I agree that English should celebrate St Georges Day and be proud to do so. However, both the Union Flag and the English flag have for so long been used as the symbol for the bnp and other facist / racist groups, it isnt necessarily easy for people with skin other than white even if they are English to feel comfortable flying the flag! x |

I noticed that Sainsburys are selling cute little dragon outfits for children, presume because of St. Georges Day. |

from http://www.troop7.org/Flags/SaintGeorge.html The Cross of Saint George Flag The red cross of St. George has been the national banner of England for centuries. It was first carried by the English Crusaders in 1100 A.D. and by John Cabot, Sir Walter Raleigh and Francis Drake during their explorations. The colonies of Jamestown and Plymouth first flew this flag over their stockades. |
