I personally find it mad that the council still go full tilt on paddy’s day in mcr (and ignore st George).

The council dont organise st paddy's day but lots of willing volunteers and a committee do.
The English want a parade but not many will get off their arses and help organise it.

Yes. Go to any Irish pub / society in England and scratch below the surface and all the rebel songs come out - believe me I KNOW.

I grew up in and around Irish pubs, you’re talking nonsense.
Even if you get a couple of pissed up clowns singing rebel songs, you think that’s a good reason to ban a St Patrick’s day parade?
Plenty of English lads sing offensive songs also, but you’re insisting on a St. George’s parade?
Absolute horse shit!

Well, unlike you my friend I’m pretty public on who I am and my name speaks for itself so I’m pretty well versed in what goes on with most 2nd / 3rd generation oirish folk behind close doors. I’m not saying ban it if the plastics want it, I’m saying why are the council constantly pandering to them.... bizarre.
