17. I would like to enjoy a community day, but St George’s Day (as well as the flag) has been appropriated by white supremacists and colonialists so it’s just a big ick. Shame.

18. I’ve lived in England my whole like and never once thought to celebrate St George’s day. Who are all these people? Don’t they work in the day or do they take days off to celebrate?

19. Happy gammon booze up day.

20. Glorious. Not a single red, bald, head sat on neck fat on sight!

28. The absolute state of this comment section just shows how broken and divided Britain is when half the comments are critising England, StGeorges day and English flags

29. St Cuthbert should be the true Patron Saint of England

    Had visions and angel visits

    Healed the sick just by touch

    Prayed in the sea—otters kept his feet warm

    Predicted invasions and his own death

    Body found preserved years after burial

    His relics healed people for centuries

    Monks carried his coffin for 100+ years to protect it from Vikings who wanted his magic

    Wherever it stopped, miracles broke out

    Chose Durham from beyond the grave

    Protected northern England after death

    Dun Cow literally showed monks where to build his cathedral

    United rival churches (Celtic + Roman)

    People prayed to him to stop plagues

    Massive lands ruled in his name—Cuthbert’s Land

    Durham bishops acted like warlords for him

    His banner led armies to victory

    Kings swore oaths at his shrine

    Fugitives hid in his church and were judged by his power

    William the Conqueror got a vision telling him to back off

    Miracles kept happening for generations

    Basically ruled the North from the grave

    And on top of it all, he was born in England. St George can f-off

30. Happy St George’s Day from Ireland 🤗

31. Happy St George’s day

32. These days

33. I wish there was something to do on this day. The Welsh pin a leek or a daffodil on them the Irish get annoyed at plastic paddy the Scottish get a day off

    We get people saying “bet someone complains”

    At what? We do fuck all.

36. As a member of the Church of England, I will be celebrating St George’s day on Monday.

37. Thought it was the 28th this year?

    Have a nice pint, enjoy some cloudy overcast afternoon and be thankful we live in a country where you can claim you are being persecuted/arrested for waving your flag despite no basis for that in reality.

    It should be a bank holiday.

38. Happy St. George’s day, from a neighbour across the Severn bridge.

39. I’m on the dragons side lol

40. Why is St George’s day not a national holiday?

41. [interesting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_George%27s_Day).

43. As a Brit, living in Britain, with full access to the internet, I would like to say

44. It’s dragon remembrance day and you know it! 😹❤️

    

45. That knight outfit is sick. Is there any law from wearing that fit everyday?

46. It’s not St George’s day today

47. Wave your Chinese made flag in celebration of a Greek speaking Roman from an area that is now Turkish, and who is also the patron Saint of Georgia, Scouts and sex workers!

48. Amusingly, it’s not actually St. Georges Day, because of church rules around easter its actually next monday, double pissup anyone?
