    Doesn’t look like drug taking at all to me. His bandmate was giving him a nudge to say the camera is on them and to engage with it.

    Keep on deluding yourself if you want to but he was clearly snorting something presumably coke.

    Trial by twitter - don't you just love it!

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    Sad day when a potential Eurovision winner like the UK`s entry is robbed because of the Brexit lashback. James should have finished in the top 5 at the very least.

    Look how far away the table is from his head. Unless he has the strongest nose in human history I doubt he was snorting coke hands free from a foot away.

    Why would any person posting here delude themselves about that?

    Personally, I thought Finland was far better than Italy and that neither of them deserved to win.
    France, the song "voila" and that's the content of it... she also looked like a celine dion impersonator.
    Norway the guy actually had a very good voice but the silly staging let him down. He also looked like he was a fan of john lennon.
    Germany's song was dire.
    The UK song didn't deserve to come last again the staging let him down alot.

    Finland was pure generic corporate hard rock , Italy didnt reinvent the wheel but it was more authentic than Finland

    That Switzerland Song sounds a lot like Adele Someone Like You

    Italy is the worst song to win in the last number of years. Even Netta Toy is more listenable than this winner.

    The young public voters, and the fact there are groups online creating a trend to vote for a certain country because the song is anti Eurovision.

    Its a joy to read the comments section of The Mirror over on FB, lots of salty Brits crying about how those nasty Europeans all hate them and its time to pull out of it.

    As if anyone would be bothered if they did quit.

    We should send Foster and Allen to Italy next year to represent us. Mick and Tony do like a good traditional pizza.

    I don’t even know who’s “anti-Eurovision” these days bar salty British and Irish people.

    That song from Ukraine from 1916 was worse.

    Loved all of that last night. Only heard Italy on the night. The more it was played, the more it grew on me. Didn't like it at all at first. Delighted Ukraine and Iceland were so popular in the public vote. Surprised with Belgium and Portugal not getting higher. Probably an age thing there.

    The cameras were slow getting to, and cut from the other performers fairly fast, when getting results after GB got the reaction in the studio.

    Also, Amanda Holden is now trending after her 'I don't understand foreign languages' quip.

    Ah he seems to be a good lad. That’s the way to do it - put on a brave face and own it. That, or become a meme.

    Sinead O Connor is wondering over on Twitter why she was never asked to represent Ireland, her views on some things might be off the wall but she sure can sing.

    And before anyone thinks I'd be crowing over the UK's tv once-a-year entertainment show self humiliation, the same applies to us!
    No one can say 'Europe hates Ireland' even because of a novelty turkey in a shopping trolley a decade ago!

    The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution.

    The Entryism process: 1) Demand access; 2) Demand accommodation; 3) Demand a seat at the table; 4) Demand to run the table; 5) Demand to run the institution; 6) Run the institution to produce more activists and policy until they run it into the ground.

    Yeah, even if you give her the benefit of the doubt that she was trying to be ironic, it just fell completely flat!

    way too risky having that "bald chap"

    she'd probably end the performance with a political gesture..tear up a picture of the queen or the pope or someone else she's got a beef with

    Yeah it's BS. Started by the French media btw who probably just wanted to put the boot in because they lost.

    Your man has said he will take a drugs test to prove it.

    Yep, definitely the best way to respond to something like that.
    Own it.

    EDIT: Actually, Lesley Roy did the same after her bombing in the SF - she stuck up a tweet with the treadmills for sale :)

    Imagine something like Mandinka, would be unreal and would go down really well. She's bat****, no denying it, but she's a serious singer and I've not seen her live but can only assume she's a polished performer.
