Is that why Dutch singer Joost Klein made "unlawful threats" to a member of Bambie Thug?
That's come out of left field eh. Burnaby.
Nah, not a dude. Bambie identifies as non-binary, but definitely used to be a girl.Megaterio Llamas wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 10:42 pm
I think it's a dude Don.
His Wiki entry refers to him as 'they.'![]()
No, that was an incident with a camera woman. There is an ongoing police investigation, so they’re not really giving out any details, but apparently Joost wanted her to stop filming, and it got ugly. After a crisis meeting the EBU (European Broadcasting Union) decided to disqualify the Dutch entry, nothing involving other participants from what I have heard. The one altercation with another participant that I know Joost had was not with Ireland but with Israel. He was sneering at Israel though during the press conference after the second semifinal. A journalist asked Eden Golan (Israel’s participant) if she worried that her participation created a risk for other participants. The guy sitting next to her said ”you don’t have to answer that”. The Dutch delegation was seated next to the Israelis at the podium, and Joost was hiding underneath a big Dutch flag, He immediately interjected ”Why not?” In a rather stern voice, which could be interpreted as that he personally thought this was the case. That’s not what got him disqualified though.Strangelove wrote: ↑Sat May 11, 2024 7:58 pmIs that why Dutch singer Joost Klein made "unlawful threats" to a member of Bambie Thug?
I heard poor ole Joost was disqualified and sent packing over something like dat dere?
I think it is more a reference to Israel’s participation. Several countries, including Norway, Finland and Iceland, had asked that Israel should not be allowed to participate, citing the Russia ban after the invasion of Ukraine. In the end they chose to participate though. There were 37 participating countries, just as in 2023. Belgium chose to pause the broadcast during Israel’s performance though. So, no, Norway’s entry did not pull out, but the person supposed to present the voting result from the Norwegian jury dropped out and was replaced by someone else. I assume the same thing happened in Finland, because Petra Mede, the presenter who recieved the results seemed surprised at who presented the Finnish results, so it must have been someone else than during rehearsals.Also heard Norway's entry pulled out in response to what they called "the inflamed situation in Malmo this year".
Is that referencing the anti-Israel protests going on there?
That’s correct. There have been tens of thousands protesting, holding meetings and marching through downtown Malmö all week, but protests were peaceful. Then Saturday evening a group of protesters swamped the area right outside the stadium, which is not where they had been assigned to be, and police dispersed them. A total of eight people we’re apprehended, one of them Greta Thunberg. One person was arrested for assaulting an officer.Heard they arrested and locked-up Greta Thunberg as she was protesting there.
You must have misunderstood my role. I’m just a humble civil servant, I’m not really running the entire country.Just what kind of a fucked up country are you running over there Per?![]()
