    As much sense as wearing a burqa , FGM or religious circumcision etc yet less painful.

        Agreed. Any form of religious celebration or participation makes very little sense. Your whataboutery though, doesn't excuse flag shaggers for celebrating a religious figure from a religion you don't believe in.

          I celebrate Christmas yet I don't believe in God. I respect the winter solstice but I am not pagan.

          You do seem quite upset about this, does your wife's lover wear union jack shorts?

            I'm not upset at all. I find it amusing.

            You carry on masturbating over the mythical bloke killing the dragon.

                  Ahh Saint Georges Day...

                  It’s like Saint Patrick‘s Day but without the fuss.

                    It’s like Saint Patrick‘s Day but without most English not knowing when it is.
