And the UK doesn’t choose any venues in Wales or Northern Ireland. Six in Sngmand and one in Scotland.
I was going to say something of the ridiculous coverage of the commonwealth games focussing primarily on England when Wales won two medals, they weren’t even mentioned.
You would have thought the inclusive focus of the BBC and of course the ‘United kingdom’ those days are over. Lucky we are not a country of colour eh ? |  |

A councillor or something like that from Birmingham was on the radio this week , he said something like the venue and to be available for around 8 week to be considered for all the prelims and semis etc. |  | | |

Cardiff was the first place mentioned when it first came up about the UK. The Cardiff mayor said they wouldn't enter the race because they'd have to cancel to many other events to be able to fit Eurovision in. |  |

So Cardiff withdrew and the rest of us stew | |

Have absolutely no interest in this borefest. Absolutely shite songs by shite artists. Muzak for the musically illiterate. Give me a good festival with some decent bands and artists any day. | | | |

That was because nowhere in Wales asked to host the song contest. Cities throughout the UK were invited to apply. Belfast applied but did not make the shortlist.
Cardiff thought about it but said it would cause too much disruption to other events planned and withdrew its expression of interest | |

If you don't put your name in the hat it's not gonna happen. Cardiff was only viable candidate in Wales, nowhere else has a large enough indoor venue.They withdrew.
I reckon it's a fight between Brum, Glasgow, Manchester and Liverpool. The location of Liverpool's and Glasgow's facilities on waterfronts gives an advantage. Both look good on TV and have close by facilities. Liverpool's crap airport won't help but Manchester is only 40 miles away. | | | |

Weaker facilities and less accommodation that the shortlist-B'Hm and MCR have the capacity, Glasgow and Liverpool adjoining conference centres for press and the rest. Cardiff would have had do be Principality.
I think it will Liverpool or Glasgow | | | |

Speak to people on the north west where they would rather fly from.
Liverpool is a world city with outstanding musical heritage and not just the Beatles
A city that welcomes visitors
A natural choice and it will get the nod | |

I wish they would Make Their Minds Up
They need to speed it up, not slow it down
Don't let your indecision
Take you from behind
Trust your inner vision
Don't let others change your mind | |

Jon. It’s made for it.
When the cruises dock,it is seen as one of the best cities of all to visit .
The problem areas are not really where visitors go. Just as well really.
I’ve found the case with scouserscto be either the best or worst people you could possibly meet. Bad ones are real problems and right at you The good ones would really help you out if in a jam. Incredibly generous but they do tend to be gobby and not exactly reticent . | |

Todays union is over.
Even Prof Drakers has said it, reform it or its dust.
UK govt paying to make welsh coal tips safe would be meaningful.
And pay a fair market rate for our water.
And give us our fair share of HS2 like Scotland had.
And match the EU funding that their Brexit lost us.
All very reasonable requests, but the English Tories see all the Celts as second rate peoples.
Truss’s language about the elected governments of Cymru and Scotland is revealing.
Apparently she going to hold our governments to account.
Of course its the people of Cymru and Scotland that hold those governments to account.
Liz meanwhile will be picked by 180,000 Tory members. This tiny group, which works out to about 0.29 per cent of the population, will decide the next prime minister.
They have zero mandate in Cymru or Scotland. |  |
