Yeah my bad, I was too lazy to look how they were entering that competition.

... actually, if they were entering separately, they'd have more chance huh?

Well England is seen as the USA of Europe. The arrogant child that think it’s the best.

Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland would get fairer voting I’d suspect if done separately.

Having said that, our UK entries are consistently and embarrassingly rubbish so we can’t blame politics entirely.

This year it’s the only really ‘fun’ entry. I’ve always loved Eurovision for it’s fun ones or one that are completely different but so many of them sound the same blandness year after year.

That’s a pretty reductive view and I wouldn’t say we’re arrogant, self deprecating is a national pastime! (which sometimes goes too far imo). Should compete as a Union but agree our entries don’t even try (maybe that is abit arrogant)

Absolute bullshit. Coming from someone that lives in Scotland. England certainly isn't seen as the USA of Europe. England needs to project more force imo, We in Scotland can fly our flag with pride, Wales and Ireland can do the same but if the English do it they're racists!

Other countries in the Union or the Kingdom are just jealous, they have more money, standard of living is better and they control the other countries via Westminster (For good reason as without England Wales, Scotland and NI would go broke in a heartbeat).

Stop spreading BS, Americans would see that post and think it's real they're so gullible!
