St Georges Day.

[number2]

it makes the Tommy Robinson's, Inglish till we die, St. George cross wavers look even dafter...when you know the original George's origins...chortle Ah Ingland.

It's sadly at odds with my childhood memories of the cross of St George flying above the local church, back then it represented fairness, an out stretched hand to those in need, a country with it's feet firmly planted in the idea of decency, good triumphing over bad and the rule of law, a sort of ''Foyle's War'' notion of England if you will, but now hijacked by the kind of people ''our boys'' fought against, and the imagery that goes with it such as stern armour clad crusaders, sigh it harks back to 1930's Teutonic knights.
