Each spring for the past half-century the BBC has broadcast a show in which the public selects Britain's entry for the annual Eurovision song contest, a pop-music competition. For decades it was called "A Song for Europe", and then by other names. This year's show, broadcast on March 1st, had a new title: "Your Decision". The name is an embarrassment to any member of the British government who is blessed with a sense of irony.
