We'll never win Eurovision while the sneering elite who run the BBC treat it – and their viewers – with contempt
The British spirit isn't one of surrender. We give up because we think we might not win? Hell no!
That's why, as a patriot and pop music lover, the BBC's complete capitulation on Eurovision, which saw us receive nil points again on Saturday night with our worst entry ever, makes me sick.
The crisis-ridden Corporation's contempt for Eurovision might seem like the least of its worries, coming hot on the heels of the full-blown scandal engulfing it thanks to the despicable cover-up over how Martin Bashir procured his Panorama interview with Princess Diana.
But it is indicative of a much larger problem for the Beeb which seems to have a disdain for Britain's ordinary people and our values.
You know - the sneering metropolitan attitude that saw BBC Breakfast presenters Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty snigger and mock a government minister who dared to proudly fly the Union Jack.
Make no mistake, the BBC is entirely responsible for our Eurovision failure.
They gave up on the show years ago, embarrassed by its cheesy campness, pure pop madness and flag-waving patriotism.
As a result, the liberal elite who dominate the Beeb have decided to treat the competition as a joke.
- Not sure what all this "we" and "patriot" stuff is all about – he's from New Zealand, not the UK
- shoehorns in a mention of Martin Bashir in the third par
- shoehorns in criticism of BBC Breakfast presenters
- mention of "the liberal elite"
It's almost as if he's been told by the DM what to say…
