I get all of them except for the Eurovision part because it's got nothing to do with you. I pay taxes directly to the event. It's also funded by the EU thus taxes paid by me and everyone in the union. Not you.

Sounds like the list of things banned under sharia law. It’s James show so I’m not surprised.

Did you listen to the show?

What has happened with this guy? He used to be brave...it is a sad thing watching it

He knows who pays him. I'm American and used to really like listening to O'Brien but he lost with this and the starmer support He's just a liberal centrist that doesn't want anything to change economy wise just keep giving all the money to the wealthy and when you become wealthy like he has sadly if you have no principles you begin to agree

James, I know you Brits are fond of your English language. Look up the definition of "integrity" in the Oxford dictionary. Hint: Sangita has it.

Has he even admitted he was wrong about Corbyn? That he fell for the Israel-sponsored smears?

Sangrita is in Dubai getting some nice sunshine & shopping in the malls there.

​@@victormeidan1062And rightly so.

💯 🎯🎯🎯 Now for the question LBC must answer - where is Sangita?

Many Israelis are from Europe, US and many other places in the world, perhaps that is why they act as if they own the world.

Neither is Australia

@@arabellacox And they shouldn't be allowed to participate either. Did you seriously expect a different answer?

They can participate because they are under the European Broadcasting Union. Australia is too.

To be fair through, many Israelis are of european origin.

money thats why

@@DavieBee1988 So Armenia, Australia & Cyprus are NOT in Europe. Yet they still participate in Eurovision. Presumably all these countries pay big $$$$ to get in ?

Eurovision is organised by the European Broadcasting Union which includes Israel. But don’t let knowledge pollute your tiny brain..

@@victormeidan1062Europe and Asia are part of the same continent, we only divide them based on race and cultural differences. Nobody knows where Europe and Asia divide because Kazakhstan has territory in Europe and Asia as does Russia, Türkiye, Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan..

@@leekelly9639 Cyprus, Armenia and Australia are entirely outside Europe - as indicated by traditional geographical divisions. Other countries like Turkey, Georgia,, Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan are mostly in Asia but contain small parts in Europe.

Did you listen to the video?

Jewish temple was There 6000yr ago.Jesus was Jewish like mary and joseph but they became Christian,meaning follower of christ,try going to Jerusalem or telaviv,half of jews look arab or Mediterranean,same way your ancestor were hindu or Buddhist

@@Conner.YorkshireRichmond no proof Jesus ever was and doesn’t change the fact Europe was built on colonial expansion and Israel is currently illegally expanding into Gaza and The West Bank.

@@Conner.YorkshireRichmond none of it changes the fact that Israel is a settler colonial state. The founders of Israel literally called themselves settlers and colonists.

​@@syedmuzammilahmed6553by your logic....arab are colonist in north Africa

hhahah 😄

But Ukraine had not just attacked nearby Russian farming villages thus provoking Russian retaliation, please explain further your comparison

@@DeanFlintstonePalestinians had suffered severe abuse and oppression for decades prior to 10/7. Israel should’ve been treated as a pariah state long before the events of the past 7 months. This coming from someone who generally supported Israel but did not understand the history to this conflict.

​@@DeanFlintstoneLook into 2018 peaceful protest and see how Israel responded. Oct 7 was horrific but a beat dog bites

​@@demitri2510 Lol why are you ignoring the fact Hamas, as Palestine's elected government, consistently responded to potential peace deals with abhorrent violence? Is it because it ruins your narrative?

Russia shouldn't have been banned.

Oh shut up

Israel will win, they already planned for the genocidal state to win

Yes, let them get up there so they can see the whole world (except the US🙄) is against them.

They won the people vote...keep crying

​@@balajiraju4157 The so called "Peoples Vote" which you are trying to refer to is not a legal election but a paid comment, from where and paid for by who, who knows. But I can guess.

It's racism, they wouldn't accept the narrative that this started on oct 7th if it were Israelis facing the violence they force upon Palestinians

@@fctoryReset Excerpts from a 2019 BBC story: A commission of inquiry investigated the killing of 189 Palestinians between 30 March and 31 December 2018. It found reasonable grounds to believe that Israeli snipers shot at children, medics and journalists, even though they were clearly recognisable as such. Israel's acting foreign minister said it rejected the findings outright. "The Human Rights Council's Theatre of the Absurd has once again produced a report that is hostile, mendacious and biased against Israel," Israel Katz said. "No-one can deny Israel the right to self-defence and the obligation to protect its citizens and its borders against violent attacks." The commission of inquiry, which was set up by the UN Human Rights Council in May, said on Thursday that more than 6,000 unarmed demonstrators were shot by military snipers at designated protest sites over nine months. It investigated the deaths of 189 Palestinians at the sites on official protest days and found that Israeli forces had killed 183 with live ammunition. Thirty-five of the fatalities were children, while three were clearly marked paramedics, and two were clearly marked journalists, the commission found. Israeli forces also injured 6,106 Palestinians with live ammunition during the same period, according to the commission's data analysis. Another 3,098 were injured by bullet fragmentation, rubber-coated metal bullets or by tear-gas canisters. Four Israeli soldiers were injured at the demonstrations. One Israeli soldier was killed on a protest day but outside the protest sites, the commission said.

May I ask, what made you a supporter of Israel?

Well Done for changing your mind for the better, it hard to do for anyone, and yes they are destroying Israel, as well as many other things

Complicated but basically growing up christian in the USA we are taught to support Israel.

Thank you

Well I guess actually educating yourself a bit the matter easily changes anyone's mind as we realise how much money they spent on PR to hide their decades long occupation and war crimes

he's already said something in a previous show

That was Lulu. Dont you mean 'you're the lady' etc?

Is the song actually having that kind of lyrics? Omg. How painfully inappropriate.... but it is something they now know all about I guess.

@@jackabalas i'm assuming lbc journo's know the truth, blathering o'brien clearly alluded to something in his post-sacking broadcast, then snivelled an excuse for not backing her

It's October Rain. She was booed out by the audience every time she was on stage so far. It's not broadcasted though.

There is no level playing field, Israel is a democracy and therefore should be held to a higher standard.

@@SirAntoniousBlock Israel is a terrorist state not a democracy

​@@SirAntoniousBlockIt is not a democracy. It is an apartheid state. Now banning media just like Russia, China etc.

No

You need to be a member of the European Broadcast Union so Nigeria couldn’t but Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia could if they wanted to

I can confirm that not all Australians are white.

​@@SirAntoniousBlock I get your point but I think there's an implicit "majority" in the initial comment. In this day and age, no country is likely to be exclusively white. However the subtext of that initial comment is that all the participants can be considered white majority countries. That can be debatable depending on which group you count as being white enough. Historically, that definition has fluctuated. Benjamin Franklin didn't consider Germans to be white, deeming them too "swarthy". So while you can make arguments for certain countries not being considered white enough to some, the fact is that the pigment of skin for the majority of people in those participating countries is light enough to be considered white.

@@mohammedsaleh7 I can assure you that Australia is now a very successful multi-cultural society, almost half have at least one parent born overseas and there are non white participants at every level of society including government ministers. It's not perfect of course, indigenous Australians continue to suffer disadvantage in terms of health and job opportunities in remote areas and difficulty of integration because of their tragic history, nowhere on earth is perfect.

@@SirAntoniousBlock yes but like most indigenous folk, they are murdered by the savage colonial settlers.

well, you're very welcome to Portugal ;) we do have the sun and the food in our favour :P

​@@inesmeneses5473 Obrigado Inês! Plenty of wind and rain too where I am in the old hilly heart of the village of Lego de Deus, Eiras, on the outskirts of Coimbra about half an hour´s walk from the main out of town new shopping, distribution and supply (including of construction) centre. Local meats tend to be organic and delicious as is the wine. Artisanal beer is hard to find and needs to be offered much much more, and rice wine could be much more developed here in the Mondego area which grows rice. More river and lake caught fish, caught that day and kept in tanks very briefly and then freshly filleted and served would also add greatly to the food, as would freshly foraged lemons and other fruit. There are near me some lemon and orange and occasionally other types of trees which no-one else bothers to forage and which have great fruit (freshly fallen or directly off a tree). I met one blonde Ukrainian woman with her small children on a bus here (twice), but have never met any other residents who don´t come from the village. Quite different from some places in the Algarve, in the South, for example which have had significant groups of foreign residents (Spanish, French, German, English, etc) all the way back to the late 13th century.

We don't know yet.

Only because their songs are so terrible. 😂

Israel and Australia are both under the European Broadcasting Union. Therefore they can participate.

@@charismahornum-fries691 yeah because they’re majority white, let’s not mince words.

Then why ban Russia?

Your comment makes no sense, neither Russia nor Israel are banned from the UN. Besides, people can still enjoy the song contest without Israel in it.
