Our acts have been w**k for years in fairness. But we all know Eurovision voters love weird shit like this.

Harsh to criticise her for being fat, and her song promoted a positive message of inclusion. I thought the winning entry was easily the catchiest song, it's all about opinions of course but I did really like all of the top 3.

We deserved better, poor SuRie certainly deserved not to have her mic nicked off her by a t**t, but her song was good and her performance excellent but Europe really doesn't like us so we'll never do well again. I do wonder why we continue to stump up the cash to be in the Big 5 because we never get anything out of it.

One of the best things about being away this weekend is missing all the Eurovision nonsense. It's gradually become more of a farce over the last few years.

I managed to miss it all despite going nowhere more glamorous than Thorne.

Moral of Story ? Change Channels when it comes on !

Compared to those days when it used to be really serious and important?

Personally, I struggle to understand the ingratitude of the Euro public. I mean. WE won the f**king War for them. You’d think the least they could do would be to suck us off by voting for whatever sack of shite we put up on Eurovision every year, wouldn’t you?

Me thinks the war may be forgotten now BST. Norway who traditionally give us points gave us nothing, and the Dutch gave 12 points to the Germans! Thought they hated them!

I wouldn't vote for the turgid dogshit songs we continually enter year after year without apparently learning anything from their inevitable failure. I really don't understand why people expect other countries to vote for them either!

    I enjoyed it purely for the comedy value...The best song was Hungarys metal band but they were down with us..However we could have the best song and we wouldn't win..

Why don't we have a referendum to decide whether to remain in the contest or not?

I'm sure if we opt out our music will survive.

Just f**king put Napalm Death in it or something. Our entries are always these design-by-committee songs that no one really likes or remembers, but when you're listening to it it sounds nice and you can tune it out. People always defend Eurovision by saying it's just a bit of fun - when's the last time one of our songs was fun? They all feel like they've been written by middle aged blokes in a boardroom somewhere.

Scooch or whatever they're called was a good fun entry. Pretty sure it finished dead last too.

You've hit the nail on the head there. Congratulations!

Apparently, it was initially thought that the UK had won the contest. Then it was discovered that Diane Abbott had done the counting.
