Cheeky Scotland!


Eyebrows and kilts were raised this week when it was reportedly announced that Scotland has been given permission to break away from the U.K. and launch its own bid for glory at the Eurovision Song Contest.

According the several newspapers and websites, the EBU has said there was nothing to prevent Scottish musicians from entering under their own flag.

The ruling comes after lobbying from a Scottish member of the European Parliament, Mr Alan Smyth.

However, practically this is probably not a realistic option as Scotland would be able to vote for itself as it would use the U.K. phone system!

Maybe some day eh, Scotland?

Knowing all the neighbouring voting that allegedly goes on, I'm sure we could expect douze points from Scotland! Or maybe not
