I think the song is aggressive rubbish with no melody - bit like English music circa 2012

One mans aggressive is another mans rousing, and I can hear a melody.
Lulu and Sandy! Are you serious? Cheesey crap that, in my opinion, are on par with nursery rhymes, they're childlike songs.
There were crap songs around 40 years ago, there are crap songs around now.
there were good songs around 40 years ago, and there are still good songs being written and performed now.
I may be wrong, but I get the feeling that you are maybe an older person that is struggling to keep up with the times.

I am determind to find a recent UK song to change your mind.
I think that this song is beautiful.

It has nothing to do with the music and all the other nonsense that people are blaming, the reason behind it is that One, we are seen as not really being part of Europe, Two we went into a war with America against the wishes of so called powerful countries in the EU.....

Indeed, we are the warmongering, US lapdog, bullies of Europe. None of the other Eurovision countries want anything to do with us.

Until they need a bailout. Or a military assist when they're on their arses.
