Thought it was interesting that the UK public voted for Ukraine, Poland, Moldova and Lithuania in that order.

Probably reflects who's actually watching it over here.

That said, I thought Moldova were brilliant and should have won it hands down.

Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry.

I certainly don't begrudge them the win, and it's the most noble was to place second, but there is no way to my mind that the Ukraine song deserved 12 points from the vast majority of countries (pbulic vote). Def wouldn't have got that many without the war, though I acknowledge it would've still done well and am clearly not averse to Europe supporting Ukraine. Nobody outside of bot-like allegiance detached, alt media types take that route.

Quite partial to the Greek entry.

"Eurovision winner heads home to join Ukrainian army". Bloke leads quite the life. Fair play for this moment of solidarity from the public.

Tradesman?

So what is the likelihood we will see the contest in Ukraine next year?

I loved the Serbian entry - bizarre, wacky and cocked a snoot at Eurovision convention and the overelaborate light shows that are used to try to mask average songs. Brilliant!
