I don’t agree with your judgment on the quality of the Ukraine entry, Dave, but I completely understand the sentiments and motives of those who voted for it and, in view of the huge amount of apparently-politically-motivated voting that has gone on for many years in the contest, I have no criticism of the result. The contest provided the perfect opportunity for Joe and Jane Public to tell Ukraine that they are with them in their battle, and to stick two fingers up at Putin and his band of thugs.

It was the expected result, and I’m very happy with it.
