Lets hear it for the people of Emsworth.
They are doing just what our government should be putting in place. How come the English, as a nation, don’t celebrate our Patron Saint. Yes the flags might fly but that is about it. Yet for St. Patrick’s day all the stops are pulled. Round here the pubs are more likely to be pushing a St. Patrick’s Day special with green beer etc. but for St. Georges day, nothing.
St. Georges day just passes as a notation on the pages of diary.
I think Emsworth has it right. We as a nation should celebrate St. Georges day and it should also be the day that is used to mark a day of respect for our armed forces and most of all as a day to celebrate being English.
I can hear the politically correct brigade saying “Ooo we can’t do that, we might upset some ethnic population Britain”. Well as an Englishman I am upset that we kowtow to everyone elses needs but never to our own.
The government flounders around, making noises about doing away with May Bank Holiday and replacing it with a Bank Holiday on St. Georges Day or perhaps Trafalgar Day in October.
Why do we have to lose May Bank Holiday, why can’t we have additional Bank Holidays ? Do something for the people, not to the people for a change.
Once more, for Emsworth and St George! – East Hampshire – The News.
