Happy St George's Day!

by The Illusive Man

I can’t remember where abouts I saw it now, but someone somewhere in the blogsphere is keeping a tally, complete with photographs, of where they have seen the English flag flying in perhaps unusual places. I haven’t seen it anywhere unusual at all lately, but I did spot these signs up all around my local [...]

We won't fly EU any more

by The Illusive Man

I read the following on the front page of the Shropshire Star tonight with a great deal of relish: Leader puts stop to flying EU flag over council’s HQ The European Union flag will be banished from flying over Telford & Wrekin Council’s headquarters – except for a few days a year – by the [...]

The Institute for Public Policy Research has also said in its recommendation to The Cyclopean One that creating such a holiday would also [...]

Country in need of a modern St George

by The Illusive Man

I spotted this in the letters page of the Shropshire Star while I was catching up with my reading. I agree with the sentiment of the letter, but I don’t see that England needs a “new” or a more “modern” St George. The one we have now suits me just fine, all we need to [...]

Happy St George’s Day. This txt not available in Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, Polish, Russian, German, French or any other fucking immigrant tongue. God [...]

St George's Day Discrimination

by The Illusive Man

It’s St George’s day, and I note that Google are not celebrating with us. Its odd that the clueless fuckers in charge of the company are OK with having a Google logo with imagery to celebrate St David’s day. Or St Andrew’s day. Or St Patrick’s day. But come St George’s day and there is [...]

St George's Day Holiday

by The Illusive Man

Whilst perusing the BBC news pages, I came across this story. There has, of course, been a very lengthy campaign to get St George’s Day recognised as a bank holiday. After all, England is about the only country that doesn’t have a holiday to celebrate it’s patron saint. The petition was started by Charles Wells [...]
