Maybe what we're witnessing currently is the result of a curse being lifted over the UK after the death of Prince Philip. Cannot think of another explanation, has to be royal family blood magic.

In other countries, such as would-be EU candidates Moldova and Ukraine, the juries were apparently more in line with the EBU’s recommendations - but their vote in favour of the United Kingdom puzzled the public. The outcome? The PR departments of the public broadcasters and politicians in the eastern part of Europe spent their weekend explaining the misunderstanding.
The Georgian public broadcaster GPB is still seeking clarification regarding why its jury votes were not accepted and why its 12 points went to the United Kingdom instead of Ukraine, Eurovoix.com reported. Same in Azerbaijan.
Moldova’s jury gave its 12 points to the UK of its own free will and was not invalidated. But they will now have to explain to their boss and the public why no points were given to Romania (the recipient of 12 points from the public) - Moldova’s traditional partner in the Eurovision contest.
To somehow compensate for the 24 points of Georgia and Azerbaijan re-routed from Ukraine to the UK, EBU shifted to Ukraine the 12 points given by Romania to Moldova. Romania’s public broadcaster can’t understand why its 12 points given to Moldova ended in Ukraine’s basket.
It is embarrassing since the juries in Moldova and Romania gave no points to each other’s countries - but this seems to be in line with the “substitute aggregated result […] calculated based on the results of other countries with similar voting records,” according to EBU.
In Kyiv, Ukrainian culture minister Oleksandr Tkachenko reassured Poland and Lithuania, “our closest friends in Europe,” that the 12 points given by his country’s jury to the United Kingdom “does not reflect our real attitude towards you," Ukrinform.net reported.

May 15, 2022 - A statue of Margaret Thatcher was revealed without ceremony in Grantham, in the UK, to avoid the 13,000 people who had vowed to hold an egg-throwing contest at the grand opening. However, as soon as word got out that the statue had been placed the first person carrying a carton of eggs showed up. The first of what will surely be many.
If you are ever near Grantham, why not go visit and egg or vandalise the statue yourself? [video]
