Edited April 23, 200421 yr by Louise

It's seen as a racist thing.

 

Not that any other national "Saint what's his name" day is any better.

England, St George Cross, all hi-jacked by the BNP or the likes. I for one love England, but I'm left feeling awkward by people that use it as an excuse to push their xenophobic agenda's.   It's about time it's made into a proper cellebration of England, much like St Patricks day.

ahh, getcha,

 

see what you mean now, such a shame we are too scared to celebrate our own national day

That and the fact that over the centuries we invaded many countries, killed and tortured their people, stole their land, told them they were savages and forced them to convert to christianity, and then brought them back to england to sell as slaves. How nice of us.
