Just before Christmas, my office in Brussels raised the matter of the Union Flag being flown upside-down with the parliament authorities.
Action was taken, albeit after a week, and an explaination and an apology would have been nice.
Yesterday the matter was raised again, this time in Strasbourg, where again our flag was once again upside down.
Of course, this does actually have significance: by flying the Union flag upside down, the parliament is in fact indicating to passing shipping that it is in distress.
Given that it is a landocked institution, this might be seen as clutching at straws, but since all else has failed in the EU's attempts to rescue the Eurozone from disaster, perhaps the last hope is that a passing tugboat might tow the EU to safety!
