Not terribly surprising really. Plus we do enter absolute bilge.
Yep. We produce some of the best music in the world yet we can't field anyone that isn't a joke. People who, as Mr Norton put it, turn up with their mum and nan. Nice guys don't come first.

Well that's Europe's televised, musical, care in the community over for another year.

Last place. Half the points of the next lowest score. Normality is maintained.

Next stop the Brexit Party winning the EU elections, Boris Johnson for PM, and a no-deal Brexit.........

This competition is a joke, full of freak show and circus acts. Our song wasn't actually that bad.

And Madonna sounded like st.
4 hours of TV summed up in 2 lines.

The UK got a worse reception than those guys waving the palestinian flag. Graham Norton clearly didn't see that, he commented that the latest results weren't going down well but it was another political protest.

The UK song wasn't dire, holy st Germany and Greece were terrible. Or do we seem to pick songs the UK likes, but don't go down well with the rest of europe?

They really stuck it to the Swedes, I thought that was a bit cruel.

But the highlight of the night was the Palestinian protest. Had to happen!!

The only way we'll win is when Geraldine McQueen is our entry, supported by two up two down.

None of our established acts want to do Eurovision as they feel it will end their careers, so each year we send average songs with inexperienced singers. This coupled with the political backdrop we cannot be surprised we fail miserably each year. That said I didn't think ours was that bad this year to deserve last place.

The last time we did take it seriously, we ended up 5th (2009). That song was co-written by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Diane Warren.

We dont want to win, wtf is it with the Brexit posts and st because we didnt win a singing competition ffs.

The while point of 15 years of PH Eurovision threads is us all taking the piss, we dont want the uk to win we want the hilarity of a bewildered Europe trying to find a harmony amongst themselves via songs.

Its fking hilarious and long may it continue and by God I hope we come last taking the piss every fking time
