Proms FlagsA crowdfunder raised enough money for 5000 EU flags to distribute at the Last Night of the Proms 2016. There was opposition to this in the right wing media. Aaron Banks funded some Union Jacks to distribute for free. One of the flag sellers who usually sells to the crowd was upset by the presence of free EU flags being given out but they did not detract from his trade. If anything, the leave supporters' free Union Jacks would have been a disadvantage to him, where they not half the size of what everyone else had. The Flags For the Proms people, as they were then called, had sourced their flags from a UK printer and supplier. They were made of biodegradable paper. A good intention but as it was raining heavily that year it was decided to go with the more usual polyester in future years. Later that night, someone put an EU flag on the statue of Winston Churchill on Westminster Green. The photographs inspired a member of the original team to develop the EU Flag Mafia into an ongoing project hanging flags to bolster the spirits of other remainers and to tell the world that Britain as a whole was not pacifically accepting the results of the referendum. A referendum in which it was later proved that thenleave campaign broke Electoral Law. They have since expanded into many other 'stunts': The Judges on the bus to support Gina Miller. The Ad-Van in Washington DC when Theresa May visited Trump after his inaugeration. Balloons and another Ad-Van at the Wetherspoons Annulal General Meeting. The day that Article 50 was signed, the EUFM staged a protest linking the sinking of the Titanic to Brexit. Inspired by Boris Johnson saying that the UK would make a Titanic success of brexit. EUFM are now an expected part of the Last Night of the Proms, welcomed by the musicians who know how damaging brexit is for all the Arts in the UK. Also welcomed by the Prommers, with the exception of a hardened few of the leave persuasion.[1][2] https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/sep/10/eu-flags-waved-at-last-night-of-the-proms-in-anti-brexit-protest Flags Southend-on-Sea FrontTo coincide with Europe day EU Flag mafia put 42 flags along Southend-on-Sea Seafront.
