Madrid

Other times Madrid came up

1. When the Eurovision Song Contest first started Britain decided we didn't want to take part in this Eurovision Song Contest So we decided to have our own British Song Contest British popular songs and which was won by Dennis Lotus who was born in South Africa The thing that I don't really understand about Eurovision and I think it is bigger here than it is in Britain But it's the constant insistence every year that it's not political It should never be political and it's just about the music when it is so patiently political I don't understand why everyone doesn't embrace that So they're a bit like everything about the history of Eurovision in 2009 Though it was just after the Russia-Georgia conflict and Georgia had to withdraw its entry because the organizers had told them They had to change their lyrics and the title of the entry song which was we don't want to put in which is a very unveiled reference to Putin so yeah, and then it's back and forth all the time Yeah, there was um, it's when it first came it was supposed to bring Europe together But Turkey pulled out in 1976 because Greece were taking part, but then Greece pulled out in 1975 because Turkey were taking part Greece sent to Ireland in 2008 because they mentioned Macedonia and they sent to Finland in 2007 for being satanic But then Finland sent to Israel in the same year for mentioning nuclear weapons and this year Israel's embassy Complaints of the Netherlands after they pardoned their Eurovision winner and Iran moved all of its diplomats from Azerbaijan in 2012 and protested it hosting the contest even though Iran's nothing to do with Eurovision And when Israel won in 1978 the TV show in Jordan told viewers that Belgium had won And in 1973 Portugal arrested the writer of its own song because they thought it wasn't fascist enough We're all friends together Do you know Salvador Dali was involved with the Eurovision song?

2. Gold is more valuable. Gold smuggling is still more valuable. If you want to set up a crime syndicate, drugs are still the way to go. If you're a small-timer, cardboard is the way. There was a thing in Madrid in 2018 to 2019. This is even pre-COVID. Half the cardboard that people were putting out for recycling was stolen. I would say, is that a problem?

3. That's not the way to deal with crime, is for the victims to adapt. You have to have hard, tough, rough justice. for these crooks. Yeah? Madrid, the city of Madrid, where this was happening, they would export it to Southeast Asia for pulping, so they're stealing other people's cardboard. I feel like there's not enough anger in the room about this. I just kind of feel like there might be other problems.
