I don't think many english give a stuff about St Georges day anyway.
Its only insecure nationalities and people unsure of their identities
that make a big deal out of their patron saints


It's just a symbol of a national day, which is perhaps something
(looking at it a different way) that the English avoid precisely
*because* they are insecure about what their nationality represents.


If anyone particularly wants St George's day to be celebrated, they'd
be well-advised to distance themselves from Barnbrook when promoting
it, or else it will be a very small gathering of very unpleasant
people.

Events like St Patrick's Day and Pride get support from the general
population because they are associated with people who seem to be able
to organise non-threatening revelling; not something particularly
associated with the English as such, let alone the BNP.
