Europe Day - no blue flag over Number 10

[scenario8]

Is this petty gesturing, a nod to the DM/DE reading UKIP wavering Little Englander PHer, a deliberate attempt to wind up their Lib Dem coalition partners, an oversight or other? Discuss.

I appreciate any mention of the EU is like a red rag to a bull on PH

Nothing wrong with it as far as I'm concerned. I'm amazed nobody was crowing about this though:

Good stuff. I'd be pleased if CMD did tell No.10 not to raise that flag.

....I wish I could buy toilet paper with the EU emblem printed on it.....

It's a cheek to call something "Europe Day" when it has nothing to do with Europe as such - just the EU - which is not "Europe".

It used to be Victory/Liberation in Europe day in France, The Netherlands etc but the Germans were a little less than pleased to be annually reminded of past dark times.

A public holiday we never got.
