At the London Eurovision Party, some of this year's entrants and a former winner address how politics is affecting this year's contest.
It is a strange year for Europop connoisseurs, conflicted over whether they should even be watching this year's Eurovision. On social media, Israel's inclusion has fuelled talk of boycotts from those who oppose the country's actions in Gaza. The diplomacy of it all is a tricky one for UK entrant Olly Alexander who, while performing his song Dizzy where he can, has been limiting his press interviews.
Finland's Windows95man has also put his name to it. An alter ego of Finnish DJ Teemu Keisteri, Windows95man has had to field uncomfortable questions on the matter, saying: 'Politics are everywhere... but we want to focus our show... I want to focus that joy and happiness.' For some fans and venues, ignoring the wider politics of the situation is problematic. The Rio Cinema in Dalston, east London, has said it won't hold its annual screening event this year.
