  • A picture shows Remain supporters burning a Union Flag. The image has been edited to add the burning flag. Numerous posts on Facebook, and elsewhere on social media, have claimed that Remain supporters burnt a Union Flag at a protest. Together, these posts have been shared hundreds of times. However, the event portrayed in the images did not happen. A photo from protests in March 2019 has been edited to include a burning flag. The image of the burning flag comes from a protest in Argentina regarding the Falklands, which has also been falsely attributed to Remain supporters.
