I didn't see any EU flags waving at the 6-nations
It's an inter country competition, it would be like waving the Union flag at any of the games played by GB countries rather than your national flag.
Erm……..are you not familiar with the format of the Eurovision Song Contest?
It's inter country as well, and not inter continent.
The only reason to wave an EU flag at the ESC would be a political one, and it looks like the BBC wanted to de-politicalise it.
You'll just have to make do with your EU jimjams and duvet cover instead.
Not really, this was not an competition but rather a step in choosing our lame entry for the biggest load of shit on the telly outside of a tory PPB. The BBC have said (according to the article) that EU and rainbow (not political at all) flags will be tolerated and they removed the flags supplied by EU Flag Mafia because of sinister safety reasons.
