We think it's about time St. George's Day got the recognition it deserves, and that's why, with your support, we're campaigning for a Bank Holiday on St. George's Day. follow this link

And if anyone fancies celebrating the old Turks day in style, the Circulation will be putting three bands on. The Snakecharmers, The Monday Club and the Voodoos on St.Georges Day, Sat 23rd April. ;)

Saw on the news again today how a bar has been told they face a £50 fine for each flag they have up. It's ridiculous. Why is this country so ashamed of it's heritage?

i have just posted this on accy web concerning the same argument ....

IT MAKES ME SICK

certain other religions can place certain symbols and their natinal flag on certain buildings and noone blinks an eye (in a pc way for the sake of being called a racist)...we put up our national flag to celebrate our patron saint and we get told to take them down ....well i say ....BO****KS to them ...im flying my flag with pride ...

It is disgraceful. For a supposedly democratic nation that we can't celebrate our Patron Saint for fear of being penalised is utterly outrageous. I wonder who decides these things?
