OK. We have actually won the thing the same numbers of times as France and 3 more times than Germany. I really think, in this case, it is the shit songs that is the cause of the (almost) annual failure.
Most of the voting at Eurovision is based on country to country loyalty. The same countries give 12 points to the same allies year after year.

Yes, but our songs are still shit.
Just about all Eurovision songs are shit.
Well let;s put it this way. The BBC has been propping this competition up financially since the 1960s. Without our UK citizens licence fee it would have been extinguished decades ago.
Now that seems familiar, without the UKs tax payers funding, the EU will probably be dead in a few years.

When we've Brexited, will they kick us out of the Eurovision 'Song' Contest? All those in favour......
Don’t be silly the BBC licence fee payer financially underwrites the Eurovision gig, which is why the U.K. entry never has to qualify.
Who would have thought that would happen, UK taxpayers being mugged off by the U.K. establishment in order to give their money away to poorer European countries.
Nice.
Yes, but not shit enough to win Eurovision.

Thats why I voted out................
I hope Mrs. May is quickly made aware of this fantastic bargaining tool she has! Free trade without free movement or a divorce bill or you can kiss goodbye to Eurovision - can't lose!
Thats why I voted out................
Hmmm. Leavers are all old, reactionary, racist ..................... music lovers, then?

Yep, but then some of the pigs walk on two legs.
Why should these countries (including the U.K.) be treated differently to the other competing countries?
Not a great example of European equality...........reinforces the the narrative that in terms of influence many of the nation’s in european project are irrelevant.
Just seen the footage, looked like a typical night round at my place.

There’s got to be some positive come out of Brexit right? This could well be it.

Britain is very special for many reasons..
The English language,commonwealth a much much more stands us right up there unlike other countries.
You can be sure that most in this county certainly won't miss the idiots in Brussels as great Britain is something those idiots would love to destroy.
When have we ever seen eye to eye with the likes of France and Germany?
The future will be far brighter out of that controlling organisation that's for sure !!!!
