Why doesn't Europe love us? (the UK)

Well how awful was that Eurovision? Whats so blinking wrong about us? Scooch we're that bad compared to some. So why do we have no friends apart from Ireland and Malta (I now love Malta). I mean what about all these Eastern European countries who keep moving in, like Poland, good enough to house people but not good enough to vote for. They all vote for there mates and never mind us.

I have to suggestions;

Anonymity they don't tell us who's who, so the votes are for who they like not who they are chums with.

or

We don't go in as the United Kingdom but as England, Scotland and Northan Ireland, and maybe the Isle of Man too, then we can vote for each other, like everyone else does.

I never watch the songs only the voting, its by far the best bit    The only music I saw was the mid-show bit which was probably the best act all night.
The only reason they let us compete is the money they get from the BBC.

[Morningangel-Iola]

Yes, they'll take our money ok. Mind your Terry Wogans comments are much more fun than the acts.

Thing is we can still qualify for next years compertition even if we got zero points lOL we are part of the big 4 (UK/France/Germany/Spain) all of who have automatic qualification.  As for the voting that is a joke no other way to say it.  I have to agree with M.O>B. the mid show entertainment was the best part of the show, it realy was good    Now as for Mr Wogan and his comments    I love him


 

[Morningangel-Iola]

Yes part of the big four that get in because they hand over lots of money, just to be laughed at (although Frances...)

[jediknight]

well, at least malta like us

[Morningangel-Iola]

Yes, and I shall be eat maltesers as a thank you

A little late to comment I know but I really do think it is time for us to pull out.  This is not just sour grapes but with the number of new countries that have suddenly appeared who are sticking together like glue has got beyond a joke.  As Mr Wogan pointed out not one Western European country made it past the elimination stage (other than those who qualified from last year).  I think the BBC should spend our money on other things now and call it quits.
