Sir Terry Wogan is reported as saying that he may step down from the farce that is called The Eurovision Songcontest. In a year where we learn that Cliff Richard was done out of winning by General Franco we see one of the best UK entries in years reduced to last place.
Since the voting switched from a studio panel to a money grabbing phone-in we have seen the program, often seen as a joke, reduced to a total sham. The question has to be asked does the BBC have to waste license payers monies to finance this night of torture?
Sir Terry is reported as saying
"this is no longer a music contest,
Russia were going to be the political winners from the beginning."
He told viewers:
"I think it's tremendously disappointing from the point of view of the United Kingdom.
Andy Abraham gave, I think, the performance of his life with a song that certainly deserved far more points than it got when you look at the points that Spain got, that Bosnia-Herzegovina got - some really ridiculous songs."
BBC please take note, stop wasting our money......
