They could have just sung ‘Twinkle, Twinkle little star’ and they would have won! Blind Freddie could have seen that!
Yeah like nobody saw that coming, Eurovision song contest has no credibility it's not a contest anymore.
So Yemen and Syria for next year, eh?
I'm cringing so much I'll need a Zantac...
And how did that famous European country Australia do,,you the know the one who is a part of the EU!! Australia not Austria.. Eurovision is shyte
The latest nail in the Eurovision coffin.
Putin must be fuming
Thats not news everyone knew they would win. How come your not reporting on the far right neo nazi battalion in the Ukraine . Far right shit is your favourite subject why are you ignoring it?
I am Shocked........Seriously rubbish given top slot to appease .......
Eurovision just killed itself.
Predicted by NoAgenda podcast weeks ago.
They could have done better and lett Pussy riots win. Pop is supporting them as well as US democrats
Why even bother with the contest? Insulting and disrespectful for every other performer and the time, money & effort they put in.
Right, I'm sure this was all about the music.
Piecemeal rubbish
Could of farted into the microphone and won😑
Propaganda and 40 billion gotta get you something.
No shock there then
Was it ever going to be any other country? Virtue signalling is losing any pretence of value it ever had.
Yeah, that was always likely to happen. Politics is usually what determines eurovision results.
Nobody saw this coming.
Were they actually the best or was it a sympathy vote
