We see Eurovision as proof of our supremacy. We want it to stay trapped in its old cliché – tinny, glittery, badly translated, caked in orange foundation. Indeed, we are doing more than any other country to ensure it does. Nine years agothe Israelis – hardly the most sexually forward-thinking country in the world – fielded the Yemeni postop transsexual Dana International. She won. So while other countries are fielding omnisexual third-sex taboo-busting divas, we've sent over Scooch. In flight attendants' hats. We're actively trying to retard the contest.
