The UK at Eurovision
Good morning to you, wherever you are.
I start my days 24 hours in the past so was catching up with yesterday's episode, with the talk of Eurovision. Burnie questioned why the UK even bothers with Eurovision and Ashley cites that our best point tally was 47 points in 1967. Ironically, 47 points in 1967 won Eurovision for us, and we've since won it four more times, most recently in 1997 with 227 points. Our highest points tally was in 2022 with 466 points, where we came second behind Ukraine.
I'm not a "stop getting Eurovision wrong!" mega-fan or patriotic in any way, I think I'm more just befuddled that either I've missed something in the broader discussion, or Ashley was done dirty by Wikipedia - which I also used. I have seen no other post regarding this (apart from Israel's involvement with Eurovision) so I'm thinking it's the former.
Anyway, I should probably go back to work. Will catch today's episode tomorrow when it will be yesterday.
P.S. I'm not sure the UK can boycott Eurovision, as we are apparently the biggest financial contributor to the European Broadcasting Union.
