There's a patron saint they should celebrate all year round.

We're a mongrel nation and the better for it.

Both my parents were Irish but my brother and me were born here and consider ourselves 100% English. That's as it should be. Open societies welcome outside ideas and people and succeed as a result. Insular societies wither and die.

Many others are likewise 'mongrel' nations, but their culture isn't put down or belittled as ours seems to be. I don't understand why that is.

If you see the bad in everything English that's on you. There are shit loads of pictures online showing people enjoying St Georges day.

Everyone is a racist these days and it's just a lazy piss poor insult.

1. I don't.
2. Glad some people enjoyed the day
3. If it talks like a racist, and behaves like a racist, it's a racist.

Just anti-west sentiments really, petits Che's make a lot of noise for a tiny part of the population.

Some would argue that race is a construct, what we have is culture a shared experience. You'll find that the same people who disregard English culture absolutely revel in Scottish, Irish and Welsh culture.

As in there’s English people that do that?
