RTÉ pisses off Zionist Glinner by showing Father Ted instead of Eurovision

This weekend sees the return of the genocide supporting Eurovision song contest. Whilst Israel is still allowed to take part broadcasters such as RTÉ have announced they will not be boycotting. And the alternative viewing has got certain zionists spitting with rage.

As the Canary’s Robert Freeman reported, instead of the final of the child murdering supporting contest, Irish broadcaster RTÉ will show a rerun of the Father Ted episode A Song for Europe.

As Freeman wrote:

For anyone unfamiliar, that’s the one where Fathers Ted and Dougal try to enter the contest and end up producing one of the worst songs ever written. Nonetheless, they still get chosen by Ireland’s selection panel, who want to ensure the country doesn’t win, thus avoiding the costly business of hosting the event.

That will also be something Ireland doesn’t have to worry about, as well as not having hundreds of thousands of deaths on its conscience.

Ireland announced back in December that it would not be taking part in the contest while Israel remained a part. At the time, RTÉ said:

RTÉ feels that Ireland’s participation remains unconscionable given the appalling loss of lives in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis there which continues to put the lives of so many civilians at risk. RTÉ remains deeply concerned by the targeted killing of journalists in Gaza during the conflict and the continued denial of access to international journalists to the territory.

Ireland isn’t the only one: Iceland, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain are also refusing to participate. Spain and Slovenia will also not be showing the event. Spain will be running its own musical special, while Slovenia will show Palestinian documentaries. 

Eurovision swerve: Zionist Terfs apoplectic with rage

The announcement of the alternative viewing in Ireland has got one particular bigot all up in arms – Father Ted’s creator Graham Linehan.

For those unfamiliar, the former comedy writer now spends his time harassing trans people and those who support them on Twitter. He was momentarily banned from Twitter after his transphobic tweets saw him arrested.

You’d think after hatred already made his family leave him Glinner would give it a rest, but if anything he’s only gotten worse.

The most divorced man ever, is also, as it turns out, a massive Zionist. Last October, he was part of a Twitter campaign that spread disinformation about newly released israeli hostages. Since then, when he’s not lying about trans people, he’s lying about Palestine.

Glinner took to, you’ve guessed it, Twitter to let the shit flow

Perhaps the main reason for Glinner’s disapproval, though, is that despite being the creator, he won’t make any money from the repeat.

Nope. Not since the third repeat.

While many are criticising RTÉ’S decision to air a show created by a known Zionist, airing a show that will make him no money and have him apoplectic with rage for days is an absolute chef’s kiss move by the Irish broadcaster.
