So, apparently this whole thing being hosted in Liverpool was an extra fuck you to one of the places in the UK most struggling to provide for its poor and vulnerable populations. Someone I know from there said this:
They pulled all of the non essential funding that we use for stuff like getting people with no food/water/electricity
You know the essential life giving stuff
Then barraged all of social care with “we appreciate your patience , as you know this is amazing for the city blah blah”
Meanwhile social works are buying food for people who can’t get to the shops or don’t have anyone
And we can’t claim it back
But you know
Eurovision lol
This on top of Liverpool recovering from some big embezzlement scandal from a mayor or councillor or something, they’ve been on a knife-edge since covid and this just added to their problems.
Yes but can you imagine some poor individual watching the thing, seeing Mae Muller perform a song about how she was sad but instead of being a grumpy wumpy she wrote a song, and feeling empowered? Imagine how much energy that must give.
