(satire?)
Nick Clegg has fired a fresh warning today to Tory Eurovision sceptics who are demanding an in-or-out referendum on Britain’s membership of the Eurovision Song Contest after Britain again failed to win, ratcheting up tensions within the coalition Government.
The Deputy Prime Minister told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that leaving Eurovision would leave Britain isolated in the sphere of dodgy pop song writing and competing in the contest should be regarded as one of the government’s most pressing priorities today.
Meanwhile, UKIP leader Nigel Farage, explained why he thinks the UK should consider withdrawing from what he called “a European superstate of song”:
“The Eurovision Song Contest is deeply partisan, undemocratic and corrupt – something we in the UK are quite capable of being all by ourselves without interference from Europe. Look at the House of Lords. And you only have to look at other traditional British institutions such as The Only Way Is Essex and Girls Aloud to see that Britain doesn’t need any help from outside when it comes to creating kitsch.”
Conservative rebels are pushing for an in-or-out referendum on the Song Contest after a Guardian/ICM poll showed they are backed by some 70% of voters who say they would consider voting for UK withdrawal of the song festival.
However, Mr Clegg said he regarded the UK managing not to come last in the most recent contest as the most important achievement of the Liberal Democrats in the coalition government.

Now that Conchita has worn the Eurovision Song contest, I am expecting some swift reverse imaging to take place in all the UK political parties. I shall myself with my bearded aplomb shall stroll down the tiny village of Abergele with my tri wheeler adorned in my Parisian rainbow sequined gown just to let the UKIP candidate know “that you ain’t seen nothing yet darling” I Just hope he doesn’t bring along his big brother & other renegade Conservatives relatives. I am getting on now & three’s a crowd don’t you think ducky ?

I don’t believe this has anything to do with politicians but the song artists

Dear Nigel,
No No No you cannot consider leaving the Euro Song contest.
I spent the entire night with my close friend IDS and he was totally in tears the whole time.
Having failed at his studies,failed in the army, failed at getting people into work, failed with Universal Credit, failed even to get people to like him he believes this is his last big oportunity to get something right.before he sinks into obscurity.
Having practised long and hard with his song ” Poor people shouldn’t eat”, he believes he can regain the peoples respect and make Britain a place to be proud of.
Latest DWP statisitics show that almost 9 out of 10 people on hearing this song will suddenly be able to eat and gain meaningful employment, Further DWP research shows that should Ian be the UK’s representative at the next Euro Song contest it will bring an outright win and Britains standing in the world will inexorably rise to a pre Empire peak.
This will obviously have the knock on effect of once again making Britain the industrial powerhouse of the world ending hunger, poverty and homelessness in one fell swoop.
As you are aware Ian’s one over-riding ambition since childhood has been to eradicate poverty and hunger so I am please begging you to keep us in the Euro Song Contest so his dreams may finally be realised.
Yours with utmost sincerity
Esther Mcvey
ps. do you think you could convince him I make a good looking, sexy, female partner for his act.

My dearest sexy babe Esther,
Of course I understand your feminine attraction to Ian and understand you wishing to support your wonderful boss.
However, I believe only by quititing the Euro Song Contest can we take control of our music industry and promote only British music.
Having British people listen to foreign music fills their heads with nonsense of love and romance and a better world, something we both know we cannot tolerate if we wish to become World leaders once again.
Keeping the British song Industry British means we have the power to prevent Euro Song Contest organisers from undermining British jobs and culture and making our workforce as lazy and unproductive as those Euro singers.
Our research shows that if we cut the length of songs by a mere 15 seconds, something the Euro song people are denying us, we can increase workforce productivity by almost 35% and increase our worldwide exports by as much as 100%
UKIP believe that by Britain going alone in the music Industry we can create many thousands more jobs for British artists and sell our music to markets hitherto prevented by Euro song contest rules.
Your Sincerely
Nigel
ps as poor Ian may be out of a job soon you are welcome to join UKIP as our Trophy babe, just be sure to wear that little red skirt wink wink !
