So, somehow, I managed to get through the Eurovision Song Contest.

Honestly, after what felt like a Lord of the Rings amount of time, after all the strobe lighting, fireworks and lasers I was, how you say, Euro-visually impaired. Har har!

Oh go on, give me that one.

Anyways, if you didn’t hear by now, we lost. With zero points.

A feat I feel is more impressive than the 524 points amassed by the Italian rock group Maneskin (who blasted out an absolute belter to be fair).

I usually don’t care about Eurovision, but to get zero points in not only the judges' vote but the public vote, I found myself shouting at the TV as though it was the Euros football.

The way Graham Norton narrated the outcome, it was as though it was Lionel Messi had scored some worldy. “I’m actually lost for the words” said Graham as we were dished our big fat zero.

I wouldn’t be that bothered if we’d had a terrible song but I thought it was fairly decent.

Not far from our neck of the woods, James Newman is a Settle lad and I thought he did the UK proud. When I say he did us proud, I don’t mean in the singing of the song, I mean in the way he handled such a miserable defeat.

When they announced that the UK had got zero points from the judges and the public vote, James stood up with his entourage and started jumping up and down, waving his beer in the air as though England had just got to the finals of the Euros.

That’s right, if we’re going to lose, we’re going to lose the English way! By pretending we didn’t lose and celebrating with all our might.

As the sour-faced Swiss singer looked mournful sitting in third, James was drenching himself in his own beer and being cheered by the other groups for finishing last.

What hurt the most is the fact that Germany were placed above us, not for any World War related reasons, but because they sang the worst song of the night.

A song named ‘I Don’t Feel Hate’ with the lyrics, “I don’t feel hate, I just feel sorry” which ironically left me feeling overcome with both of those emotions throughout the entire song.

If you didn’t know Europeans’ opinion on Brexit before this Eurovision, you do now!
