking its members' concerns seriously and is making work of the future of the contest."
