Eurovision should have a Palestinian entrant

The Eurovision Song Contest logo is seen on a smartphone and on a PC screen.

Creative Community for Peace, which opposes a cultural boycott, argues that “unifying events such as singing competitions are crucial to help bridge our cultural divides” (Gene Simmons, Helen Mirren, Boy George sign open letter supporting Israel’s inclusion in Eurovision, 15 February). That being the case, Eurovision should include a Palestinian entrant; if it doesn’t, we will draw the obvious conclusion.

• In Lewisham, we also have fine work by William Mitchell (London mural by key postwar artist under threat of demolition, 15 February). Our two outdoor murals are in need of restoration, having been exposed to the elements for over 60 years, and we are fundraising. To help, email Foxboroughtra@gmail.com

• It’s a bit mean to include Angela Eagle but not her twin sister, Maria Eagle (Birthdays, 17 February).
