So it’s St George’s day on Saturday - the Patron Saint of England.
Is anything happening to celebrate this day in York? Has the local authorities got anything planned?
Well from what I have heard - no. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Complete nothing.
Several things about this make me angry.
Why will people celebrate St Patrick’s Day and not their patron saint?
Why don’t the leaders of the country make it a bank holiday - they do for other things but not for this apparently.
But the main think that annoys me is with the general association that St George’s Cross has with thugs and far right politics.
I’m English and I’m proud of it. It’s about time that the millions of law abiding English people - of all race - win the flag back from people who portray it in a less than favourable light.
PS: I don’t think that much happens to celebrate Yorkshire day - 1st August if anyone is interested.
