I have sent a complaint to Ofcom about the results from the UK. It should not be possible for the song that is voted the best by the public to not get any points whatsoever. Every single person in the country could have voted for then bar none and they would have been overruled by a five-person jury. Anybody who voted for Poland should get their money back for the calls made during voting.

No it was actually possible for Poland to still get our 12 if the public results where the complete opposite of the jury.
The jury voted it the worst and the public voted it the best and they got no points. It was impossible for Poland to score any points no matter what the public voted after the dress rehearsal.
Yeah but if the public vote had been a complete reversal of the jury vote Poland would have received our twelve.
I think the best thing to do is to have the juries vote on the Live saturday show however it would cause some problems if anything went wrong
Here is an example:
Poland Televote 1 Jury 25 total 26
Song 2 televote 14 jury 14 total 28
song 3 televote 15 jury 12 total 27
song 4 televote 2 jury 2 total 4
song 5 tele 3 jury 24 total 27
song 6 tele 4 jury 23 total 27
song 7 tele 11 jury 1 total 12
song 8 tele 25 jury 8 total 33
song 9 tele 6 jury 21 total 27
song 10 tele 10 jury 19 total 29
song 11 televote 16 jury 13 total 29
song 12 televote 18 jury 11 total 29
song 13 tele 24 jury 3 total 27
song 14 tele 23 jury 8 total 31
song 15 tele 17 jury 20 total 37
song 16 tele 7 jury 4 total 11
song 17 tele 5 jury 22 total 27
song 18 tele 8 jury 18 total 26
song 19 tele 9 jury 5 total 14
song 20 tele 12 jury 17 total 29
song 21 tele 19 jury 16 total 35
song 22 tele 20 jury 6 total 26
song 23 tele 21 jury 9 total 30
song 24 tele 13 jury 7 total 20
song 25 tele 22 jury 15 total 37
so on that basis Poland with 26 pts would be 6th highest and score 5 points from the UK , so your arguement isnt true, and so OFCOM wouldnt do anything.
That is actually slightly rasict and disgraceful im a british person and voted for poland like many others and also if polish people live in the uk they deserve to be part of the british public not cast a side in a little group
Perhaps if your fave song doesn't get through in XFactoridolvoice you'll complain to OFCOM as well?!
So did you vote for the song with the dubious lyrics, available on the subtitle button. Or was it the scrubber with the wash tub, or the girl doing unspeakable things with the mop in a bucket? Do tell.
If you voted for Poland because you are Polish that's perfectly acceptable, I'm sure British people in Spain vote for the UK, why not?
If you listen to the english lyrics it was not dirty i voted for the act i liked best. I dont like people saying that the whole of polish nationals moved to britian to rig the votes which is untrue they come here for a better life so why shouldnt they vote and if they did who says they voted for poland
Extra time on your hands today? The rules were set out in advance and the UK followed the rules. I think the jury score was correct, Poland's song was one of worst.
If Poland was voted the best by the tele vote then thank goodness we don't have a Song for Europe any more.
However I do think this issue needs to be looked at.
If the public have voted a song 1st in the public vote that should be acknowledged in some way in the points system.
To receive no points at all does seem wrong.
That actually doesn't matter.
With saying that, the juries are there for exactly this purpose - it may need to be tweaked but not by much IMO.
Obviously, jury members need to be squeaky clean.
Technically untrue
It shares 6 place with 3 other countries - so how is it decided which country gets 5 points, which country gets 4 points & which country gets 3 points
Also who gets the remaining scores of 2 points & 1 point - since there are 6 countries with 27 points?
Perhaps the jury should only have a 33% share of the vote or perhaps it should have to vote at the same time as the public. I'm not sure of the solution to this one.
