Our Licence money wasted -again (Eurovision)
 
Why is it that the BBC waste so much money on yet another competition.

Yes, l am talking about the policital Eurovision Song Conest, which is so rigged its turning into a farce.

Yet again we are going to finish in the bottom five - by the looks of it. Total waste of out licence money.:mad:

I am shocked that anyone still watches it, we have been more or less locked out of it for years. Its always the same group of countries that vote for each other and has been like that since the eastern European countries joined.

There are 7 countries below us, plus the diddy countries that didn't get through the qualifiers, so not a bottom 5 finish.

Ireland would have been better entering "My lovely horse"

I posted this towards the end of the show, At least Bonnie done much better than anyone else.

But, this show is so rigged by the countries stick together and therefore this should be scrapped, as we could spend thousands on each year and stuill not have a chance.

Do you also think we shouldn't enter the World Cup, as we haven't won that in nearly 50 years....

How much of it is actual Anti-English/British sentiment or is it simply pro certain countries? Which means we get left out of all of those groupings of countries.

First year I've watched the whole thing. Enjoyed it and voted.

Some good beaver performing in it this year. I'd smash the living daylights out of half of them.

I always wonder why Israel is in it as it is not in Europe


I haven't watched it in years - it's a load of rubbish - people are like sheep watching this dross

I think it's something to do with the areas of the world the Euro Sat TV falls to - which apparently includes Israel.
