ONLY a quarter of Scots voters have said they feel safer having nuclear weapons based on the Clyde, according to a new opinion poll. The latest survey from James Kelly asked people the question: “The UK Government argues that its nuclear weapons protect the public due to a ‘deterrent’ effect. However, others argue that the presence of nuclear weapons on the Clyde puts the public in greater danger by making the area a target for nuclear attacks, and by creating a risk of serious accidents. “Do you personally feel more safe or less safe due to the presence of nuclear weapons on the Clyde?”
Belarusâs president, Alexander Lukashenko, whose regime has been sanctioned by the EU and the US over repression and violence against protesters who claim last Augustâs election was rigged to extend his 27-year rule, had nevertheless described the EBUâs decision to ban the country last month as âpoliticisedâ.
Curran said that the EBU had been clear on what it needed to do after taking advice from country experts over the lyrics of the songs proposed by the Belarusian public service broadcaster, BTRC.
A first song submitted by BTRC, I Will Teach You, was found to have included âsubliminal political undertones and meaningsâ, including the line âI will teach you to toe the lineâ.
