"Sadly we can't celebrate it for fear of bien called far right or racist ..but happy st George day to all my fellow English people and everybody else x" Should the far right be celebrating St George? From my recollection of history, he was from Cappadocia (modern-day Turkey), was a Roman army officer, and was martyred in Palestine - so not your typical white anglo-saxon. Guess one thing that the right might like about him was that he never came over to England (didn't that farage chap threaten us around the time of Brexit with being inundated with people from Turkey? maybe we need to send St George back )  | |||

"Sadly we can't celebrate it for fear of bien called far right or racist ..but happy st George day to all my fellow English people and everybody else x" Celebrating the life of someone who came from either Turkey or Lebanon (sources vary) shouldn't be a sign of racism. Celebrating St George's Day is a fine way to remember the contributions to England made by people from all over the world. | |||

"Happy St George's day. As a Cynraes I don't celebrate. But take a leaf out of your Celtic neighbours books. Celebrating your national day doesn't just mean waving a flag, which is a tad boring let's be honest. Engage with your nations rich history, learn some regional dialect or eat some regional dishes, read some epic English writers books, go admire your beautiful landscape, the list is endless. Much more interesting than a flag, people moan they can't take pride in their country. Nobody is going to object to you talking about Shakespeare, that the Peak District is absolutely beautiful or that Morris dancing is kinda cool (well it is in my opinion). " | |||

"Funny how we probably celebrate St. Patrick’s day more than poor old George and he is the patron Saint of England 🏴 Are you have a drinky for George ? Good excuse anyway 😁" I saw a church service and a flag at 1/2 march in my town center. And people looking over confused. I dare say st Patricks day is just more fun | |||

Firstly did I not say flag waving is a bit boring and is not the only way to show pride in your country? Additionally there are 6 Celtic nations the majority of which do not have parades that are associated with any political sides of the spectrum. But as you say " How to say youre clueless wuthout saying youre clueless" | |||

St George's was never taught at my school. The only two occasions I heard it mentioned was in an episode of Fawlty Towers and Dad's Army, and when I stayed in Bournemouth and saw Morris dancers. This year I will try to celebrate good old 'Empire Day' in May and watch a bit of Carry On Up the Kyber.
