      There’s a reason why they gave us 12 points with other judges too and we came second and they won this year considering we have been dire for nearly 25 years and all of a sudden this happens. If you can’t see it then … well. I hope it’s not just a one off and we send more quality songs and singers. I think over the years we have had decent songs and singers. This year as last few years it had been political for Ukraine and us coming second.

      Ukraine was political on the jury vote they gave the UK 12 points because they love the UK it was one of the major countries involved in the training of troops and the supply of weapons since the annexation of Crimea but unlike some other countries that training hasn’t stopped they continue training troops in new weapons some of which aren’t even integrated in the British military yet and are actually still being tested by the British military.

He's also backed by a great production with TaP music who clearly understood the assignment rather than BBC taking the helm completely. I hear TaP music will again do Eurovision next year so this kind of trend will continue, a top 10 finish next year would be just as amazing!

    I was in the arena rooting for the UK and Portugal in the final (I HAD been rooting for San Marino, but...alas. We'll get 'em next year!) and I swear it felt like I was dreaming, losing my mind with excitement as I jumped up and down with my British flag and shook hands with the Ukrainian guy sitting behind me after that first 12. I wasn't at all disappointed since Ukraine were spectacular and absolutely deserved to win (I totally think they could have no matter what their current situation is, but that's another story for another day), and more than that, the UK should be absolutely over the moon at this result. First in the jury vote and second overall! I was in the arena for Tel Aviv and watching at home for Rotterdam and the idea of the UK getting this kind of result would've sounded like lunacy back then. Now, it's a reality. Go on then, lads! Keep the momentum going for 2023! Much love from an American fan in NYC.

They got more 12's in 2022 than they had in all of Graham's previous Eurovisions combined, PLUS it was the first time he witnessed them getting more than one in a single night - first time that's happened since 1998!
