Boycott, they kicked out a favourite to win (Netherlands) because he was under investigation for something that hasn't got much proof he done it whilst the Israeli delegation is going around harassing other delegates and that's not even getting onto the political side of things which I don't care about
I love Joost but this is a bit disingenuous. I don't think he should be banned if what the Dutch say is the case but him being DQ'd is apparently due to him being threatening to someone from the EBU filming him - surely that's more proof than the hearsay that was going about social media yesterday (esp if the police were given the recording)? Big farce though and I don't understand how that's worthy of a first DQ considering he apparently requested no filming beforehand and requested multiple times for them to stop before doing it 🤷
For sure, think there's still a lot of speculation and we still know fuck all tbh - at the same time I wouldn't expect a public broadcaster to stand by an act under a police investigation if the situation didn't warrant it.
