To symbolise distress. If you simply turn it upside down then it would symbolise distress, if you rotate it however it is still the same.

What does an upside down union jack mean?
What is really wrong when someone says that the flag is "upside down" is that "the flagpole is on the wrong side". The flagpole should be on the same side as the top left THICK white diagonal stripe. It doesn't matter whether the flagpole is on the left or the right of the flag, as you look at it, as long as the top white diagonal next to the flagpole is the THICK one (as opposed to the thin one).Regarding the original question, "What does an upside down union jack mean?", I always took it to mean, if flown intentionally upside down, that it was a sign of distress.Next to the flagpole, reading top to bottom, the top diagonal should be THICK white, red, THIN whiteand then the bottom diagonal should be THICK white, red, THIN white.
How do you know which is the right way up for the union jack flag?
The three diagonal stripes on a Union Jack consist of a broad white stripe, a medium red stripe, and a narrow white stripe. The bottom half of the Union Jack should have the broad white diagonal stripe nearest to the flagpole, if the bottom half of the flag has the narrow white diagonal stripe nearest the flagpole, the flag is upside down. If you look at the Union Jack on the following link (See Sources and Related Links), the flagpole would be on the left hand side of the flag.
