Long overdue. Nice one Nigel!

As long as the holiday is for England  exclusively. 

I've never voted UKIP but I've just read (summarised version) their manifesto.

I have to say that there is little or nothing that I disagree with.

Thought you might appreciate this Paul ......

I think that makes Ukip's point. Useful hardworking people that want to contribute are welcome to join team UK.

@neilh

Don't understand - surely you didn't think St George was English?

Just as St Patrick isn't Irish and St Andrew isn't Scottish. In fact the only native patron saint in Gt Britain (or the UK for that matter) is St David.

PS: St Gregory the Great wasn't born in Dawlish!

@Huw  No, of course not!   One of the great things about Britain is the historical influx of people of other races, religions, nationalities that have created the multi-cultural gene-pool we have today and contributed to the development of the country.  We didn't have our own dragon-slayers so where would we have been without St George?

Well.......we'd still have dragons which might be fun. lol

Yes dragons would be interesting!
