Time to end the farce and leave the EBU, otherwise it will just become(not that it isn't already) year upon year of humiliation. Although we take part it is quite obvious that we will never return to the heady heights of 1997 again until people stop voting for the performance and sing and stick to the song a la The Voice.

The EBU are the European boxing union. They have nothing to do with Eurovision, as a nation we are far better at a punch up than a sing song.

I am pretty sure it is the European Broadcast Union.

They had a recount and reduced his total to 11.
Probably because the BBC challenged their authority by asked for a recount.

It's only the Belarus jury vote that was recounted. The biggest loser was Israel which lost 12 pts, but it didn't affect their placing.

Good. I hope it's a step towards us not competing (where's Boris to tell us Brexit will free us from this silly crap?)
