I wonder how long it will be before some canny entrepreneur starts arranging transfers of Beauty Queens between Countries? For an appropriate fee of course. Well Footballers do it. I do feel that the UK Entrant should be UK born, but I don't care what ethnic background she has, I can see beauty in many guises. |

Unfortunately the rules are that either the contestants are born in England or be in at least 5 years or more continuous residency. If that's the rules then so be it, but I do take exception because it sticks out a mile that someone is being over politically correct - does this girl honestly think that if it was not for the current state of affairs she would have been chosen no I don't think so. |

Brian, that's probably the England cricket team, lol. Not a major football follower but Owen Hargreaves is of Canadian origin though isn't he? |

Actually Lin, I think she was chosen on her merits and her obvious beauty, I think shes striking in looks. Dont think its anything to do with being Pc etc. If it was because of that, they would have chosen anyone with a colour to their face that was born in England. I still hope she wins for the country she has decided to live in Elaine x |

In the light of what is seriously happening in the world today,does it really matter that she was not born in this country?she lives here and is representing us in this contest on merit. As for the contest itself,its harmless enough,if people wish to enter these things,they have the freedom to do so,whether anyone else likes it or not,its their choice. As for me,She seems a very pretty girl,but I must admit,I,ve seen prettier just walking around town, Hal. |

Well said Hal Trouble is, the girl around town doesnt always have the confidence to enter a compitition like that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As for the competition being dated, women fought for the freedom of choice. Its their choice to enter,No way is it degrading etc. E x |

I don't pay any attention to the Eurovision but if I had heard that an entrant for BRITAIN wasn't british then yes I would have moaned to high heaven!! I don't care if they are Black, Green, Purple or Yellow but I think anyone representing our country should be born in it and yes I think it should extend to footballers too (I know the rule there is they have to be born here or their parents were) I genuinely am not being racist at all - I think the fact the woman is now getting hate mail is appalling but she would've known that was gonna happen before she entered. IT WAS HER CJOICE TO DO SO!! I still stand by my opinion that ANYONE representing ANY country should be born in that country!! |
