Why isn’t there an International Women’s Day?

The British summer is my favourite day of the year.

One day, this country will sort out it’s icons, saints and symbols.

Firstly, I have no interest in George of Lydda. He was a Greek born in Turkey, he was a soldier and he was part of a foreign religion in the 200’s. He can do one!

Secondly, why do we make so much of the British Lion? Why can’t we have a British animal? I know we made the cool ones (Bears, Wolves & Eurasian Lynx) extinct in this country but any of them would be better than a Lion, it’s a foreign African animal FFS. Australia have got it right with their Kangaroo symbolism.

Now that we’ve got Brexit done and the Greek prince is dead, it’s about time we got control of our symbols and patron saints back again!

Edit: St George is the patron saint of Moscow. Tells you everything you need to know about him.

We used to have lions and tigers and bears... In the old slavery and oppression days...

Sad state of affairs. Unlike the Scots, Welsh and Irish we can't celebrate our national saints days without being branded as racist and zenophobic by the 'tolerant' arbiters of what is acceptable to them.

(....and yes, I do realise that some racists and zenophobes will celebrate St. George's day, just the same as some racists and xenophobes support the Albion or ride bicycles and do other ordinary things that ordinary people do; it doesn't make the other people doing these things racist or xenophobic too)

Not at all. For me it’s not wanting to be associated with the usual type of person who celebrates this day. Also, given the current state of the country….what exactly are you celebrating?

I was hoping for a poll of favourite Georges.



Carlin BTW


...or maybe Peppard



...or maybe Wendt.

George Carlin takes some beating

George Carlin takes some beating

George Michael, much as I disliked some of his music, had one of the best pop voices I've ever heard live. The guy could really, really sing.

Shoreham Wordfest showed excellent timing producing their annual celebration of Shakespeare today
