Diana inquest: Queen ordered Palace to be swept for bugs over spy fears | the Daily Mail

Is that the EU flag flying on Buckingham Palace? The Daily Mail seem to have thrown that in for bizarre reason.

 

[Elspeth]

I'd be interested to know if that's a Photoshop effort or if there's some reason to fly that bloody flag over the residence of our Head of State.

 

[ysbel]

Daily Mail being cheeky?

Well, off the record for tis frightfully orf topic and we'll fall out, I think it's a wonderful sight and I'd like to see it in reality but onto the story...

It's a photoshop job but why on this story? The story has nothing to do with the EU.

It's the Daily Mail. Everything is about the EU.

It was probably a photoshopped picture made for some scare story about how the Queen is to be replaced by a tribunal of Polish bureaucrats and some editor didn't notice and put it in the story anyways.
