Any Eurovision references to the Dutch East India Company, Portuguese Black Ships etc were very casual. Just in case anyone wanted to discuss the Summer games.

San Marino's big swing with the Achille Lauro was a reference to the; "Sigonella Crisis" in which the US hijacked a civilian airliner. Almost getting itself into a shooting war with NATO ally, Italy.

In reference to the Ryanair airliner which was forced to make an emergency landing in Belarus following a bomb threat. Immediately after the 2021 Song Contest.

Apart from being next to Russia. No-one's quite sure why Belarus was excluded this year. They've certainly not done anything NATO haven't done.

The general maritime theme was in reference to how the US mistakenly chose Option C. Letting Britain drag them down beneath the waves with them.

So, obviously. There has been a fat-finger error. The points awarded on Friday bear no relation to the points entered into the computer on Saturday.

The EBU want to get that sorted out.
