It’s a terrible shame that we English aren’t able to
celebrate our patron saint. The Irish people have a huge celebration around the
world for St. Patrick’s Day, while St. David’s and Andrew’s are made bank
holidays in Wales and Scotland respectively. And yet here in England we are
expected to treat St. George’s Day as normal without any patriotism or
celebration. They probably celebrate it a lot more overseas. It’s just another
way of how other cultures have demanded that we follow their ways and serve
their needs once again. Well, it’s about time we stood up to this and ensure
that we’re allowed to celebrate our history with battle re-enactments and pubs
running festivals to raise a glass in aid of St. George. Let’s get Morris
dancers back out on the streets again and each town should have its own
carnival to celebrate its community. Let’s get this country to be great again.
