It comes after the UK’s entry Look Mum No Computer came last in May’s final, scoring just one point.

    Brits need to chill the fuck out when it comes to Eurovision. It’s a contest where you’re judged by the community, so when you’re routinely dicks to your neighbours you’re gonna lose… a lot. It has very little to do with the act on stage.

      How has the UK been routinely dicks? We never won when we were in the EU either.

      It was always seen as a bit naff, and no credible artists ever wanted anything to do with it.

        The UK/bbc is also one of the major funders so it gets an automatic place in the final. So merit is not nessassery in the opening.

        Afghanistan and Iraq? Already dominating music industry? Being rubbish at languages because they all speak ours? Even in the EU, we were “Extrawurst” all the time. Denominating finance (partly with dark money).

        Even before Brexit, we made ourselves unpopular.
