it's wild that England didn't get any jury points but also no audience votes at all.
the song sucked but this was just brutal.

Nobody's giving England points for the song, and nobody's giving England points because they like England. Both make perfect sense.

England has been relentlessly awful ever since at least Thatcher and even the people who weren't paying attention stopped liking England when Brexit negotiations started.

The brain breaking sure is similar.

American media was wrong about Trump but they were able to defeat him eventually. Meanwhile the Labour right has been doubling, tripling, and quadrupling down on dogshit political campaigns and leaders since tha god Tony Blair went back in his coffin.

Yes, the rules say you can't vote for your own country. There are juries, composed of (usually) various media and music industry people, sometimes former winners. Then there are the televoters, just randoms watching at home who also aren't allowed to vote for the country they're currently in. It used to just be the juries, but eventually enough people in Europe got telephones for televoting to be possible.

The UK getting nil points was funny and then it got even more hilarious when the next 3 acts all got 0 votes from the public as well. Just brutal television.

The UK was a bad song, he looked like a dodgy wedding singer, the staging was terrible and he was off key though the whole thing. The lad had a whole year to learn the song and develop his act and yet he decided to sit on his PlayStation and eat crisps. 0 points.

You're forgetting the fact that they rolled back democracy. The juries were almost entirely out at one point, a mere backup in case a country hosed up its televoting, but now the Geneva bureaucrats have enforced anti-democratic reforms because the people were found to not be sensible.

It's actually great, especially as a barometer for inter-European attitudes. See:

They withdrew from the EBU a few years back, so they're not eligible. I don't think they ever submitted an entry as winning the big gay singing show wasn't top of their priorities.

Egypt, Algeria, Jordan, Libya, Lebanon and some others are all eligible to enter but choose not to.

Inter-European politics plays a part, but ultimately it's still down to having a good song. The UK sent a guy who just couldn't sing well. If it was all about the politics, Ireland, which has been bearing the brunt of Brexit for Europe, should have gotten lots of sympathy votes. They bombed out in the semis despite a decent song and some imaginative staging purely because she couldn't carry the song on the night. Once the final stats are released I reckon she'll probably have done worse than the UK.
