Much debate about avoiding Eurovision content but, if you found yourself channel hopping this week, it was inescapable.

Bargain Hunt Eurovision Special
Pointless Celebrities Eurovision Special
Hit List Eurovision Special

The list goes on. Cheryl Baker hasn't been as busy in years. I half expected her to pop up in Monty Don's garden.

Aren’t they all on BBC 1?

That's a remake of The Vanishing I wasn't expecting.

I personally think the Evangelival republican / tory tendency are missing a trick here.

I've personally felt little compulsion to have sex with other men.
But if I did, I think the associated music would be enough to consign me to the Ted Heath life choice.

FFS.

[Youngian]

Either Little and Large, Ted Rogers or Mike Yarwood would say that every year when it was still called the Common Market.

[Oboogie]

FFS.

That's excruciating.
Eurovision predates the EU by decades.
I can't be bothered to look up how many non-EU countries take part in the competition but Australia, Israel and the, er, UK are the obvious ones should we cut ties with them too, Tim?

Anyone care to speculate how broad and deep this asshat's record collection goes?

The fucking idiotic chauvinism of it, that those funny forrins have their cultures encapsulated entirely in their Eurovision entry, but Britain alone knows it's just a bit of cheesy nonsense and has other shit going on too. Fuck off.

Other people don't have minds, simple as.

I think it's an excellent example of how detached these wingnut influencers really are.

They whine continually about governments ignoring the concerns of "normal people".
They mean "Look at this new wedge issue that I'm getting paid to promote".

When not actually lobbying for money they're attempting to re-write very recent history and nudge the Overton window ever rightward.

But catch them on any "normal people" subjects: music, football, cookery, cost of shopping, state of public transport.
The fucker's haven't a clue - because when you life and work in Tufton Street and get paid 3 or 4 times the average wage nothing's normal.
And their only hobby is political hackery.
