I dont know if anyone has brought up this topic already but why don't we support St Georges day like the Irish support St Patricks day?

I've found the answer. Apparently according to a guy on TV its RACIST to support St Georges day! Why? well apparently you are no longer English but British as being British supports all the Asians etc. But being English doesn't if you get my drift.

I have always thought of myself as English and I don't hate Asians or Immigrants from another country. Just because I am English it does not mean I will instantly join the BNP or beat up people with different coloured skin.

If this is the case why is Ireland allowed to support St Patrick's day? surely there are Asian people and Immigrants in Ireland.

St Georges day is part of our heritage and without it we are not supporting our country. So sit back have a Pint and be Proud to be English and NOT a racist (I absolutely hate racism)

Rant over

Too true. It seems we are living in a 'multicultural society' - that is all cultures except white christian british, that is. It seems that in our own country we are being oppressed. I'm cool with things that celebrate the gifts other cultures and races have (like the MOBOs) but we are not allowed to have stuff like MOWOs or anything else. In places like Canada it is illegal to hang the Canadian flag because it is regarded as racist. Well I hung the St George's cross out my window today because I'm proud of my country and want people to realise that the British have beliefs too.

Glad you agree. I also hung the cross of St George. But to been seen as Racist is just so PC (Politically correct) it's stupid.

It's like that guy on the census form it said the following.

Race: British
Other (Please specify)

He ticked other and wrote English in the space. He was Fined £110

I have nothing against the Irish, Scottish or Welsh it's just today is the day to celebrate being English and were not allowed.

What next not having the Jubilee because we have a queen and some other countries don't and we are being racist to them.

See when you have laws like that it can get stupid.
