Happy St.George Day to everyone in England!
There's a few other nations who have him as Patron, and also use St.George style flags for their own

English Nationalism is different politically from, say for instance Scottish Nationalism which seeks to break away from rule by Westminster.
When I look at people in London celebrating St George I see the types who I accidently walked into when I Was walking through near Parliament. A Ukip Rally !
They looked at me like they wanted to tear me apart. It was obvious I wasn't one of them as I walked through their crowd. They were angry faces.

It is reported there were 6 arrests at the rally you may have seen. Why these types feel they have to attack Police and anyone else, I just don't know. An emergency person was attacked by this far right group. Strange we haven't heard too much condemnation of them from MP Braverman! from BBC News................. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-68883243 |

Why should St Georges day and the English flag be appropriated by far right political groups though ?
I see no obvious reason for it. But it must have to do with class oppression !
