Last minute news: United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal and Switzerland reportedly withdraw from Grand Final 

To be honest wouldn't be great loss for Europe if  were to withdraw - a friend who saw the performance in the semi-final described it as "watching a lewd act in a grotty public toilet"

It reminded me (and others as well, I saw later) of the bathroom in the opening part of the first Saw movie

It was sort of the same as that Polish thing from a few years ago, with the lady and the stick

Apparently there has been no contact with the camera person after the incident (despite attempts to clear things up, she refused). So from what we now know, this seems to have been the situation:

 

- Joost Klein performed in the semi's, then walked off stage rushing to the green room

- There were deals not to film him (apparently a common thing) on the way there

- Against those deals, he was being filmed

- Repeated requests to stop filming were ignored

- Joost then reacted with a 'threatening move' towards the camera (whatever that may be, perhaps a slight swing of the fist, but didn't hit anyone, possibly touched the camera)

- Camera person complained about it, then quickly walked away and refused any contact to clear things up

- Police was called because of that and in the end it was enough to disqualify him

 

What the actual hell.

Sooooooo he defended himself and that was a huge red flag for the EBU?????

 

Anyone who's gotten in deep trouble for defending themselves know this all too well
