u/CMIV

It's Eurovision time again. What's your opinion these days about this annual event?

I'm old and have some memories of the 1980's when seemingly the whole nation would be glued to their TVs watching Eurovision with great excitement / immense amusement.

What's the feeling these days in the UK? Not bothered? Never been bothered? Awesome display of talent? Amusement at the kitschness of it all?

Anyone here usually watch it but are now joining Ireland, Spain etc. with the fuck Israel boycott?

Quote is from Dan Jarvis, the Minister of State for Security of the UK.

At a fundamental level, it's obviously the radicalism that must surely be tackled as most ~~Islamists~~ muslims and right wingers are peaceful people.

But how do we do this? Isn't it the case that any solution is likely going to impinge even more on our free speech? Do we ban extreme right wing rallies? How do we define which are extreme? Do we imprison more hate preachers? Put strict controls on social media?

I'm at a loss as to how the UK can effectively reduce the terrorist threats from these two groups without reducing freedoms and rights of the public.
