So we had the press conference tonight;  B&B Enterprises announcing that we were officially asking for help.

Help for where, exactly?  From the screenshot it would appear that we are already merely a province of Europe…

The local provincial governor

There was a Tricolour on stage, of course, but it was to the extreme left of the podium; its green, white and goldness was visible only to those who tuned in at the very start and end of proceedings.  The rest of the broadcast was very much as above, carried live by RTE, BBC and Sky, over the air and online, and sure to be replayed in snippets all over the world.

Unfortunate subliminal imagery.
