Eurovision 2021

I think i know the answer to this but i ask anyway , what do you guys think is likely to happen first UK winning Eurovision or England winning the World Cup.

I'd want the contest to say. It's united resistance to the media presented for years including this year.

Maybe a change of direction is needed. No more everyone across Europe hold hands stuff.

Next year we need Nigel Farage and the flying Brexiteers singing the theme from Dad's army.

Your money would be better wasted on backing Rammy for Prime Minister!

This is of course a complete lie. France might be a bit tricksy , but "everybody hates us, we don't care" is the sort of small-minded drivel that you are told to believe as true.

What is truer is that people in Europe can see what the UK thinks of them - which from the top down, is pretty dismissive and sneering. It's been decades since the UK tried to rub along with Europe positively.

Our song was OK, and pretending it was a poor performance Wot Dun It (cf. 2003) is heroically pessimistic.

Doddle, I said it was a lie. I said I didn't agree with it.

That certainly didn't happen this time, apart from Greece and Cyprus giving each other maximum points and Moldova getting a maximum from Romania. Neighbourly love seemed generally in short supply, especially in the former Soviet block where the top 2 countries in the voting, Russia and Lithuania, received very few of their votes from their neighbours. Italy got substantially more votes from that block than they gave to each other. Scandinavia is another alleged voting block, but Norway only received 5 jury votes out of a potential 36 from Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

I know it didn't happen. That's what I said - I said I don't believe that scenario is true.

Then I agree with you.

I love you really, the more sane people around here the better
