St George's

[TonyN]

They been talking about ST. GEORGE DAY on my local radio the presenter said people that have flags waving outside their
house and flags on cars just show how common they are, if he lived next door to one of these flag waving houses
he'd sell his house and move elswhere.

Or one born in Germany, is it just called a Shepard?

Indeed, we just call them Shepard. (Schaeferhund)

It reminds me of that comedian who said "just because a dog is born in a barn, it dosent make it a horse "

Makes me wonder that a German Shepherd born in England really is?

Lost?

[PeeJay]

That's opening a whole other debate. He was of Greek genetics, born in Palestine while it is was under Roman control. So does that make him Greek? Palestinian? or Roman? Maybe just well travelled?

So, do your genetics or your location of birth determine "what you are?" Makes me wonder that a German Shepherd born in England really is?

A dog

Remember flying the flag is about being nationalist not racist

I thought he was welsh! I hope you lot are all going to show as much patriotism as the Irish.

Thought he was a Roman?

No, he was a Hobbit .... how else could he have killed a dragon?

[Wigan]

I don't get the racist claim that raises it head with the flag - after all - Georgios (Saint George) was a Greek born in Syria Palaestina and not even English?

A sad thing that anyone feels this needs saying...... has any other nation's flag been vilified as our's has?

It is sad how our flag has been hijacked by a minority of vile racists as their symbol of elitism. The fact that many people who wish to show some patriotism even have a slight concern they could be associating themselves with this minority is terrible.

Happy St George's Day everyone!
