wondered why there were so many ***** in the pubs i walked past today. i hate these bullshit celebrations, though st patrick's is the worst. as if the braindead majority who populate this island need _another_ excuse to drink their pathetic lives away a little faster.

Why not give everyone a treat and stand in one of those pubs and repeat this statement at maximum volume ;)

while i'm at it i'll ask each one of them that voted for the BNP or UKIP to go and call david hayes a black bastard. seewhatididthere?

while my original post was admittedly a crass over generalisation, i still maintain the opinion that it is hilarious 90% of the idiots in those pubs probably have no idea who st. george is, the significance of the day or whatever else (neither do i, difference being i don't celebrate it/care), but they feel it's a perfectly good reason to get pissed up. not that they usually need an excuse either way.

Don't be such a self-righteous arsehole.

Honestly - most ppl I know couldn't give a rats arse about it. As Laddey says, just another reason (as if u need one) to go down the pub. People will make of it what they will. There does seem to be less St George's flags this year tho...

Is his sword hilt firing out a fucking laser?!

Damn it looks like it. In that piccy it's clear that's not a Dragon either, just a lizard with ambition.

Maybe St George isn't the issue here. Celebrating being English should be the point. Got to say hats off to a certain marketing department in terms of 17th March - it's not St.Patrick's Day, it's St.Guiness Day.

Saint George is a Saint of the Orthodox Church. He was a soldier in the Eastern Roman ("Byzantine") Empire and lived in Syria in the 4th century AD. Having him as the English Saint is an Epic Fail. There are plenty of better alternatives to be had although Thomas More would be my personal choice.

I always wanted the Venerable Bede, i've long since advocated the dropping of George who was an affectation from the Crusades. A partron saint should be relevant to the country. Or even go back to Edward the Confessor who was the patron saint prior to george.

We don't even need to have a saint. Its an outdated Christian system that isn't relevant in an enlightened society. I wouldn't even call England a Christian country any more. There are more people that either couldn't care less which sand fairy you prey to or are non-Christian religious.

We should still have a national day to celebrate being English, despite how unpopular national pride is, we just don't necessarily have to link it to some Christian celebrity.

I also wish scum like the BNP would stop linking themselves to days like St Georges day. Their views are in no way English and its those ***** that give national pride a bad name. Despite the scum, we English have a lot to be proud of.

I really don't have a problem with the day being linked to a Christian Saint; national pride is important though and it really should be a national holiday.

We should have a full re-enactment if Labour get in the back door, which I have a feeling they will do due to are crappy voting system :)
