Quite apart from the fact that he’s wasn’t English, never visited the country, and obviously didn’t kill any dragons, St George’s Day is still something that polite society has more or less nothing to do with.

Here’s why:

Eng-er-land!
Eng-er-land!
Eng-er-land!
Eng-er-land!
National Front!
National Front!
We’re white, we’re proud, we’re very very loud!
We’re white, we’re proud, we’re very very loud!

(As shouted by racist oiks walking past my office window today.)

Update: I’d forgotten to add the National Front part; it’s now corrected.
