Time to pull out of Eurovision, viewers tell BBC after Britain limps in second to last amid claims of 'political voting'

Humiliated music fans have called on the BBC to pull out of the Eurovision Song Contest after Britain's entry limped in at second to last place.

Veteran singer Engelbert Humperdinck scored just twelve points after opening the show in Baku, Azerbaijan, on a night that revived allegations of political voting from participating nations.

Out of 42 countries taking part, only Ireland, Latvia, Belgium and Estonia awarded Humperdink's Love Will Set You Free any points.

British viewers flooded the web with calls for the BBC to quit the contest.

TV presenter Philip Schofield led the charge, announcing on Twitter: 'It's time to pull out.

'Not even Robbie [Williams] could win it for us, it's too political.'

Hundreds of viewers bombarded the BBC's Eurovision website, with many calling on the UK to withdraw from the 'biased' contest.

One said: 'It doesn't matter who we have represent us things will always be the same and that's political PULL OUT AND DON'T BOTHER WASTING ANYMORE TIME OR MONEY!'

Another said: 'Once again the voting has been political, when will we in the UK learn we are not liked and no matter what song or who sings it we will not get anywhere.

I think we should just pull out too, save money and then just enjoy without caring who wins too much.
