Eurovision conspiracies

One week after the Eurovision Song Contest, the debate continues. Another letter from Romania on today's Malta Independent complaining about the remarks made by Grace Borg, chairperson of the Malta Song Board. Fausto Majistral blogged about this on Thursday:

Grace Borg, the flamboyant chief of the Song Board, is now coming up with all sorts of paranoid conspiracy theories about why Malta lost the top spot to Greece in the Eurovision Song Contest. First, Grace is convonced the numbers from Albania and Romania were cooked. Grace admits she doesn't know a thing about the telecoms capabilities of these two countries but she's still asking the European Broadcasting Union to investigate. As anyone knows, talking authoritatively about something you don't know anything about carries risks. In fact, someone in Romania spotted the report on the redhead's comments and sent in a reply to the Indy..

Well done Grace. I'll sure Romania will be giving Malta douze points next year. Grace also has a theory why Greece did so well: Turks... I just hope the Turks do not take offence either. Otherwise the community here might decide to pack up and leave. How would we survive without their kebab places then? Update: More angry Romanians in today's Indy.
