BasilRathbon Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Has anyone seen the report in today's Daily Mail in which the Head of the PC Brigade has suggested that St George's Day be renamed St Mohammed's Day from next year in case it offends asylum seekers? Disgraceful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeoplesVoice Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 The legend of St George and the Dragon was brought to Europe by returning Crusaders. According to that story, a dragon made its nest at the water source of a city. The city's inhabitants had to offer sheep to the dragon in order to be allowed to draw water. However, they eventually ran out of sheep and the dragon demanded humans instead. Lots were drawn to see which unfortunate person would be offered to the dragon in exchange for the right to draw water. On one occasion, the princess of the city drew the shortest stick. The king begged for her life, but it was in vain; all had an equal chance of being sacrificed to the dragon. At the crucial moment, St George appeared and challenged the dragon. Protected by the sign of the Christian cross, St George slew the dragon and rescued the princess. The grateful citizens of the city then converted to Christianity. Our ruling political elite strives to eliminate or dismantle anything that gives the native people of the British Isles any sense of identity, tradition or cultural loyalty. So it should be no surprise that the liberal-left has for decades waged a relentless war against any celebrations on St. George's Day. In their eyes, recognition of our nationhood will endanger the "multi-cultural, multi-ethnic society" they wish to impose on the British people. Better to eradicate any remnants of national identity whatsoever, lest our people realise what they are losing... Happy St.Georges Day, English political dissidents!

I seem to remember a couple of years back old frugal Gordon made a big play of putting a St. George's flag on 10 Downing St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
