I DON’T normally agree with HAS correspondent John Cumberland especially when he has a go at my beloved Durham County Cricket Club but, I have to agree with him (HAS, May13) when he says “We are despised by the EU” so therefore have no chance whatsoever of winning the Eurovision song contest.
I would also point out that I was suspicious right from the start that the singers were miming or, at very least just singing along to their songs, and when that stage intruder grabbed the microphone from SuRie and her singing still carried on it proved my point.
I don’t remember Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson miming when they were the runners up in 1959.
