I agree John, but hopefully we are making good steps to reclaiming our flag from the far right. An organised festival would surely help this. See you down the Lamb & Flag next year.

Have to agree with all said - but there is still this BNP-ness about the whole thing unfortunately. There was a march in Brighton yesterday organised to show that St Georges day was popular with the masses and that we should have a bank holiday etc. etc. - not many turned up and as I was walking out of a shop I heard the delightful rendition of "no surrender" as the small crowd marched down towards the seafront.

Unfortunately until that part of St Georges Day is eliminated not as many people will celebrate it - Oh, and a tip for next year - get down to the Lamb & Flag in Cov Garden - always do something there for it.

In fact, I seem to be drinking for England!

Good for the burghers of Blackburn. Happy Red Rose Day - BBC has been very quiet about it though....

Apparently the town of Blackburn is having a large St George's Day party so you could get yourself up there.

Good man. There was free London Pride at Latymers.

If it's any comfort, I'm celebrating with a pint and pie!
