Whatever misgivings you have about the origins of St George, it is our national day and no one should be reprimanded for celebrating it with a flag or two just because someone somewhere might get offended.
I'll just set your mind at rest that I have never read the Daily Mail, or indeed any newspapers on a regular basis save the Lancashire Telegraph. I don't think the Daily Mail has the monopoly on PC stories, does it???

Oh yes, doubtless there'll be a few stories, as I've already said, but your scenario of a nation of proud Englishmen and women cowed into silence by the oppresive hand of authority hardly rings true. Traditional apathy would be nearer the mark.
As for the Mail, I was actually referring to Jaysay who always likes to keep us in the picture on PC madness stories from that august organ!
