    It’s s sad state of affairs, where every nation can have its nation’s day.
    But, if you’re English it’s not seen as national pride, but a racist or bigoted.

    Although not English myself, but born in the sceptered isle I celebrated what should be a bank holiday

    Blame those who hijacked it for racist purposes, and those who let it happen. And why have a Saint for a nation's day?

    It's now almost impossible to disassociate our flags from those who stole them from us, NF, BNP, Vote leave, Fromage and of course our very own high chancellor Bozo, flags at briefings, flags to be flown 365 from public buildings, pride replaced by nationalism - not the first time in history.
