There were EU flags at the Last Night of the Proms and some people got their Union Jacks in a bunch

BBC ‘must investigate’ freedom in free country for people to wave a flag. As your sort used to say, if you like Russia so much, why not go and live there? https://t.co/mqvIOEnkyG

This silly flags/Proms argument is a reminder that, for a certain kind of Brexiter, even total rupture with the EU is not enough. All mention of it has to be erased from British life.

People were waving EU flags at the Last Night of the Proms. Scientists have now confirmed that flags are essentially pieces of fabric whose decoration may have symbolic value but possess no magical properties whatsoever, and advise Lord Ashcroft to get a fucking grip.

So it was all about true Brexiteers taking the EU flag because it was for free ? This really made me laugh. https://t.co/ubsaNo3QTj

Oh good, the jingoistic discourse around flags at the Last Night of the Proms appears to be in full swing, because what we really need is another tedious round of whining from people who think Britain should go back 300 years. Give it a rest. No-one with any sense actually cares.

Frances Coppola had a suggestion.
I'm personally in favour of banning political parties that are entirely bankrolled by their millionaire leaders. Seems rather more important for democracy than banning the EU flag at the last night of the Proms.
