How superior we thought ourselves when Azerbaijan hosted Eurovision and, in the
words of Mark Lawson:
The host regime hardly enhanced their reputation for democracy when it
turned out that the national entertainer given the chance to perform to a
global audience of 120 million while the phone-voting took place was
Emin Agalarov, the son-in-law of President Ilham Aliyev. Say what you
like about Britain but, if Humperdinck had triumphed, we probably
wouldn't have had the Cameron and Clegg kids lined up on the 02 stage as
the 2013 interval act.
Imagine getting such an important job simply because you're related to someone in power!
Meanwhile in the UK:
The Prince of Wales has been awarded the highest rank in all three military services by the Queen. [He] becomes a Field Marshal, Admiral of the Fleet and Marshal of the Royal Air Force.
which is, of course, entirely based on his experience and merits.
