St Georges Day!

[Karinska]

All together now...

"We don't want to fight but by jingo if we do...
We've got the ships, we've got the men, and got the money too!...."

Give us a break for God's sake!

I think jingoism is all but dead in this country now anyway

jingo bells, jingo bells.....


How beastly

Englands true patron st is St Edmund, wasn't St George imposed on the English by the Normans in an attempt to deAnglicise them.
At least st Pat was born in mainland Britain befóre being taken to Ireland as slave.

Just spent the weekend at Wrest Park near Bedford for EH's St Georges day event. Loads of flags and people wearing the cross.
There was a "kiddies battle" and a 4 year old girl in our group took part. When she came off the field she proudly announced that she was " English and not one of those stinky Frenchies"
