" #Eurovision viewing parties in #England cancelled over Israel’s participation - High-profile parties including London’s biggest viewing event called off amid ongoing offensive in #Gaza ... Viewing parties in London and Brighton have been called off, while campaigners in Bristol have called for venues continuing with Eurovision events to be picketed.

Crystal, a drag performer who had been due to host a party for 800 people in east London, said they had cancelled the event in protest at Israel’s inclusion, which they said crossed a “red line”.

"I am someone who has my whole life been concerned about #Palestinian solidarity,” Crystal said. “But like many of us I have been more and more energised by what we’ve seen over the last few months.”
