Europe came together last night to thrash out an issue that has troubled our nations for the last year. Who will win the Eurovision Song Contest? Some thought that a Swedish siren would lure voters to her shores, others that Polish maidens would suggestively milk votes their way. Only the gullible thought that Milly would do it for the UK – bookies had her chances at 9/1. France were embarrassingly bad, which is difficult under the circumstances, and took a long time to get any votes.
Having watched Europe’s finest see-saw their way through the voting, there could only be one winner – Conchita Wurst, a bearded drag artist from Austria who likes peace and freedom. The guy from Borgen, some muscular waif and a chilled out dude hosted the event from Copenhagen. Graham Norton provided the humour. The fast forward button was pressed a lot on our TV’s remote control.
