Why, incidentally, has Eurovision become the disco wing of the UN? In fact, is there any lawyer-filled supranational organisation that isn’t trying to tear down what we do, what we hold dear and the way we see ourselves as countries? Last year, in Basel, of all laughably soft, inert places, two people tried to throw paint over a survivor of the October 7 massacre and storm the stage as she was singing. Sorry, but this is mental illness. I’m not going to get into a (major) slanging match about the individual national characters of these countries. Spain isn’t a surprise...
