    Next year can we send Boris, Mogg and Farage singing 'tomorrow belongs to me' just to troll them! We are clearly going to get barely any votes anyway

    SuRie not getting any sympathy votes so far.

    This is the jury votes is it not? They were cast last night.
    Oh yeah
    Is that true? Not combined yet?
    Yeah, jury vote first, public vote second.
    What happens if the public vote gets the wrong result?
    We’ve had quite enough of experts, thank you.

    Is tonight's Eurovision worse than Brexit ?

    It highlights why Brexit happened.

    Would you seriously vote to join a political union with this?
    Every Eurovision turns me into a Federalist.
    My basic rule is this: I couldn’t ever vote to join up with a country that can’t master basic banter.

    I cringe into my hands annually at the hosting.
    Imagine the Americans running it. WWE meets Superbowl and "commercials" every other song
    Eurovision does have breaks - the BBC just show the "green room" interludes!

    And that stealing a baguette gets you more negative points than stealing a regular loaf of bread, because it is more french.

    Irish don't give any points to the UK!

    Why should it?

    Why not?

    Must be Israel now

    Is this the one where the winner has to host next year's event?
    Yes, and frankly other organisations should adopt the same method for such things - its how they should decide who gets to head the European Council.
    Let's all vote for Australia?
    I meant with an equivalent competition restricted to EU members, but honestly it sure would shake things up!

    My problem with Eurovision is this: the songs from Finland and Israel are crap, and very camp. Cyprus is only marginally better, and way too short. So I don't want to back any of them. But they are also very Eurovision. So I am probably wrong.

    Songs I think are actually good: Finland, Bulgaria, Norway and Australia. And the UK isn't awful.

    Germany and France aren't bad either. But I don't think the German one is distinctive enough, and the French sign in French, which doesn't help them much.

    Signing is an innovative approach to a music contest
