If anyones bothered about it not that theirs anything on the news.

Happy St George's day Tommy, I have been watching a St georges day event, morris dancing, and a hog roast, everybody playing nice.

I have been wearing my England shirt today, with some England badges on it too. Tonight I am hitting my local boozer which has a special event happenng. I am glad that we can celebrate this and be proud of England. You still meet the occasional demented left-winger, like I did this week, who said that England's day should not be celebrated in England because "it does not reflect the multi-cultural society we have". This person clearly is not aware that there are black and Asian English people who will be celebrating tonight just like everyone else.

And it has also come to something when the very people who said that mass immigration would not erode the traditions and ways of this land to now be saying that it effectively has because the English day shouldn't be celebrated because of how many people with other backgrounds are now here. This person also said that the wearing of England shirts should not happen in the UK.

People with this sort of thinking used to be called "the loony left". They are quite easy to spot: they read The Guardian, live in some Georgian conversion in Hackney (or similar), normally work in the public sector, and they sit there drinking bollinger whilst banging on about Third World politics. Aswell as all that, as I discovered this week, the middle-class nuvo-riche left also seem to hate everything about the country they live in.

As far as I'm aware Richard The Lionheart, a 12th century English King, saw an image in front of him of St George one day when going into battle and he thought this brought him good luck. Since then the day has been marked in the English calendar, the act of St George slaying the dragon has been an image associated with England, along with the red and white of the flag. St George was actually Turkish and never came to England or ever spoke English. I am writing all this from memory and have not looked it up online today - all this is from what I heard some time ago. The issue of a nation's saint not being from that place is not unique to England and St George though - St Patrick, the Irish saint, was actually Welsh.

The reason why there is more of a push to celebrate it now than before, and why there is a call to have it made a national holiday, is because many people feel we are being over run by the tsumani of immigration we have seen in recent years and that our identity as a people needs to be asserted because it is being lost. I am refering here to people who come and don't integrate, regard themselves as totally foreign, don't respect the customs and traditions of this country, have no loyalty, and generally dislike everything about the place they voluntarily moved to. Those people are in a completely differnt catagory to English people of a non-indigenous ancestory who love the country, respect it, and view themselves as English as they demand to be viewed.

I found his online:

I meant 'I found THIS online'. lol.
