"Happy St. George’s day to all of us who are proud to be English despite no one in this country is even acknowledging it xxxxxx"
You can't say no one, can say majority or some or minority, a few, but not no one |

It’s hyperbole. It’s quite common |

"I dont know why St George's day is not celebrated much , I always think of the Stan Freeberg St George & the Dragnet sketch "
I just don't think people want to. I hear more of how people aren't allowed to celebrate, but I rarely see anyone genuinely celebrating. So how do they know they're not allowed to? |

People forget about it cos it’s not publicised at all, anywhere. English traditions are labelled as racist these days for no reason |

What Morris dancing is now racist? Or Stonehenge which is my absolutely one of my favourite places in the world is?
St David's day didn't used to get publicised, people in local communities decided to have a cawl a chan (song and soup) to celebrate. They organised Eisteddfodau which celebrates folk dancing, poetry, singing etc etc. I don't think anyone would ever say this would be racist, but bringing communities together. But there needs to be a drive to do it, even if there are objections initially. I generally only see drive to complain that the English aren't allowed to celebrate, not in the celebration of Englishness. |
