It is St George's Day today - I bet you didn't remember, where is English Patriotism?

[eliquant]

Yes today, April 23rd its St George's Day - do you remember the governments pathetic attempt to reintroduce a day of English patriotism ? it sort of fell flat on its face.

Does no-one care about English Patriotism anymore ? do we think its a taboo subject in the Liberal minded / politically correct society we live in ? Or is it that we just don't care anymore about the identity of England ?

Discuss.

The English should celebrate St George's Day - nobody is stopping us apart from ourselves!

So, happy St George's Day!!!

I normally have a red rose pinned to my lapel when I work.

Sadly it's not viewed in the same way that St Patrick's St Andrew's or St David's days are.

Patriotism and it's sister nationalism are just a way of the leaders controlling the masses. It's a load of bollocks.

"Dulce et Decorum est pro Patria Mori" sums it up nicely.

I was going to have a big St Georges Day display across both windows of my shop, as I have the flags & other gubbins ready for the World Cup.

My manager is Italian. I spent 1/2 an hour trying to explain to her who St George was and what I wanted done with the window.

That'll be Latin, Greek, and Hebrew then.

OK, luckily I got 'O' Levels in that lot.
