St Georges Day

['Shy]

Whatever happened to that petition a few years back about making St Georges Day a public holiday in England?

Anyways, happy birthday William Shakespeare..

St georges day and the flag of st george always amuse me.

So many right wing english bigots look upon this great dragon slaying hero as their hero.

They however don't see the irony in a racist, jingoistic english person accepting a man born in what is now Turkey as their patron.

Yeh, I'd rather have Leprechauns as descendents than some twat in chain mail with a sword

damn hib

 

[swords]

Never realy bothered with it tbh.
Most people nowadays don't even know when it is.

 

['Shy]

Well it's today, so now you know! And I demand it as holiday so I can run around town drinking lager and chanting football songs with my England flag tshirt on!

The Irish get to go to the pub and drink Guiness all day, so why can't we do something similar?

Because, apparently, it would be racist to celebrate St. George's Day.

Ohh, umm why?

I was thinking that. The cross of st george was never appropriated by the far right anyway, they were more interested in the symbolism of the union jack.

Interesting walking round the square mile after my liquid lunch. Suprised by how many people were celibrating, although that could be because it's friday afternoon, but quite a few red crosses to be seen.

Come and buy me a beer! Actually, I also saw a crowd of about 20 peeps, many in big red and white jester hats, having a few jars in the pub near here while taking my ciggy break... dead jealous, I was

Why do we need a special day to celebrate our Nationality? Pointless shite tbh.

 

[Sissyfoo]

England already has the reputation of being full of a bunch of sweaty, shaven headed, football supporting, lager louts...why enhance that with a national holiday?

English nationalism has sadly had a bad name in the past due to a minority of idiots. However I am still very proud to be English and to those that want me to be ashamed of celebrating my Countries day can fuck off, you are no better than the racist scum bags that have given nationalism a bad name.

Because the Irish are not a bunch of mindless racist morons that like to run around chanting "no surrender no surrender" or some such shiit while looking for some foriegners to go and beat up in the name of St George?

O and flame away

I could call all the Irish, Potato eating simpletons, but i wont as i know they arent, dont judge a nation on a very small minority of retards who think that sort thing is ok.

And yes you are a racist, prick

I believe the best person to ask that of would be Mr. Ken Livingstone, Mayor of the City of London.

Wanker.

I don't see why St. George's Day shouldn't be a holiday. All the better for the time off, if you ask me.

Something about national pride tho - it amuses me no end to see poeple only getting the English flag out whenever there's an international footy match. Football should be the last reason to celebrate being English, if you ask me.

If u feel my post to be a attack on all english people then please forgive me as that is not my intention. However, if u wanna live in denial of the fact that there is a segment of society that is downright racist in this country then i think maybe u need a reality check.
Do u ever watch the news???? Race riots in the north, instructors being kicked out of police training school for having such nice views about people of foriegn origins. Or better still go to a game of football and listen to some of the chants at games then sit here and tell me about this so called mindless minority. I am not even gonna go into personal experiences with this kind of people in London over the last 30 years but u keep dreaming. If this is a minority of people as it stands now heaven forbid they one day become a majority.

 

[Raven]

the point is, dont confuse nationalism with racism, i am proud of my country and proud to be english, i am no racist though

Nationalism is the same thing as Racism. Ask Enoch Powell.

If you've ever been to ireland you'll realise that racism in ireland makes the uk look like a festival of hippies.
