It's almost St George's Day

[Horatio Pugwash]

So don't get yourself worked up about it. Nobody with any sense thinks St georges day is racist apart from, like the posted quote mentions, people who want to be offended and people in a wind up.

Apology accepted

Who's worked up about it?

I shall be having a few beers, probably London pride to remind me of the great days when our capital city was British

How long did you live in London?

Looking forward to a big celebration of Shakespeare's birthday, and the replacement of the original British Saint with an asian convert to a middle East based religion forced upon us by our political links to France

Na, I just called the thread out for what it is. A thread about something that hasn't happened, won't happen and infact has just been posted to start arguments. Argue away mate if that's your thing. Sorry to piss on anybody's chips.

If you think this place is fully representative of society in general, you need to log off and get out more

You're right it isn't representative. It's full of a certain type who constantly need to be putting somebody or something down to feel better about themselves.That's why this thread is here, it services a need.

What is it now like?

A place that doesn't welcome backward racists like mbh. Which is good.

Works for me.

Some right tossers on here, St George's day was never anything special, right wing desperation. Keep them at work to pay the Brexit bill so far.

Perhaps it should be.

Has anyone pointed out that London Pride is a f***ing dreadful beer?

That doesn’t matter to MBH, it’s the name that’s important.

And I think it’s a canny beer

The true Patriots would have celebrated St Cuthbert's Day on 20th March

From my perspective which is purely subjective there were dark times when the George Cross was appropriated by far right groups in the 70s and 80s. Football seemed like a thin veil for that sort of carry on.

Then it seemed that football started to reappropriate the George Cross for all the right reasons.
With the Japan world cup I think it was.

It felt in London then that when you saw a George cross it was for happy lovely reasons, for a change.

I think that St George's Day should be celebrated. There are many many things to celebrate.

You rarely saw the George Cross in the 70's & 80's, it was the Union Jack.

There are some really great celebrations go on in quite a few towns/cities mind, a fair bit of effort is put in. Nottingham is a great example of this.

Always a decent day out

I prefer St Aidan on 31st August, better chance of good weather
