Huh? Norway has had a long love-affair with the UK-- many older Norwegians served in the UK armed forces in the war.
Honestly: my nine-year-old daughter voted for Latvia (the Pirates), and described the UK entry as "the worst", even though her grandparents live in the UK, and she has absolutely no relationship to Latvia whatsoever.
If we had a time machine, and took the winning Russian entry, and entered it as the UK song, I completely believe we would still have come last.
Personally, I'd say some of the blame lies with our pro-bush politics and stance on Iraq.
Eurovision has just ended up as a farce. The west put in all the money, and the east all vote for each other, and win.
