Eurovision Song Contest 2008

I accidentally watched a bit of Eurovision last night - it was so embarrassingly camp and awful, I just couldn’t stop watching it. What a load of nonsense though - it’s all political.

As the have your say says:

A total waste of time, money, energy and resources.

Actually, that description could be aligned to pretty much anything beginning with “Euro”…

It’s just representative of the whole EU thing - the UK should love everyone, but everyone hates the UK!
Don’t you get it now, you wibbling Europhiles? We’re forced to be the dustbin of Europe, but no-one
wants their rubbish back

Good old Terry Wogan for making his point though…

He told viewers: “I think it’s tremendously disappointing from the point of view of the United Kingdom.
“Andy Abraham gave, I think, the performance of his life with a song that certainly deserved far more points than it got when you look at the points that Spain got, that Bosnia-Hercegovina got - some really ridiculous songs.”
Sir Terry said his producer, Kevin Bishop, was stepping down after this year’s contest.
“He and I have to decide whether we want to do this again,” he said.
“Indeed, western European participants have to decide whether they want to take part from here on in because their prospects are poor.”

Had to add the below clip - our classic entry from 2003 - just listen!
