Previously flying the rainbow flag was seen as a gesture that previous Foreign Sec William Hague encouraged.
The bookmaker makes Hammond banning the rainbow flag an odds-on shot at just 1/3, and offers 9/4 that Hammond does allow the flag to fly at the Foreign Office.
Jamie Loughead, Star Sports spokesman, comments:
“The Foreign Secretary went to great lengths this week to convince the public that the UK is best being a part of a united Europe- but last year refused to join our European neighbours in flying a rainbow flag for Pride. So regrettably, we are offering an odds-on price of just 1/3 that he will refuse to fly the flag at the Foreign Office again this year.”
He continued
”Mr Hammond certainly appears to be more ‘homosceptic’ than he is ‘Eurosceptic’.”
Will The UK Foreign Office (London) Fly The Rainbow Flag For Pride 2016?
No 1/3
Yes 9/4
