The program is ruined by letting people just come here for the sake of the competition rather than restricting it to people who are least live here - its a joke - makes me sick because it means Jack Carrol was robbed of victory. Why bother calling it Britain's Got Talent ?
I won't be watching 'Anyone can come to Britain if they've got talent' anymore

To be fair, the show is Britain's Got Talent, what this has shown is that Hungary's Got Talent...nothing Nationalist about it, like there are rules in other competitions, the rule should be that you have to be from Britain otherwise it isn't what it purports to be!
They have all got their own versions of this show so why come here ? At least all the other acts live here and have a connection - these people just flew in solely to take part in the competition - if that's allowed then the program should change its name full stop end of story.
I am not watching ever again.

In a nutshell.
Where were you people when all the other hundreds of acts went through the auditions with foreign accents?
Was it just ok because they didnt win? Now one of them has won the toys are out?
Seems like the EDL has gathered on here tonight.

Well they may start living in Britain now. Who knows.
The British people voted for them and that's what matters.

The fact Jack Carroll had one joke in his entire routine robbed him of victory, not "dem pesky forenurz".
It was not like this in the first few series, but Cowell and all his cronies are worried about ratings so have been scouring Europe to get acts in - then he makes out there was no such rule just so he can get his own way - its nothing about Britain its just about ratings.
hang on, hungary's in the EU so they can come here and stay here as long as they want. we didn't "let them in" for the show

no they came here for the sole purpose of going on the show
Honestly, who the hell cares where they're from.
It's a chuffing televison entertainment program and I was entertained by them, it's all just a little bit of fun. Not like they're illegal immigrants or a Hungarian footballer turning out for England or whatever.
Some people take this far too seriously.

I understand your complaints slightly but i didn't see many people complaining when they got through last week, there wasn't even complaints during the show tonight. It all looks like sour grapes to me.

the OP was implying they got special permission due to the show which is simply not true
the program is called Britain's Got Talent - are they British NO - do they live in Britain - NO - its not called Talent Competition Set in Britain, if I said Britain's been getting nice weather this month do I mean outside Britain ? If I said Britain's holding the Olympics - Britain's got economic problems etc etc - the point is they use the word Britain to instil a sense of national pride towards the acts - but then put in acts that are not British.

Who voted them the winners?

Were they entertaining? Yes. Would I rather have them in the competition than not have them in? Yes. Were they better than any of the British acts that entered? Pretty much, yes.
I'd much rather watch better, innovative non-British acts than some boring bloke from Wigan who can't sing to save his life... but hey, at least he's British. Got to maintain the integrity of the ever so prestigious Britain's Got Talent.
I could perhaps understand the outrage if this was some sort of serious, prestigious competition or matter, but it isn't. It's a Saturday night entertainment program on ITV. Some people honestly need to get the hell over themselves.

So...you're saying that just because Jack is British, he deserved to win?
Jack wasn't robbed, 'cos the victory wasn't his in the first place.
Rather them than an unfunny act. But that's just imo, although seems most of the voters agreed with me.

Does this mean that Northern Ireland should also be ruled out or would they have to change the name of the show to The UK's Got Talent?
Fair enough if you think they shouldn't have been allowed to enter. But it was the British that voted for them to win...

Or perhaps it was the fact that their act was better than Jack's? Why on earth should it matter what country they are from? Just because of one word in the show's title? That's seems really pedantic and petty to me.
