Austria to get "nil points." Are they right to withdraw from Eurovision?

Yes - the UK should withdraw. We don't get the votes, whatever the song is like, as many of the other countries don't like us, due to Iraq and other historical reasons. However, they let us compete each year, as we contribute an enormous amount of money towards the competition, allowing it to take place in countries that could not afford to stage it otherwise. If we withdrew, then the competition may well cease to exist after a year or so!
