“What the Hell Just Happened?” I’ll tell you what, the UK has unveiled a genuinely good Eurovision entry in the form of pop trio Remember Monday, the first girl group to represent since 1999. What the hell, indeed.
The big reveal of the act chosen to perform at the annual Eurovision song contest has, for the past decade, carried with it a sense of doom. Britain has a victim mentality when it comes to the world’s biggest singing competition – particularly since Brexit. Naysayers have claimed that politics is a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of whichever sacrificial lamb we decide to send to the slaughter. Never mind that the UK has in fact won five times, tied for the second-most wins with Luxembourg, France and the Netherlands, with Ireland and Sweden claiming the most wins (seven).
