Should Flags be Banned?

But then you go a bit further back than that and the flags in your eyeline to the screens.

Fair shout but if I was that far back I wouldn't really be arsed about what I was watching or I would be nearer in.

They are as mentioned the Marmite of the festival.

The Flags are very atmospheric. Most pyramid headliners I'll pop for a cider at the mandala bar and watch the encore from that side of the stage and love the sea of flags that greets me

Group WhatsApp, picture of the flag and share it and all your mates will find you in minutes. All the old ways took ages and maxed out stress levels. Plus, they look great.

Was at Sonic on Sunday for Jain's set and there was a French lad there that was clearly her biggest fan ever (pissed off my mate because he thought he was). He had a French flag with 'I love Jain' written on it, at one point he went on someone's shoulders and held it up (it wasn't on a pole) - he instantly got a steward standing over the front barrier shouting at him to get down quite aggressively. What's the rules on that? Did they only want him to put the flag down for people behind? (They easily could have stepped to the side as the crowd wasn't big) or did they want him off shoulders as well? I found the whole episode a bit frustrating. I was enjoying his passion.

Did you see the guy that looked a bit mangled left of stage that was the only person up front not to go low when she asked. His look of utter bewilderment when he looked around really tickled me.
