St George’s Day

[DualityNSNO]

I know St George is from Turkey and all that, but do you think the reason he is so popular in England down to the fact it gives us an annual celebration of the complete subjugation of the Welsh?

Cappadocia wasn't Turkey at the time and wouldn't be for about 1000 years or so - both his parents were wealthy Greeks too - but it was Roman occupied. Apparently he denounced the Roman pagan belief in favour of the church and was an opponent of paganism.

You got him as a saint and all the dragon-slaying nonsense from our objectively better Eastern Orthodox Church as Britain is allergic to originality if it's not some cringe sing-song competition. He was picked as a patron as he's perceived as strong because of the dragon-slaying and all.

But you do definitely also use the occasion to rightfully celebrate subjugating the Welsh.

Starting St George’s Day as every Englishman should, in a Spoon’s.

The first 23 through the door this morning get a free Dyche cocktail to start this most glorious of days in style.

Reckon they could scotch a pickled egg? I recoil at the thought.

We are probably the only country on the planet that takes the piss out of ourselves, the flag and our national identity… Surely that, and subjugating the Welsh, Scots and Irish, should make you proud…..
