I'm not surprised UK did not win:

• The song was crap. It was locked in the past because it was a typical Waterman product - exactly like all his other hits in the 1980's



• The singer was not the best one. I saw the show where they chose the singer and he was no way the best.



• The Eurovision song contest has become highly political and UK has no friends in Europe because of our governments' lukewarm attitude to Europe generally.

Added to that. It was reported earlier that even Pete Waterman did not have much faith in the song and he wrote the d****d thing.

I have been out at a folk club this evening - much better way to spend an evening.
