At long last it appears that Wales may have gained the status of independence in Europe. Not in the EU, but in the Eurovision Song Contest. According to a report in today's Herald newspaper the competition's organiser, the European Broadcasting Union has told SNP MEP Alyn Smith that there is nothing to prevent Scotland from entering on its own merit. If there is nothing to stop Scotland, then there is nothing to stop Wales either!

We wouldn't want to win though,, think of all the Euro junketing expence that would bring.

Wales and Scotland have every right, along with Ireland, in entering the Eurovision Song Contest.
