Well, the ITV representative may be right that there was no technical impediment to voting for Armenia (I didn't try), but I did spot a notable difference in the content of the bar at the bottom of the screen where the name and numbers of each country were shown when Armenia came up.
ReplyDeleteITV made a statement today - 43 people voted for Armenia :)
