These do-gooders interfering with our customs & traditions. AGAIN!!!!
Oh! you can't worship that God, or have that saint because I or someone else might be offended as he's apparently too violent!! What a load of c**p!! Leave our traditions alone. Political correctness gone completley insane. Do these people have nothing better to do? If you don't like our traditions, or laws. Then you don't have to live here. You have a choice. I happen to like living here & am prepared to live & let live. I object to being dictated to by people so far up their own a**e they're invisible!!

It is because we are not english any more gone are the days where we had freedom of speech it sok for all these immigrants to come over and milk csociety but as soon as we want to show our patriotism it is politically incorrect and sometimes deemed racist. I have a great big mosque being built near me but you dont see me saying its racist or not pc. LET THE BRITISH BE BRITISH LET US SHOW OUR PATRIOTISM. RULE BRITTANIA THATS THE ANSWER...
if you feel so badly about it Forlawn Hope go trace St georges Roots he may have been born in Turkey and you are so wrong he did Come to BRITAIN.

Well at least St Alban actually existed and lived in Britain. Not onlt was St George not English, he never had the decency to visit us and slay our pesky dragons. Why de we need a ficticious saint who's main claim to fame is killing off a ficticious creature?
The only reason for not changing our patron saint is the fact that we would then have to get rid of the St George's cross on the England flag. I happen to like our flag.

I presume you are English? (I ask because St. George is also the national saint of Georgia, as well as patron saint of Moscow, and the Lombardia region of Italy.)
Anyhow, yes, if you as an English person accept a Turk as the patron saint of your country, then (seriously) great! More power to you. Nice to see some international integration.

I celebrate St Georges day every year in a village near me. They have morris dancers, english ale and everything. People need to make a stand. Celebrate St Georges day, fly the flag and be proud of being English!!!

it quite is genuine that George grew to become into no longer British; he looks to have been a Syrian. yet of course Patrick wasn't Irish. He looks to have been from a Roman kinfolk living in England and grew to become into taken to eire in circumstances no longer completely sparkling. If England might desire to have a client saint then St Alban might seem a extra obtrusive candidate.

Yes. If not, why stop there? Change the name of the country next maybe.
