>Saint George’s Day is normally celebrated on 23 April. However, Church of England rules denote that no saints’ day should be celebrated between Palm Sunday and the Sunday after Easter Day.
I wonder whether some people will just read the headline and think this is real.
>As long as he’s down there with his weird mates, he’s not up here getting in the way of the hoovering, so that’s fine with me.”
lol
( mind you and recognising *it’s a joke* – its a bit worrying that there probably are people in their basement somewhere believing similar nonsense and possibly in a country with easier access to fire arms).
St George? The Greek soldier in the Roman army who refused to denounce Christianity 1700 years ago so they killed him… that bloke? The same fella who 700 years later was suddenly responsible for killing a dragon? The one we have pictures wearing steel plate mail developed some time after the dragon story got invented? The one who got his head chopped off on April 23rd 303 (because there’s accurate records of this stuff from then)? He gets his “day” in the U.K. every year? Historical bollocks.
(Edit: are the downvotes for my very short summary of the facts taken from the Wikipedia article on st George or for claiming it’s all historical bollocks?)
Would Priti Patel want him to go to Rwanda before entering the U.K.?
Yes keep on making jokes. Meanwhile the conservatives win every election on the promise of immigration control. Brexit passed on the promise of immigration control.
The country continues to go down the pipe, because the left are so busy holding what they think is the moral high ground that they can’t stop losing.
Until Labour start making solid promises on immigration, this will be a conservative ruled nation. Even with disaster after disaster.
Celebrating with a carling, 20 LnB in benidorm eating a full English.

What a load of total bollocks. Here’s
my downvote.
What? Mate we closed the high street had a massive parade
They wouldn’t have to if they could separate patriotism from nationalism. I know it’s satire but people would warm up to English patriotism if it was associated with more than blokes pissed on Carling crying on about how much better England is than everywhere else and then singing ‘Ten German Bombers’.
These days, if you say you’re English you get arrested and thrown in jail, dont you.
