Stage invasion

During her performance of the song at the grand final in Lisbon on 12 May, SuRie’s microphone was taken by a stage invader, who then yelled into the microphone "all you Nazis of the UK media, we demand freedom", and was arrested shortly afterwards. She was given the opportunity to perform again by the EBU but declined.

gollark: Operators meaning?
gollark: Unfortunately, the P2P bit is proving quite hard, and will probably take ages.
gollark: I also have a skynet/modem relay on SC, so it's backwards-compatible, if you ignore reply channels which nobody likes.
gollark: Stop with the metadebate, it helps nobody.
gollark: The "p2p" would basically just consist of "nodes pass on messages to other nodes".
