Re: Happy St George's Day

It's up to us, the remaining free thinkers to keep the celebration going. Boris said we should raise a glass and not feel ashamed or embarrassed. Obviously he has been criticised by the thought police but well done Boris. Someone with some balls at last.

No mention of it on the TV so far. Strange that.
Unlike St Davids Day when BBC2 devoted a whole channel
to the Welsh day for 90% of its on air time.

The BBC are a bloody disgrace to the English

You're not kidding. The amount of abuse and bile being spouted on Twitter this morning about his little speech was ridiculous. The usual `racist` and flag-sha**er comments coming from the usual suspects because we dare celebrate the English Saint's day. No sign of this invective on the other nations' Saints days.

Re: Happy St George's Day

Happy St. George's Day.

I looked him up on Wikipedia.... these legends read like a fairy tale.
He was buried in Israel.

Oh well, it's a holiday, so celebrate.

My wife was 1 generation from Irish.

My Mother was born & bread in Glasgow.

One of our uncles was from Colwyn Bay.

Don't underestimate how close many of us are - despite all of the cries for independence!
