Excerpts from [The Express](https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1948345/eu-flag-protest-ban-Proms) in [article](https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/express-outraged-after-6000-eu-flags-are-distributed-at-the-proms-382808/) by Jack Peat:
*The Express has blasted “Remainiac Proms-goers” after thousands of EU flags were distributed at the last night of the classical music festival.*
*In August, the newspaper notes, BBC Proms ticket holders were told they would be barred from bringing “protest flags” to the annual celebration of British patriotism.*
*But George Chambers, the head of comms at BBC Classical, [had] since taken to social media to confirm that doesn’t include the EU flag, much to the chagrin of the Express.*
*The newspaper bemoaned the fact that there has been a “succession of years in which the red, white and blue of the Union Jack has become increasingly drowned out by the blue and gold of the EU flag”.*
Euro flag shaggers are the worst type of flag shaggers
They are free to hand out thousands of UK flags and people can wave what they want, as long as it isn’t offensive. I don’t see how this is remotely threatening, the rest of the content including the conductor’s waistcoat and stage was adorned in Union jacks.
The Express exists in a permanent state of outrage.
Isn’t the express being outraged about everything pretty much normal.
To be honest, the first three words of the title describes how The Express reacts to pretty much any situation.
ISTG Brexiters are just in a constant state of fury. It must be so miserable living in their heads.
Weren’t they outraged last year too? It seems they were looking to be outraged regardless…
Don’t care much for the Proms, and really dont care for a shitrag like the Express. A quick youtube for the ‘Proms’, selecting the first two videos that come up.
[2024 the Proms](https://youtu.be/YECmfNz9CGU?si=41RvIB8EGbeyOn1u&t=140)
[2009 the Proms](https://youtu.be/Sgd9nYqVz2s?si=zUdJW_BVVwVH6fea&t=140)
Might just be the camera angle etc, just seems shittier this year than it was 15 years ago?
(Obligatory – I voted remain, and would love to rejoin the EU. )
Yes the express is a steaming pile of dog poo – but I do understand its outrage. This is one of the few times it does get to have the moral high ground.
The BBC Proms have always been associated with the union jack so the EU flag is deliberately provocative.
For a bad analogy – Its an away football fan hurling out a banner in the home end.
However, This PR stunt just divides where music is meant to unite. Arguments for rejoining dont need this – they are strong enough to stand any scrutiny without gimmicks. .
Has anyone checked the express to see if we are due a cold snap yet?
Has anyone checked the express to see what they think Diana would have thought about this?
Has anyone checked the express to see if this would cause or cure cancer?
Has anyone checked the express to see if there was a recent siting of Madeline McCann?
