Hope this is readable. Its an info graphic of social links and voting patterns. People say its political but I think its more a question of common cultural links and heritage. In this respect the UK is always going to be something of an outlier because we are an island.

Wish we could join Europe again 😞

I am surprised that Boris isn't claiming the credit for our second place. But on the other hand, anything with Euro..... in the title is difficult for Brexiters because their globes and maps have a space where Europe is.

Apparently Georgia have sought clarification about why their jury result was not accepted. The say they awarded12 points to Ukraine, but the aggregated result gave 12 points to the UK.

Germany's song was great! I can't believe it was last

I love that people are still arguing that Europe hates us.
I was in Turin, and as soon as people knew we were British they started singing Spaceman at us. They loved the song. LOVED it.
That's it. That's the whole story.

I'm a remainer and I think that Eurovision is political and remains political. We are respected at the moment as we have been giving Ukraine a lot of military hardware. Did the Ukrainian jury really like our song the best or were they feeling more positively towards the UK anyway or want to demonstrate that close relationship?
Every year I watch it and think why do I bother with this? It's always frustrating.
