Anyone know what the craic is. Google says its a sign of distress/protest.

They're hardly whinging about us recognising Palestine?

  1. In recent they’ve been upside down to protest Biden by Trumpers. But the Ambassador was appointed by Biden. It’s quite bizarre as Americans generally take their flags quite seriously

  2. Pretty strange as almost certainly has to be intentional

  4. Some flags are the same turned upside down, like Switzerland for example. Which is a big plus..

  5. Hungover Marine on flag duty is about to get fuckin reamed.

  7. An intentional upside down flag is a sign of distress or protest, this is almost certainly an error. Some one is getting a bolloxing.

  8. Wasn’t that lunatic, the yank Gemma, not asking for people to turn the american flags upside down or something?

    I imagine if this is a real photo and was done by a member of staff there, they’re about to be fired instantly.

    Could have been one of the far-right neanderthals perhaps, but risky climbing up there in an American embassy.

  10. Don’t mind google, as far as Americans are concerned that’s a Trump flag. Not very ambassadorial. 

  11. OP, did you take this photo yourself?

    I’m googling around for it and it seems so far you’re the only one to notice.

  12. You would probably get shot for that in Texas!!

  13. Possibly a protest about our stance on Palestine.

    They’ll get over it and see the light eventually.

  14. All we need now is for them to become the Ambassadors residence to Ivory Coast.

  16. There’s no chance the ambassador had anything to do with this as she’s a Biden appointee. There’s also no chance it was accidental as Americans treat their flag very seriously and it would be impossible not to notice that the stars were at the bottom.

    This was absolutely some Trumpist idiot trying to make a point, and if they were in the military or diplomatic service, deciding to throw their entire careers away in the process.

  19. Apparently, it’s legal as a sign of distress but otherwise illegal.

  20. To quote Banksy, “People who wave flags shouldn’t be allowed them.”

  21. Someone is going to cop a bollocking after the shite going on with that US Supreme Court justice.
