I'd love to see St. George's day celebrated. I'm as proud an Englishman as they come. But the fact is that 23 April has a lot of company for bank holidays around that time of year, and that is a genuine problem. Perhaps the second May bank holiday, whose purpose I don't actually know, could be moved to 15 June as Magna Carta day. That is an English document, not a British one, and the weather would be nicer too. And people can throw things at pictures of King John.
While we're at it, let's have a Britain wide bank holiday for Trafalgar day. We should invite President Macron.
So glad you said this Patrick. There is no shame in being English. Let’s reinstate St George’s day a great day day to celebrate our brilliance

He'd love that I'm sure! I think we have to stick with April 23 for St George though.
