Big Geordie Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Was in town earlier, and there was a big National Front demo going on at the Monument. Me having an England top on made me feel a bit dodgy, as so did the facists. :-/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowen Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 There's only one reason this day isn't as big as St. Patrick's. England doesn't have a distinctive universally acclaimed national drink that is known the world around and identified immediatly with it the way Ireland does.

madras Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 i'm pretty sure St George came from what is now turkey and had very definite homosexual leanings. pretty funny how the far right are so enamoured with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_NUFC Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I'd prefer it if people up here wanted to celebrate St Cuthbert's Day on March 21 rather than St George's Day. I only feel semi-English and take far more pride in Northumbria than in England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a shame, but I wouldn't call it disgraceful. What's disgraceful is that the racists have attached themselves to it to such an extent that people feel that way.
