>They would throw the same things at a certain Jesus of Nazareth.
>Can never tell which is more moronic, those Harry, Engerland and St George types, completely ignorant of the history as mentioned in the cartoon, or those who hark back to 'Anglo-Saxon' values, which indeed include arriving in what is now the UK by, er, small boat in around the 5thC from Northern Europe.
>Is the UK's favorite dish still chicken tikka?
>I sneer at all patron saints and the countries who venerate them........I'm an atheist.
>I think I might go down to Dover to counter-protest and to welcome the refugees in my strong Scottish accent.
>The English: Destroy the Middle East by aiding and abetting mass death and destruction and then scream and cling on to the St George Flag when small boats containing the people from the those regions arrive on our shores. Hypocrites.
>England for the Celts, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Vikings, Normans... On this we shall not bend! Idiots.
>And a lot of people in the UK think William the Conqueror was English.
>I have an umbrella bought in Strasbourg that displays the EU flag. To this day it still makes gammons turn puce and flail at the air.
>As the majority of people in the UK identify as atheists, why should we have a saint as a patron anyway ?
>Personally, I couldn't give a fuck about my heritage or identity. I'm just happy that I wake up every morning and still have my faculties and reasonable health. I'll be gone soon enough without worrying about where I came from.
