Eurovision 2021

Each country makes up it's top 10 from the public vote and then they are awarded points, 1 point for 10th place, up to 8 for 3rd place and then 10 and 12 for the top 2.

The UK got zero points, the only country to do so, both from the juries and the public. I think it's time we pulled out of this shit now.

They can fund Eurovision themselves.

we should have done it a looong time ago as soon as Brexit was done...

Having said that, the Greek and Cypriot singers were both stunners.

Mind you if Scotland were to become independant we'd have two entries, as long as the Proclaimers aren't involved...

At least the German entry had the sense to give them the big finger

Which is rarer, zero points from the juries or from the public?

That went well then

No, I think you'll find you would still just have one entry

Since televoting was introduced in 2016:

Zero points from the juries - previously 2 + 1 this year = 3
Zero points from the public - previously 3 + 4 this year = 7

If you include the voting for the semi-finals, the above numbers rise from 3 to 4 and from 7 to 11.

There was a last minute Irish entry last night from Dougal and Father Ted with a song called 'My Lovely Horse'..... and it still beat us.
