It’s not “just” about music, and I agree we can’t win… but we could at least enter a good song! You know, something to show off what we can do.
As for former communist countries… we used to be one of their best allies in the West… we helped “bring them in from the cold”, but now we’ve abandoned them, and based mostly on people hating their people coming to the UK (as invited) to make a life for themselves here. We are hated in return now, understandably.

What’s the point? They all hate us
We might as well just carry on entering pub singers to take the piss
The UK music industry sells tens of billions around the world every year. How much do you reckon Moldova or whichever other donkey that wins will be exporting other than to DJs in gay clubs in Luxembourg?
Loving the Albanian representative’s blazer.
To be fair I thought Russia was one of the better ones this year. But even if I didn’t and I shared a land border with them I’d think about giving them my vote.
Blatantly partisan voting already on show. 😀
Ukraine get my vote (if I could be arsed to vote that is) The fact they have an awesome ratrod in the official video sealed it for me 😀
Loved the silliness of Iceland and Germany too! Used to hate eurovision but now embrace the camp naff-ness of it all.
No points for us from Malta 🤨
Nil points for the UK so far, and deservedly so. Dull.
That fiver's looking safe
My bets looking safe. Should have banged fifty quid on it
At least binners gets his fiver back!
Switzerland was objectively a bit shite surely..
Malta to win on the popular vote
The Swiss song was proper dross. I guess having all the gold helps in times of global strife?
Can’t remember...how much does the “popular vote” change things?
MI6 are all over it for bojo making sure the UK doesn't have to host next year..
Swiss one was utter tosh, I quite liked the Icelandic one..
There goes the FTA with Australia 🤣
Malta to win on the popular vote
Was that the crap Lizzo tribute act?
Good to see Greece and Cyrus are always united.
Iceland have been robbed.
Was that the crap Lizzo tribute act?
Yup - but it is Eurovision...
Public vote will **** things up. We’re still last though even though it wasn’t the worst song. They hate us.
Zero! Blimey
Nil points is like a badge of honour now 😂
I should have stuck fifty quid on it
I’m a fiver up anyway
Tough crowd tonight
Wow.
Wtf Finland go from bottom half to first,. How the hell does scoring work?
I'm loving this voting system 🙂
Yes, Iceland are up..
Spoke too soon,

Clearly neither does anyone else
Bet they wish they hadn't hit the Peroni quite so hard now
Maybe if we enter Iron Maiden next year......
They look so happy. That's fantastic.
Thank goodness Switzerland didn’t win. Surprised Iceland didn’t do any better.
Otherwise what can you do? They hate us.
Hilarious!
Why do we even bother entering a proper song.
We should just stick in some random nonsense as a piss take and be done with the bottom of the table forever more.
Quite liked the Suzi Quatro tribute.

Did we?

Yep, or whitesnake or even sex pistols, as clearly the Italians ripped them off..
Didn't know Royal Blood were Italian 🤷
Glad to see a "rock" song won ... LOL!
Any song but that French mourning song.
We should go through the semis - save a load of angst for some poor Brit singer on the night
Did we?
It wasn’t a bad song. Not great but a normal pop song that you might hear on the radio. Many, objectively, were far worse.
... in I think the bottom three all got a bye into to final
It wasn’t a bad song.
It was so dull I dare you to even remember what it was called, never mind recall a hook, or a line of lyrics.
