Cracking article

We had flags and bunting all over the house and front and back gardens including our 10ft St George Cross with Leicester City emblazoned across it, hanging out of the upstairs windows.

I am proud to be English and support my country and don't care who knows it.

Swear nothing looks tackier than when people deface a flag with writing that isn't meant to be there.

Did you dress as a Knight and smack around a Dragon shaped piñata in your garden too?

Great day as always, those who want to celebrate do so. I still can't believe how many people you see who seem desperate to be told they can't celebrate it and then how many who are desperate to seek out all those who want to be told they can't celebrate it.

 

In the words of a great man....

 

"As for a national holiday for it, no thank you, if we do that it means we've become a feeble little country like the Scots, Welsh or Irish, once upon a time England was a great country, one who is distinguished by the fact we don't have national dress, we don't make a huge fuss about Shakespeare like the Scots do about that dreadfully boring poet Burns let alone an awful thing like the bagpipe. Typical small nations with an 19th century style romantic nationalism about them, would you really want to turn up at Murrayfield or Cardiff wearing little collars and velvet knickerbockers?, neither would I"

I think it's quite positive we have a cynicism towards flag-waving and jingoism. Heaven forbid we turn into the Americans.

We don't like causing a fuss

No, I'm a gay Muslim!
