A different interpretation is that this institution was created in order to unite the nations of Europe through a harmless *song* competition following the trauma of WWII. That it is inclusive and involving. Using the power of technology to let "nation speak unto nation". And if we view everything through the blinkered ideology of dogma we risk losing our sense of perspective and seeing *racism* in what is simply creative, subversive, subtle irony. Wogan's humour follows in a tradition of British satire going back centuries. If you fail to understand this and see nothing more than class or race struggle in it then you are blind to an incredibly significant part of human culture.
