Hagiology is general is not exactly a science. Did he fight a dragon? Was he a saint? You may as well have a day dedicated to Bill and Ben the Flowerpot Men. Personally seeing St George's flags around that day makes me cringe, but I am not very patriotic. |

Of course. It seems mainly morons, racist thugs or little Englanders who celebrate it. They seem to be backward-looking to the empire and how great we used to be as a nation and whilst I hope one day our flag can be a sense of pride for all, I do not think St George's day is necessarily the answer or an important part of that. The Olympics did more to glavanise the country and raise us up as a diverse nation than flags sellotaped to a cortina. Maybe we should have a day off and street parties, but I do not know how you would stop that being hijacked by the BNP or used to make a political point in some areas. |

And, for an extra brownie point, we actually have over 50 home-grown Saints to choose from. The Holy Roman Church used to beatify just about anyone in the early days! |
