This week will be remembered for one of the most important events in a generation for the UK: a multimillion-pound spectacle of pageantry in which dignitaries from around the world gather in celebration before one figure is ultimately crowned. I know, I can’t believe Eurovision is here either.
Europe – and also Australia for reasons no one really understands – now has all eyes on Liverpool as the UK hosts the song contest for the first time since thin eyebrows were on trend. Of course, we are not in this position due to any real merit, but rather just an accident of circumstance – so again, much like the coronation. The Russian invasion means last year’s winner, Ukraine, is sadly unable to safely host and so the UK – who came second with the artist Sam Ryder – has stepped up to do the honours instead.
