Well, a couple of years ago our beloved (!!) leader Red Ken Livingstone earmarked a fairly large sum of council (i.e. OUR) money to celebrate St Patrick's Day. When he was asked for similar funding for St George's Day, he refused. This is what we are contending with.

That said, on St George's Day a huge flag hangs outside our local ironmongers - and he has smaller St George's flags up all year. He is Asian. If he can be proud, we d**n well should!

I shall be sinking a few in celebration!
