It has been a sustained policy of the BBC NOT to win Eurovision. It costs tens of millions to host for zero commercial return. Winning would be financially disastrous.Secondly - the country that redefined popular music in the 20th century, that has produced more stadium-filling musical acts than any other, should not care about winning a load of Europop Cack. Winning Eurovision would be deeply embarrassing and a sign something has gone seriously wrong.
