Europe’s song contest looks like it’s been won by…Australia

It’s whackiest song contest on earth, so it figures that despite being European, it looks like it’s going to be won by Australia, with a Korean singer.

Malta is nowhere near the tally Australia has reached so far – which kind of puts paid to all those stories which had it that ‘Joseph’ had fixed things for Miss Losco to win. How could he have fixed things? I mean, we know he’s corrupt – but the people who thought that way hadn’t worked out that if the system is corruptible, wouldn’t Joseph’s mates in Azerbaijan have corrupted it first? Or that Vladimir Putin?

I can see the wheels turning in those Taghna Lkoll minds (money’s no problem when we’re spending other people’s) already: if Australia wins, it will have to hold the show somewhere in Europe, so….what’s 19 million euros spent on CHOGM and the EU-Africa Summit? They’re going to be aiming to get the show hosted in Malta via Australia. And cancer patients can carry on going to Marie Louise Coleiro Preca and her treasure chest, carrying their begging-bowls.

Australia, eh? That kind of puts paid to the ‘neighbour-voting’ theory of Maltese excuses.
