The Eurovision Song Contest, being held in Liverpool in May, will get £10m from the UK government, it has been announced.
It will be spent on operational costs like security and visas, as well as making sure the event “showcases Ukrainian culture”.
The UK government doesn’t have any money. You and I will be providing this piece of generosity whether we like it or not. It’s what normal people would call theft.
How much does The Big Man get?
I hope that they have Mrs. Zelinskyy (maybe a few “y”s short.) demonstrating her culture from whichever 5 Star hotel she is slumming it in. The Beeb, the FO, sorry FCO (more tactful) and their security will just have to slum it in the same gite.
I do not think that 9 million will be enough.
Everybody dressed in formal green sweatshirts.
I won’t miss that.
I won’t watch it and I won’t miss it.
Boom bang a bang seems strangely apt.
Given that the winning country usually hosts the next years cultural feast, it might at least be worth an each way on the strangulated caterwauling that will be presented as the UK entry.
After all, lumbering the euro whores with the grotesque orgy of mediocrity might mean the jaundiced ringpiece flag can be draped on screens for a few hours next year.
“Showcase ukraian culture” oh dear!
Well only a few months left to try and educate the presenting vegetables as to where ukraine actually is.
Britain only came second because everyone knew that all the Ukranian entry had to do was recite the Kyiv phone book and they would win. So, a patsy needed to be found as no way could Ukraine host the contest at the moment. Who could the rest of Europe choose to waste a shed load of money on a non-event? Well,that place 20 odd miles from France, governed by a bunch of numpties, who will never realise what was happening, will do. It was so obvious.
