Eurovision 2023 to take place in the UK, broadcasting union announces

Jun 17 2022

Earlier today the Eurovision Broadcasting Union announced that, due to ongoing security issues in Ukraine following the Russian invasion, next year’s song competition will be held in the United Kingdom.

Despite it being a tradition for the winner to host the song contest the following year, the current climate has made it impossible for Ukraine to host next year’s edition and thus, this year’s runner up, the United Kingdom, will host Eurovision 2023.

The Facebook statement read: “Following objective analysis, the Reference Group, the ESC’s governing board, has with deep regret concluded that, given the current circumstances, the security and operational guarantees required for a broadcaster to host, organise and produce the Eurovision Song Contest under the ESC rules cannot be fulfilled by UA:PBC (Ukraine’s national broadcaster).”

The statement concluded that it is the Eurovision Broadcasting Union’s full intention that Ukraine’s win be reflected in next year’s shows.

Men’s penis sizes are shrinking & it could greatly affect humankind, scientist warns

Jun 17 2022

Award-winning reproductive epidemiologist Dr. Shanna Swan has noted that as society continues to develop, more and more men are suffering from increased rates of erectile dysfunction and babies are being born with smaller penises.

In her recent publication ‘Count Down’, Dr. Swan noted that microplastics and pollutants are affecting the development of babies and causing what she called a ‘feminisation of society’.

Such a revelation may be more worrying that one would assume because as penis sizes continue to shrink, sperm counts in Western countries have also dropped by over 50 percent over to past 40 or 50 years. Such an issue points to a global existential crisis, with toxic chemicals in food packaging and the sort affecting the production of hormones.

Maltese grandparents should be paid for looking after grandchildren, Junior Minister proposes

Jun 17 2022

During a recent address by Parliamentary Secretary for Equality Rebecca Buttigieg, it was stated that grandparents should receive some form of compensation by the state for looking after their grandchildren.

Buttigieg stated that grandparents have taken on a more crucial role with the fast-pace nature of modern life, going on to highlight the fact, during house visits, many parents praised benefits like free child care, free school transport and scrapped exam fees.

Reiterating such sentiments in a Facebook post earlier today, Buttigieg argued that “with the lowest rate of unemployment in history, the help received from grandparents in children’s upbringing is indispensable. That’s why I believe that we should start discussions on whether or not financial aid should be given to recognise their service towards a stronger society.”
