Good for them !! I'm glad that someone has decided to ignore the whiners & bleaters & given the British & in particular the English some form of recognition. A most welcome change & good to see that instead of the issue being sidelined, positive reinforcement of Englishness is being condoned & promoted.
Unfortunately that positive attitude of "Being English" is being displayed in a "Province" & not the Capital City of our Country !! Why ??
Having looked there will be something going on in London after all -
St Georges Day at Trafalgar Square - St Georges Day London Events, Trafalgar Square St Georges Day Concert But there is no great fanfare & tadah being exhibited in its promotion
While "the Notting hill Festival" (West Indian/Caribbean) is massively endorsed, "Australia Day" Strewth mate ! Everyone knows about that & even LGBT (Lesbian,Gay,Bisexual &Trans-gender) "Pride" is given reams of coverage. Surely the Nations Patron Saint deserves a little more recognition ? That little known Government publication
