Wait - the UK is part of #eurovision? That wasn't part of the divorce?
@jerry I imagine the Europeans will continue to enjoy the annual British outrage that they didn’t win. :)
@Tattered @jerry oh no, we’re resigned to the fact that the BBC will always enter someone crap, or at best tepidly-competent (Sam Ryder being a 1-in-30-year exception). We *are* outraged that the jury voting shoed in a competent-but-uninspiring winner against the clear wishes of the public. Arguably the “industry favourite” version of blatant political voting (all the Balkan and Scandi countries used to vote for the others in their bloc).
@richh @jerry I’m glad that the Brexit loving press will be expressing outrage in favour of Finland. ;)
@Tattered @jerry Ah yes, well we can’t be held responsible for the Murdoch/Republican-owned outrage merchants!
@richh @jerry I’ve been thinking about how our “bloc” doesn’t hang together. I guess there’s no escaping history, even in Eurovision.
