It is St. Georges Day today, I have heard a couple of mentions on the radio but that's it. Is it a case of, we are allowed to be British but not English ? Sod it, I am going to celebrate with a few beers and maybe slay a dragon later if I can find one.
fine to celebrate st patricks day but put up a st georges flag and a your a racist someone painted a st george flag on the side of a house a few years back for the world cup had to paint over it as it had been reported as offensive and racist doh !
You can blame the EDL BNP etc for that one. Lets be completely honest, the only saints day that anyone celebrates is st Patrick's day, and that's only because of Guinness
The George cross is unfortunately considered racist because of its adoption by racist organisations. Perhaps we should be focusing our displeasure about this toward the organisations which have made it a racist symbol. It's a terrible situation, but its where the 'brand' sits.
An extra day of Bank Holiday for St George, for Shakespeare, and for the Queen's birthday would be nice. Any excuse really.
Civil servants get a holiday for the Queen's Birthday. Thought I'd mention that in the hope of pissing someone off.
I hung a flag outside my office window for the day, is that racist ? It's alright when the football is on !
