With Eurovision 2026 approaching and five countries boycotting in protest, Bimini tackles the myth that entertainment can ever be apolitical — reminding us that Eurovision was literally invented in 1956 to bring a war-torn Europe together through song. Also - it's Trans History Week, marking the 6th of May 1933 — the day Nazi students and brownshirts ransacked Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin and burned its library to the ground. Bimini draws the line between then and now: Jewish people being attacked on the streets of London in 2026, synagogues firebombed, the UK terror threat level at severe. This episode refuses to let you pick a side between caring about Palestinians and caring about Jewish people, because the lesson of 1933 is that the same forces come for the same communities. But joy is also the discipline. Bimini finds power in people who refuse to be erased, in community, in Magnus Hirschfeld dying in exile on his birthday 91 years ago, in Marty Davies building Trans History Week, and in a kid from Great Yarmouth who got off the train in 2012 with a fake Louis Vuitton bag and didn't know any of this was coming.
