saint george is the english patron and also i am english and living in england and i wanted to know why does the english celebrate saint patricks day (the irish patron ) more than its own

Because we had a huge influx of Irish people into this country and it is also a celebration of their (my) heritage. Also, after the Revolution, many Americans were looking to purge themselves of anything they percieved as English.
