Relax, they will add the vote to the agenda of their regular meeting in December. The EBU relies on pro-Netanyahu sponsor Moroccan Oil, but even their manipulations can’t halt a common sense boycott.

According to the government’s own figures only 13,010 people were entered for A-level English last summer, and the number of people taking it is dropping

Year 9 or 9-years-old? I’ve been a government content designer for years and we still argue about this. when I trained for Dutch TV and radio, we were told to aim for the reading age of a 13-year-old.
