    Has the MP questioning it (I couldnt see the name at a skim read of the article) considered that the BBC don’t WANT the UK to win it ? It would cost them money to host it that they don’t wish to allocate. That way they can spend more money on political shows featuring Reform and reality shows featuring girls from Essex with big boobs and no brains.

    (I don’t pay for a TV licence any more for this reason anyway)

      You can send a lot if decent entries that have low chances to win but get respectable scores though. It takes effort and dedication to stick as much to the bottom of the barrel as most recent UK entries

        Yeah, that’s true, but that would require the BBC exec in charge putting some effort in to make sure it’s an “okay ish but not great” entry, otherwise they risk accidentally winning it. Much easier to pick the worst act and slope off to the pub.
