The Remainers plan to hijack the final of the Eurovision Song Contest by handing out tens of thousands of EU flags to viewers in a bid to turn the event into an “anti-Brexit propaganda coup”.
Anti-Brexit activists in Liverpool plan to hijack this weekend’s Eurovision Song Contest final by handing out EU flags for audiences to wave throughout the event.
Pro-EU group Liverpool for Europe secured 75,000 EU flags for Saturday’s event, which will be broadcast live by the BBC and TV channels around the world.
The organization hopes to recreate scenes at the Last Night of the Proms event at London’s Royal Albert Hall two years ago and turn the Eurovision Song Contest into an “anti-Brexit propaganda coup”.
An activist confirmed that the protest was coordinated with the group Liverpool for Europe and several other organisations.
They told the Chron: “We have urged people to wave EU flags outside the arena at the semi-final events, but on Saturday, when the crowd will be at its largest, we will have as many flags inside as possible.”

The organization hopes to emulate scenes from the Last Night of the Proms event at London’s Royal Albert Hall two years ago (pictured) and turn the Eurovision Song Contest into an “anti-Brexit propaganda coup”.
“Liverpool is an anti-Brexit city and we want that message to get across.”
Eurovision rules state that small flags may be taken into the arena.
Far-left activists say they plan to continue anti-Israel protests outside and inside the Liverpool Arena.
The Proms at London’s Royal Albert Hall have been the target of anti-Brexit activists for several years. In 2017, Nigel Farage condemned EU flag-wavers for “trying to do anything around them”.

Meanwhile, a BBC executive has admitted that the “biggest concern” of broadcasters running the competition is a cyberattack by pro-Russian hackers, The Guardian reported.
The inaugural Eurovision semi-final took place on Tuesday, with presenters Hannah Waddingham and Alesha Dixon’s designer dresses attracting a lot of attention.
The women, along with Graham Norton and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina, will host Saturday’s final. Eurovision sources promise her dresses will be “just as eye-catching”.
