I for one can’t wait for a flurry of 26 minute YouTube videos wildly speculating on everything from what will happen at the EBU general assembly, all the way to what coffee they’ll serve at the pre-discussion break #eurovision

Amazing to see two sides of the human psyche last night, a former winner now bitter and bored and a former non-qualifier being relentlessly chirpy.

Or maybe one grows into the other eventually

The worst thing is she tricked us into applauding terrible ideas

“You know; they should bring back live backing singers, and bring back the live band!”

*crowd applauses*

Mid applause “and stop sending men in dresses!”

*applause dies and we all feel cheated*

I mean what the fuck was that? That was deeply unpleasant

Sandra has just tapped her microphone against her own leg whilst other people were talking, she’s like a bored child

Ever since I finished Question Time, Reform have massively been on the attack.

Including a rant from Richard Tice entirely designed to distract from Reform and Russia.

Everyone should know about Nathan Gill, the bribes from Russia and the link to Reform.
