St Georges Day

St Georges Day

Monsieur, with these logos, you are spoiling us!

Happy St Georges Day for yesterday.

Having a day for a national holiday seems like a good idea, seeing as Ireland, Scotland and Wales all have one. Unfortunately, these sort of things tend either be an excuse to flog more beer or seem to get hijacked by loonies, racists and Daily Telegraph readers. :)

  • I saw your blog and thought you may be interested in a campaign we are organising to encourage people to take the day off work on St Georges Day next year.

    We want the government to introduce a bank holiday on 23 April. They have refused in the past because they believe there is insufficient support. If a sizeable number of us take the day off work it will send a powerful message to those in charge.

    If they won’t give us a bank holiday, we will organise our own.

    I am sure you appreciate that a bank holiday on St. George’s Day will be a great opportunity for all the English, regardless of colour or religion, to recognise the things that bind us together rather than concentrating on our differences.

    Everything from cricket to curry could be celebrated on our national day.

    Please go to http://www.stgeorgesholiday.com and join thousands of others who have pledged to take the day off work on Monday 23 April 2007.

    Kind regards
    Graham Smith

    P.S. We plan to contact a number of celebrities and ask them to support the campaign, I would be interested to hear your suggestions on who to contact. Many thanks.
