Exclusive 🚨

President Zelensky has been blocked by the BBC and other broadcasters from addressing the world at the Eurovision Song Contest. Organisers feared his address to millions of viewers would politicise the contest.

What a load of shit.

1. Eurovision has always had a political slant.

2. There's multiple cases of showing Ukraine support during the contest.

3. Something feels crazy sleezy about UK hosting it on behalf of Ukraine because they can't due to being bombed and then BBC and other UK broadcasters saying Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine, isn't allowed to speak.

Whoever's blocking him can fuck themselves.
