Does Britain coming last in the Eurovision Song Contest mean that we are the unliked

Does Britain coming last in the Eurovision Song Contest mean that we are the unliked pigs of Europe ?

Does no one remember how we saved them from the Nazis and created a nuclear deterrent such that they didn't have to become Russian citizens digging holes and filling them in again and eating stale black bread and Vodka ?

I almost feel a Monty Python sketch coming on, "Yes, but what did the Brits ever do for us ... ?".

Not unliked, just incapable of producing a song that is catchy enough for the whole of Europe to like. It's at least 50% public vote now anyway, so tactical voting has all but disappeared.

The German entry was no. 1 in Germany Switzerland & Austria prior to the competition so at least they knew people liked it!

The song was written by a Dane, so the Danes won really.

It was really a vote for who has the strongest economy, the singing was just a freebie

Tactical voting is alive and strong. We have no neighbours. Well, we have Ireland but they don't count.

And yes. Nobody in Europe like us. (And we don't care.)

don't tarnish Scotland's name, they love us over there and people north of the border care very much about the relationship with the rest of europe....

Being voted last means Europe doesn't like our music. Considering what they listen to in euroland, that's a strong endorsement of the UK music scene.

...and getting the English to pay for your education and free prescriptions, I wish Scotland would stop playing the bloody victim in this relationship.

The UK has 80% of the popular music talent in Europe but no artist with any credibility would enter such a naf competition. We had a tulip song and it was badly delivered, they don't like us because we won't join there cosy parties.

That's maybe the case, but Muse, Radiohead and Arctic Monkeys seem to be played to death on Dutch radio.

Bring back Jeux Sans Frontieres - we used to win that a lot.
