Have anyone noticed that there is less St George flags and adverts at each passing years recently? I was out today and passed 3 towns and never saw not one flag about.
Have United Kingdom patriotism lost its way and seem to be a sensitive topic amongst some people? |

I even didn't know about it until this evening on some message on twitter, feel guilty that I missed it  |

Less "adverts" than when, exactly? All the other years when there's never been any "adverts" for St George's Day?
I blame Facebook, nobody thinks for themselves any more. They just repeat shite that they read on there without checking whether it comes with any credence. |

There's a certain irony in people getting twisted undergarments about the celebration or lack of over a guy supposedly born in Greece and made a Saint for his religious beliefs in a country where the same religion is dying on its arse..

I forget but yes we seem to not be patriotic anymore.
In Liverpool Paddy's day used to be so big,but even that is not what it was,I blame the EU a bit,also young people have no national pride.
All four nations of the UK should celebrate there national day why not? |

Pray tell just how the EU is to blame?
And St Pats day is massive in case you hadn't noticed, it's a day when anyone can find a tenuous link to being Irish and hang out in pubs..
For the craic of course.. |

Or even why?
I am proud to be from the UK,I believe on balance it is a good spirited country, but I do that every day, not on a day picked to mark a soldier who never came anywhere near this country.
I also feel the English flag has been misappropriated by some minorities I have no time for, and I would rather show the full union flag these days. |

Got to disagree with you there. Paddy's day in Liverpool has been a three day affair for the last couple of years, mostly alcohol related but there has been a St Patrick's parade through the city also.

"St George's day has just turned very wet 
Interesting. Isn’t it in April? Whoops! "
Lol. Easy mistake to make. 23rd April is also the anniversary of Shakespeare's death. I always thought it was very sensible of him  |
