Italy.
Uk last. Again.
With zero points from both "professional" panels and the public vote. Again.

Why do we bother?

Aparrently the UK pumps a shedload of money into the Eurovision system (Not the song contest) which is why we are always in the final without going through the two heats. Same for a few others - I think France, Germany, Spain and Italy. Maybe 1 or 2 others, I'm not sure.

[Parti Mellow]

That's sounds familiar, pumping a shedload of money in and getting very little in return.

Gary Madine (or any forward who have signed for us actually)

Apart from Kieffer

[surge]

Remember, all the UK result means is that we didn’t make top 10 in any jury or public rankings. Being 10/26 gets you a point, being 11th place out of 26, or below gets you zero

The Poland jury ranked the UK 11th - still that's 0 points.
Other juries:
Bulgaria 14th
Czech Republic 13th
Italy 18th
Latvia 15th
Malta 15th
North Macedonia 16th
Norway 14th
Russia 17th
Serbia 14th
Spain 16th
Sweden 17th
Ukraine 18th

We get automatic access to the final because he are founder members of the competition as are the others that also got automatic access.

[Madassa]

Maybe we should have entered this little ditty.

Brexit revenge?

[bobh]

Brexit revenge?

Hardly.
Europeans have hated the Uk (in this competion) for twenty years

Play ja ja ding dong

Don't repeat that too often, some of our dull ***** will think it's a new South Korean signing.

We must have a vote too leave ,what could we build with the money we save ?

[WJ99mobile]

We either go for it with a big name or good song or we completely take the piss

But whoever’s choosing/commissioning these songs needs their heads checked

[willo1927]

When did they all start miming? Haven’t seen it for a while, is that because of Covid or what they do now? The Italian rock band’s guitars weren’t even plugged in ! And the voting system makes no sense when Italy can gain more votes than everyone else put together, why bother with the jury voting for nearly an hour. Totally bonkers

Plugged in??

[DubaiDai]

Plugged in??

The Italians thought they were quite a heavy rock band.
They all reminded me of a group of 14 year olds who got a band together for the school contest.

My point was guitars haven't been plugged in for 20 years or more
