If I am reading this right EU ordinary people have observed both Brexit aftermath & our response to helping Ukraine . . .

And France and Germany's

Where are they going to host it???!

O2 Arena??????

Maybe in a bombed out ruin covered in muddy shell holes
Or if we hold it for them... Birmingham , which is very similar

Hopefully this was televised in the USSR

According to the Russian media they actually won and will be hosting next year's event

[Ace-T]

This feels like ordinary folks of quite a lot of the world showing in a way that was open to them, how much they disagree with what's happening.

Right result.

But the UK entry was a superb second.

[MC Bodge]

Er, they could have dispensed with the many tedious hours of forgettable songs and just given it to that group from Ukraine at 7 pm.

Was the Uk entry a particularly good example of modern Europop?

[V41LEY]

So if the war in Ukraine is still ongoing next year - they’ll have to host it again in 2024 ?
How gutting that must be for SR when the jury’s voted for him but public sentiment goes with the Ukraine.

[rider73]

Boris visits Ukraine and gives them tanks and EU forgives us.... It's that easy!!

[Sir Bagalot]

Didn't realise that Ukraine score 439 out of a possible 468

Until next year.

Caio

I'm now off to Paddy Power to collect my winnings

[bexVN]

The one year we had the best chance to win but we all wanted to show support for Ukraine and I get that

I'm not sure how many EU folk really follow the UK right wing press

[BreakingBad]

To borrow a phrase from the “Mrs” thread, Putin can put that up his @rse and smoke it,

[super7]

£20m to host it…..

[wolfracesonic]

I didn’t catch Germany’s song, was it really crap or were signals being sent?

[madbadger]

Thanks everyone. It has been a fun thread.

[rider73]

BBC don't have film crew for any interview . Nice

[Digger]

I forget - who did Germany give their 12 to ?

[smithyithy]

Great fun. I think the winner was already kinda presumed, but to come second and get the highest jury vote is a great result.

I hope we host nest year's, I defo fancy getting some tickets for a laugh

Not bad to be honest.
