Piers Morgan dubs Eurovision contest a ‘rigged farce’ following Ukraine win

Ukraine is, in fact, one of the most successful of the newer competitor countries – having triumphed in 2004 and 2016.

Piers Morgan says last night’s Eurovision was a “rigged farce” after Ukraine rap group Kalush Orchestra won the contest.

The outspoken broadcaster said the war-torn nation’s entry succeeded on the back of a “sympathy vote” due to Russia’s military assault.

He said the result of the singing contest “shouldn’t be determined by which countries are suffering most at the time”.

When a Twitter user then challenged him on his criticism, suggesting Morgan would rather we “just feed all the songs into a computer and it should calculate which one is “best”, Piers replied:

“No, I don’t. But nobody who voted for Ukraine thought it was the best song because it obviously wasn’t anywhere near the best. Even Ukrainians don’t think it was the best song.”

Ukraine joined the Eurovision contest in 2003 and its three wins make it one of the most successful of the newer competitor countries – having triumphed in 2004 and 2016.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
