A left of field comment possibly but something that I have long thought to be true in regard to the English celebrating St. George's day.

I am old enough to have seen changes in England. When I was young St. George's day was not celebrated. No one cared. It was not an issue.

All the time that I have lived the Irish, Scots and Welsh have celebrated their patron saint's day. The English did not.

The reason, in my opinion without wanting to offend anyone is this:

The Irish, Scots and Welsh are defeated countries. Historically that cannot be argued with? Defeated by the English and in one form or the other forced to live under English rule in varying degrees spanning centuries. I am not defended the rights or wrongs of this.

For one day a year they took the opportunity to put 2 fingers up to the English and embrace their own nationality by celebrating their patron saint. Far more complicated than that of course and more than one day a year in many cases but...

The English never felt the need to do this. No one ever stopped them flying their flag or stopped them "being English". Until about the 1980's and full on in the 1990's.

No foreign nation invaded. No wars were fought and lost. A more deviant force started to defeat the English from within. And dictate how they lived and disassemble that which had gone before.

That is when the English started to feel the need to celebrate their patron saint. As defeated nations do.

 

Very good post there and a totally different view, genetically the english have more continental dna compared to the irish, scotch and welsh, the english gave been attacked on thr southern coast for as long as we have recorded history, where we other home nations have the ancient celt and norse dna, until recently the english always changed more until the jet age, now we have been out crossed to camel jockeys and africans.  England is too mixed up for peoples to care now as they have no loyalties to their host countries.

Interesting post. I am English. I was born in England. I am a mix of English, Irish and a small part Scottish (thank God only a small part Scottish).

Sad to think that the conquest of England and the rest of the British Isles will be fulfilled with barely a wimper

Sadder still to think it was done by our own who we elected ! 
We have literally committed national suicide.

The sheep shaggers of the north are as genetically different to the sheep shaggers of the south than the English are to the Scots, they are not one people.

This is not a recent phenomena. 

Those of southern Wales also have genetic differences within each other.

DNA study shows Celts are not a unique genetic group

A DNA study of Britons shows that, genetically, there is not a unique Celtic group of people in the UK.

No, it really isn't, nothing to do with the BBC. 

And if you go back far enough then yes we were African.

Let's stick with science and genetic evidence hey, you should read up on anthropology.

Surely you evolutionists know that modern civilisation started in the middle east??? And we are menat to be african mixed with neanderthal, and the far east african mixed with denisovian?
