Earlier today Roger Helmer MEP tweeted that the Union Flag was flying upside down outside of the European Parliament.
Mr Helmer has written to the President of the Parliament asking for the insult to be corrected:
"Arriving at the parliament this morning around 7:00 a.m., I noticed that in the line of national flags, the flag of my country, the Union jack, was flying upside down (as it was when I first arrived at the Strasbourg parliament in 1999). May I ask if this is merely an oversight, or a deliberate snub? [Heh.:)] May I also ask what action you propose to take to ensure that this does not happen again?"
