OK look I understand feelings about Joost and double standards with the EBU but... I really need some of you to think how "he looks far too nice to ever threaten a woman" and "I love him so this allegation must be fake" look to people in the fandom who have been assaulted before

By all likelihood, the UK will not do as well next year. We might even misfire and come bottom part of the table again. The important thing is that we don't then scrap everything and start from scratch again. What we did this year *worked* and it can work again if we persevere.

While I'm talking about Konstrakta, can I just say how great it is to have a 43 year old woman taking part, and not with a big stately ballad but with a quirky, fast-paced number? Eurovision has felt a young person's game for a while, with increasingly few artists over 35.

I've mentioned this elsewhere, but Måneskin winning is a big deal for perceptions of the contest. They're neither your 'traditional big ballad' winner, nor anything that feels novelty (like 'Toy') or circumstantial (like '1944'), they're just a rock band, with a good rock song.
