Eurovision. Is the lack of a good melody every year a deliberate ploy? Seems that way. If we take Eurovision as a symbol of European unity, then no one country should be seen to be “uber alles”.  At least the Tel Aviv crowd last night booed Greece and Cyprus when, yet again, they brought political bias into their voting. And Iceland thought it acceptable to display bondage in family entertainment yet showed ill-educated political bias by waving ‘Palestinian’ flags in Israel! In real politics, 80 years ago Churchill was originally labelled a buffoon. Today another politician named Boris, who wrote a brilliant book about Churchill, ironically also wears the buffoon label as he competes to be the new leader. So, Eurovision or real life, better an intelligent, educated buffoon who loves his country than someone ill-educated who consorts with terrorists.
