  • Im english but more important im a european i am all for having a national day but lets face facts here st george wasnt english he was a armenian turk so lets have a patron saint that is english or lets share the european national days that way we would get over a 100 public holidays a year )) sounds good to me .

  • I dont understand why people are so againts saint georges day. How can celebrating England be offensive??? Whats wrong with being English??? I am born in England but my parents are immigrants from Jamaica and it wouldnt offend me if people celebrated saint georges day.

  • great clip thanks

  • No, the British people exported the English language around the world through *British* colonialism. Most of the english speaking emigrants in Canada and Australia were Scottish or Irish so you could not be more wrong to say that England brought the world English - it was the British people who did this.

    And is that really the best reply to my point you can manage? Vulgar insults and swearing?

  • I hate Britain do I?! Add me on Facebook and you'll see me in the uniform of the Royal Air Force. I'm on the Durham network if you don't believe me.

    I don't hate Britain at all - on the contrary, this is the point I'm trying to make. Narrow minded nationalism will tear the United Kingdom apart.

    And as for India...English language renounced? English is the official language spoken in courst cases, at Parliament and by hundreds of millions of Indian people. Shows how much you know *sigh*

  • Since when has being a good Briton have anything to do with what political viewpoint you hold. Britain has a rich culture of democracy and independent political thought. Liberals and socialists brought us the NHS out of love of Britain and its people. Why are they Dirty?

  • This is the United Kingdom.

    There is no such thing as the Queen of England, English government, English army etc.

    Why revert to retrograde, petty factionalism? England ceased to exist in 1707 and we haven't looked back since the British home nations began to work together.

    If the British Union splits, both Scotland and England will be political pigmies, economically reliant on the European Union.

  • I enjoyed his talk. Clear, structured and well spoken.

    The cruder the comments, the weaker the argument.

  • amen!

  • english culture? i wasn't aware they had any. well except football violance and acting like total wankers when in any other counrty than their own. oh wait.... in their own country too!

  • fuck you. we have a very diverse culture. we also a multicultural nation, so there are a lot of non british things here, but there are loads of british things that arent negative.

    where do you come from? i bet youre culture isnt more diverse than ours.

  • cultural diversity describes many different cultures dumbass- not a specific 'culture'. As such, the vast majority of westernised countries can be described as a being multicultural.

    I'd love to hear about some positive aspect of English culture as lets be honest thats the point here. George is the patron saint of ENGLAND. Not a collection of countries grouped together under a flag who still hold onto their origional culture and dont tend to buy into this outdated British pish.

  • no.

  • i agree we had all our camping club and caravans tents and a big marquee and dressed in red and white and celebrated St.Georges day ... even if he wasnt English he is the only thing we have close to a patron Saint

  • You're right....

    We should be able to fly the flag on St.Georges day, but our culture is being destroyed so we can't.

  • What part of our culture is being destroyed? A lot of people seem to be saying this yet I still don't understand what they are referring to. Is it our scientific innovation, our ability to produce genre defining music and literature, our art and theatre, our food, our architecture, our sport, our sense of civility and fair play, our ability to overcome enormous odds, our ability to band together when times are hard, our diplomacy?What is it?And who is preventing you from flying a flag I fly one

  • ST. George wasn't even english.

  • Although the Scots, Welsh & Irish suffer from GB. The English suffer greatly, because we're generally disliked, no-one will protect us, & our culture is being destroyed.

  • what fucking culture ?

  • Sand people from Star Wars

  • Come on England, all this St Patricks Day stuff gets to me. We need a big St Georges!!!

  • to be honest yeh st patrick didnt do shit! he introduced christianity to irlend (i think) and that didnt go down all to well did it! but st george on the other hand SLAYED A CUNTING DRAGON so i think we should celebrate it more than the fucking irish, they only made it a holiday becuase they wanted to get drunk and didnt wanna go work cos they are lazy

  • Comment removed

  • HAVE A LOVELY DAY!

  • what makes him a pro nazi? hes proud to fucking english you tool

  • you call him a nazi yet you are wishing death upon him.

    hypocratic saying of the century. what's wrong with being proud of the country you were born and raised in?

  • YES it should be a holiday! Even St. Patricks Day is celebrated in New York!

    :o

    and im proud to be English and im sure a lot of other people are, I think we dont actually celebrate because of all the non-English people in our country...

  • Well said m8

    I agree totally.

  • 23 April a holiday..........yes please - it's my birthday ! !

    By the way, I live in Wales, so we'll have March 1st. - St. David 's day.

    Who's paying for all these holidays ??

  • Well said mate.

  • you sir, are an idiot.

  • What a nice guy! Great video! Very well said! I think the English are dragged down by lager louts and football hooligans. I'm Scottish and everyone thinks we are nutters up here when it's a small group! I lived in Ireland for 7 years and it was the same there. We are all pretty much the same. quiet, hard working and nice! So hugs to you for making this video! x

  • YAY FOR ENGLISH PEOPLE!

  • Everyone loves holidays LETS DO IT ^-^

    St Georges day is basically like every other day D:

  • nobody gives really f*ck about ST GEORGE i mean he was famous for killing things that dont exist! but who cares FREE HOLIDAY

  • To be fair, killing things that don't exist is really hard, he deserves his fame.

  • @EquusFerrarius Driving non-exsistant snakes out of Ireland is hard too.

  • To be honest like most of the English public, we couldn't give two fucks about St George we just want another bank holiday.

    So yes please, make it a holiday.

  • I completely agree with everything said in this video.

    Well done for making your point succinctly, clearly and non-confrontationally. It's a shame not everyone can manage the same.

  • There is no God!

    English Atheists unite, and debate with me on my channel!

  • EnglishAtheist, instead of debating on your channel whether or not god is real, why don't you just go out and meet people and talk it over with them?

    No one gives a fuck about your religious views!

  • Fair enough

  • I think the English should be able to support their Saints' day.

    We support our saint's day i Cornwall as do the Welsh, Scottish, Irish and Manx!

  • Also, you've gotta love the typical English pseudo-racist comments on this video. Apparently Britian has never, ever had any immigrants, and we've never, ever been anything but British. You know, apart from the Agles, Saxons, Romans, and Celts we all decent from. Say what you will, non-whites are still a minority in the country. The only reason people might think it is they're generally thick headed and live in an inner-city estate where immigrants generally have no choice but to live.

  • Shut the fuck up you child and wank off a yank!

    Proud to be English

    The reason all minorities live in one spot is so they all shit in the same pot, power in numbers.

    Go to lye in the midlands and you'll understand ... there just so good at getting out of shit ... pakistani's are the loop hole race

  • Oh, please. Don't tell me you know all this from a riveting article in the Daily Express...

  • To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if people just wanted St George's day to be a holiday just so they get another day off. Some of the proposed "celebrations" are simply false and shallow attempts to feel good about your nationality, like ceremonian moriss dancing. St David's Day in Wales isn't a holiday but it's still celebrated in both traditional and social (i.e, getting pissed) fashions. St George's day should just be that, and people shouldnt need a day off to be proud of who they are.

  • Yeah, make it a holiday! And St. David's day too. People who've come here are welcome to join in, right? After all, lots of people who we brand as immigrants were actually born here...

  • WOARRRGH!!! GREAT BRITIAN!!!!!!!

  • i love how people who hate immigration in the uk instead decide to move to a country where immigration isn't so bad. um, reality check. if immigration isn't so bad there, you won't get in in the first place, and if you do, YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

  • Ah-men We first got immagrents back in WW2 when we needed worker... WAIT! dont you dare start one of those anoying comment rants on racist BNPs.. I know its hard, but yeah- St. Georges day ftw!

  • Very well put!

  • that was just a shit joke hee

    ,hee sorry :D

  • are you spanish?

  • But can he play the guitar?

  • It should all just be light hearted fun as soon as it becomes that hysterically pathetic "U-S-A!!!" patriotism it gets a little sad. Display a flag get to the pub and have a laugh when I stroll down Cardiff streets on St. David's day it's always light hearted fun there will most likely be inflatable sheep being thrown around, take the piss everything is so serious nowadays. There is no need to bring immigration into this if people think you're racist for celebrating who you are, fuck em =]

  • too rite mate well said this is our fucking country and for some reason we are meant to be ashamed of that, and do all we can to not offend ethnic minorities who thanks to lax imagration laws will soon be the majority, completly insane, im gonna move to sweeden or finland or canada somwhere that isnt turning into a bubbling stinking culture clashing bog lead by a spineless politicly correct government, it a real shame whats happening to britain

  • wow. this is rubbish. if people actually celebrated st george's day maybe there would be a point in it being a national holiday, otherwise it may as well just be another bank holiday.

    people celebrate st patricks day because they get an excuse to get shitfaced, they celebrate easter, christmas, etc because of presents. what would they do on st georges day, watch a morris dance and eat scones? wheeee. englishness is a very boring national identity, as this boring video makes obvious.

  • Make St. Davids a holiday!

  • ur right, but every race moans, an england is not england ne more its just europe. too many immigrants in the country, its simple. it doesnt matter wot colour they r, there is too many of them earnin cash or sendin it home or claimin benefits, or fighting an ending up in hospital an the taxpayer has to pay the bill. things will get worse i think

  • fuck you, the only reasons immigrants are here is for work, which they do for cheap wage, so leave them alone and blsme the employer who chose a foreigner on less wage than a right wing prick like you.

  • something is wrong with your thought process. "OH HOW DARE IMMIGRANTS COME HERE AND WORK THERE SOCKS OFF AND KEEP OUR ECONOMY AFLOAT! BLAH BLAH BLAH"

  • nice one divo, go fuck off and read the daily mail, if you can read that is.

  • the problem's not the immigrants it's the benefit culture that's been created in this country - there's whole swathes of people who think it's their right to sit on their arses playing xbox all day smoking pot getting everything paid for by the state without contributing anything to society.

    then they look around and see that immigrants have come here to work to do the jobs that they are too f lazy to do and moan about all these foreigners stealing their jobs

    it's f laughable

  • you are all dicks

  • In the UK. we're more likely to get a public holiday for Mohammeds birthday than we are for St Georges day.

  • Your dam right, mate, look at the state of ENGLAND today. For fuck sake.

    I LOVE ENGLAND.

    AND IM HAPPY TO BE ENGLISH EVERY DAY

    but fuck what has happend!

  • ohh, poor Procyon! thats what IGNORANT white people in the uk like you always say. "oh, the muslims have this, the blacks have that, eastern eropeans have this, the asians have that" stop moaning and being so typically english and get up off your fat arse, stop sigining on and pouring yor money down your throat in the pub and get yours. If they can do it so can U.dont know how lucky u r. Honestly, people act as if life in england was peaches and cream. your forefathers were prob in the workhouse

  • Comment removed

  • So you support giving the blacks this and muslims that but deny Englishmen (Black and White) a day of celebration? Your the racist mate, so fuck off.

  • Amen mate I feel for this vid I am a British Caribbean and a walked around school wid my white and even asian mates on St. Georges day and BOOM!

    Go tshit loadsa abuse of muslims n even some blacks sayin it's rascist, so what I'm rascist cuz i wanna celebrate my country and nationality?

    It bullshit man we can't do anythin with out 'offending' the other groups o people.

    We celebrate Paddies day n nobody is bothered about tha n half the people tha celebrate it ent even Irish

  • Fucking idiot.

  • Comment removed

  • Im not a racist, i'm not right wing and i'm all for immigration, but i have to say you are right. Nut don't blame them, blame the government that encourages segregation

  • OIDARY U DICK! WHERE DOES It SAY I SUPPORT givin a day? i couldnt give a fuck about labels. a racist is omeone who thinks they superior due to the colour of their skin. not me.I'm also not an OTT nationalist either. but u gotta see that the bnp types that scream out ENG-ER-LAND all day long are idiots & usually dont have the intelligence 2 realise how stupid their arguements r (i.e. Procyon dropping sarcastic comments) they dont realise they hating cos they jus too lazy &have it easy in the uk

  • How very profound. Is this a comedy character you're developing?

  • Dopey posh nationalistic twat.

  • Totally agree that people should be proud of who they are. However England used to think of St Edmund as their patron. The north of England had the Irish saint Aidan who brough christianity to them. However if English people want to celebrate any day they choose. Good for you.

  • or bobby moore or grant mitchell

  • I'm not proud of my country. I used to be (when I was like, 12), but then I realised that there really isn't any reason to be proud of ANY country.

    I was born in the UK by accident. If I'd have been born 1000 years ago I'd be expected to be proud of being Mercian.

    I feel proud of my own achievements, and loyal to my family and friends. If you asked me to kill a German I'm friends with or an Englishman I've never met, then it'd deffo be the Englishman.

  • Yes believe it or not this is an actual medical conditon. Latin cutwantoo or in medical terms a fucking TWAT. NOW PISS OFF SOMEWHERE ELSE COZ WE DNT WANT PEOPLE LIKE YOU

  • He can't even play the guitar!

  • England is going down the shitter

  • how is it really personally i think its better than ever except all them bloody tourists

  • They should pass a prevention of tourism law.

  • agreed !! i hate that scottish twat of a primeinister !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • tony blair was worse and he wasnt scottish, nationality has othing to do with ability to rule the country.

    mayby if people had bothered to go in vote neither of them would have been in power?

  • tony blair is scottish he was born in scotland look it up, so most of the government, well most of the powerful ones are scottish, and yet freaking scotland says it can go alone without england which voted those scottish government twats

  • I agree with the sentiment here dude. But the idea of national identity is problematic. Even if you aren't proud of what your country has done or is doing (and very few nation states could claim a clean conscience there, England included) the symbols and embelms of a nation represent those misdeeds as much as they represent what is largely a falsehood when it comes to pride in ones national identity. We have things in common through language and culture sure, ...

  • We are citizens of the world. Where you are born is incidental. Only weak countries insecure in their collective identity need such a day of celebration. Perhaps England or the UK would count. I would prefer a bank holiday that an individual can elect to take when they want with out employers saying it's a busy period we expect you to work. Like we don't have lives.

  • woooooot!

    well im proud of where im from (England) but i dont think our goverment is

  • hjahah :)

  • did you know you got featured?

  • yeah - i thought something must be up when i started getting lots of comments a few days back!

  • Patrick was from wales.

  • St George was half Roman half Palestinian, not russian. He is also the patron saint of Russia and Palestine. Personally I think we should have a national day but I don't see why it has to be st Georges day. I don't revere saints so why should I celebrate a religious festival as my day of national pride? maybe when a party with balls gets in and reforms the polictical system so that is fair and equal we can have a constitution day. Until then I'll just have to celebrate all year round :)

  • Nice level headed bloke. I am sure there are more people like him out and about in this great nation of ours.

  • Let's all have a laugh at the English! Everyone else does!

  • Let the English celibrate St Goerges Day, as a English Holiday Not a British day :) HORAY FOR ENGLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

  • any one can be british you have to be dorn english amen

  • Im irish and makes me laugh how the english celebrate St Patricks day more than you do St George's day

  • no pride here mate,a country where those who cant be bothered benefit from those who can,,where x factor is popular tv,where jade goody is mourned,where a council flat,an i pod ,and a mixed race child is your carear choice,,fuck it

  • fair play to you mate, i wore an england rugby shirt on st georges day, its just nice to be patriotic. theres no harm in apeciating who you are or where you come from. no country has a perfect past but we all have a heritage to apreciate. and so what if he wasnt english, st patrick wasnt irish (although i accept he spent a lot of time there) hes meant a lot to many englishmen over the years.

  • Im english and im often ashamed by the country i love residents. Many of them are loud mouth arrogant little shits. And why cant i feel that because the rest of the world sees england as a place full of idiots with the mental agility of a small rodent.

  • Crap. =l

    Hes gay.

    >=l

  • English and proud!

  • That did nothing didn't it.

  • fuck off yah fucking english bastard

  • i have that guitar in blue baby ;)

  • Hate Thatcher HATE the sun, but it amazes me how some people are so quick to jump on the idea of this day beig a holiday/promoted - you insult a lot of people (those suggesting this) who are not way your 'painting' them- any way sod this, life to short.

  • ST GEORGE NEVER EVEN SET FOOT IN ENGLAND

    HIS NAME WASNT GEORGE

    AND HE DIDNT KILL NO FUCKING DRAGON.

    why not have a bank holiday everyday like me

    you twat

    why not have a bank holliday on margaret thatchers expected death date??

  • your an idiot its not about who or hat george did its about the idea of his legioned

    why do the brits still celebrate guy folks night even 400 years after its called culture so sod off you village idiot

  • That would've been so righteous if you had checked you're spelling mate.

  • Mainly because in practically every other country, their national day is a bank holiday.

  • I am afraid my friend that your point will not get through to most "Englishmen" who watch this ,as unlike you ,they read the Sun Not the Times, :-)

  • pull ur head out of your arse u snobby twat

  • ''In copying and pasting my reply you're only reinforcing it'' God you really are up your self.

    ''The very last thing we need in this current economic climate is another bank holiday'' Thinking one extra bank holiday would have extra overly negitive contributing effects makes you the cretin.

  • i put my George flag up in work for the day and was reported by an Irish colleague as being offensive, even though he chooses to live here and not Ireland. Thankfully political correctness didn't win and i could keep my flag flying! Hurrah for common sense. I don't remember any of us in the office whinging on Paddy's day when he sang Irish songs and wore a hat with an Irish flag on it.

  • BOMB ENGLAND. Ur 1 of them sad terroists who sends a suicide bomber to do the dirty work for u. Hope ur life suks.

  • no l ment if in the England they celebrate st patrick,s , we should be able to celebrate st george,s day

  • A day for the people to celebrate being in English in anyway is good thing, your just picking fault - you a spoiler mate.

  • plus, what the fuck is he on about?

  • dude its just another day,

    what would you seriously spend the day doing if you were at home?

    my bet is that you wouldn't be worshiping st. George all day...

    so what do you want the day off for?

  • if the Irish can have st patrick's day in the UK ,why cant the English have a bank holiday on st George,s day what,s wrong with that

  • St. Patrick's Day is only a bank holiday in Northern Ireland, not the UK entirely. The last thing this country needs at the moment is another bank holiday. Those who push for one are not doing so for patriotism, they're doing it because they want an extra day to laze about.

    At least St. Patrick had something to do with Ireland, unlike St. George, a Turk notorious for killing a creature that never existed. What on earth has he got to do with England or Englishness for that matter?

  • _Ireally should leave well alone proberbly- but.. philosopherking that iis pathetic, when you've been in working world for more five minutes feel free to comment.

  • What has age or experience got to do with anything? I'm more than capable, if not more capable than you by the sound of it, to make a judgement. Fuck off you patronising prick

  • to quote you

    ''Another point that is worth mentioning is that most of the supporters of the motion that St. George's Day should be a bank holiday, want it as an extra bank holiday, not a replacement. ''

    & ''Those who push for one are not doing so for patriotism, they're doing it because they want an extra day to laze about.''

    god forbid we get another bank holiday, no you fuck off you wanker.

  • What point are you trying to make you cretin? The very last thing we need in this current economic climate is another bank holiday. In copying and pasting my reply you're only reinforcing it and making yourself look like a tool. So once again, fuck off.

  • calm down
