When the current affairs magazine, Le Peuple Breton, published its 60th anniversary edition recently, the front cover, designed to be a cause for celebration, ended up at the centre of a national scandal.
“Un peuple vivant” (a living nation) read the headline alongside a photo of a young boy holding a Breton flag.
When it was posted on Twitter, it was met with a barrage of abuse of such ferocity that it is now being investigated by the police, and subsequently led to a huge outpouring of support for the magazine.

Hasn't the English flag been a dog whistle for years now?

That and the UK Flag these days, with what is essentially a far-right government at it's head.
