I bet the 'Leave' campaign were hoping it would be broadcast the week-end before the referendum.

It sums up the EU perfectly. Petty politics, tactical voting, self-interest and a waste of money.

I'll probably watch it, even though it seems to have been hijacked by the LGBT community in recent years. It wasn't always like that.
I remember audiences of men in black ties and the ladies in gowns, clapping politely at the end of each song.

Gerring' owld you see...
Sounds like democrasies the world over to me.
 
We let Australia in and they send a Korean? :emoticon-0112-wonde

She'll probably do well, it's typical Eurovision type drivel and there's no political reason not to vote for Australia.

Current betting has Russia favourites, then Ukraine, France, Sweden, Armenia and Australia.

We'll come somewhere near the bottom, as we always do nowadays, as the competition has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the performance.

Who is "WE" OLM? The Eurovision entries have nothing to do with the UK.
And didn't the UK send a geriatric old has-been called Englebert Humperdink a couple of years ago?
Yes, she should do well as her actual performance is nothing like that Video I posted or so we have been led to believe.
The UK could have sent that other old geriatric rock star knight currently under police investigation but I guess old Hump was enough for now.

We sent an Aussie in 96

'We' being Europe, not the UK, obviously.

Englebert came second to last, god knows what came last but it must have been absolutely ****ing awful.

Not that it matters, the voting has very little to do with the quality of the artist, we could send Adele and we'd still come near the bottom.

I rather liked last years entry but you finished last but one again I think.
I've never taken it seriously as it appears to be 'pally' nations voting for each other every time.
I think most watch in case there is another "ABBA" appearing.

To be fair the Dutch entry - was it last year? - was a genuinely lovely and charming song and came 2nd, so sometimes it is.

Its just that everyone hates us <laugh>

Australia should only be allowed in if it gives the UK 12 points every year. What did you bastards give us last year?
 
I read the French have swallowed their pride this year and are singing in English. That must hurt.

Outmoded, should have been ditched years ago, it was OK for the less sophisticated tastes of 50 years ago when Sandie Shaw won it. Having said that what a pile of sh--- people watch today with the never ending procession of soaps, talent? contests and reality programmes. TV out, (apart from football).

Lots of people enjoy it, let it live on; personally, I'll nick to the pub to get away from it, or watch a film.

I don't know but we did give you Richard Garcia some time ago but you wouldn't take Harry Kewell AND we supplied your singer in 1996 who had the Number One record in the UK for a few weeks.
I wouldn't laugh - we are famous for "Doing the Bradbury" watch if you dare:

I quite like The Temper Trap to be fair.
