Unreal!

Got to agree that the English should be re-asserting there identity and local councils need to stop all this PC crap. After all, other nationalities living in Britain are encouraged to celebrate their country of origins festivals, national and religious, so why shouldn't you guys.

Because flag-waving and identity-asserting aren't really an English thing to do. Not when there's tea to be drunk.

Best to leave that kind of thing to foreigners.

Yep - not something I'd feel comfortable doing.  (the flag waving, not the tea drinking)

I think Kev nailed it on the head early on in the thread.  The St George's cross is associated with English Hooliganism and also the racists and Fascists of the right wing, even those who would proclaim not to be racists are now moving closer to the extreme right with their bigoted views on immigration.

By all means celebrate your Englishness but not at the expense of any other race or creed.

Creed?  If the creed infringes on my civil liberties or the civil liberties of others, then I will run down any creed.

Why?  I didn't say I'd stop anyone from believing in anything, or from acting out their strange rituals - but I will retain my freedom and right to mock and criticise.  Religion is not above criticism.

But do we not allow these negative groups to take ownership of the St Georges flag and identity by not celebrating our national day.

Should the masses not infact celebrate St Georges day and redefine it as a positive thing and it could even be done by celebrating and intergrating our new multi cultural society. Just an idea. Or alternatively we could be left to feel embarrassed by our national heritage just because the hooligans are better at marketing than our politically correct authorities.
