If Farage gets into power, will he deport those Anglophobes who insult our country by flying the Union Flag upside down? They must be foreigners who obviously hate our country. No true British patriot would do such a thing.

@Royrogers I doubt it's ignorance. True, proud to be British, patriots would know which way up the Union Flag flies. The only people who might be ignorant of that are foreigners, whom Fartage intend to deport anyway.
Could the flag at Lee Green fire station have been lowered due to a recent fatality? I agree it shouldn't be as low as half way but it could just be that someone took the term "half mast" too literally.
@MartinII So long as to don't do around flying it upside donw, no one will know. ;) It doesn't make sense, however, for those who claim to be so proud to be British that they feel compelled to tie the Union Flag to lamposts, to not know which way up it's meant to be. It's quite obvious that one or more are upside when there is more than one flag and they're not all the same way up.
Just so you can spot them yourself, the broad white stripe is uppermost on the side next to the hoist. If there is no hoist, it's deemed to be on the left.
@Sharon Ah, thank you. I vaguely remember learning that at school. I'll try to remember now. It is, I suggest, a fairly esoteric point, especially if you have climbed up a lamppost with your flag!
