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

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.

It's the national day for England and like the other UK nations I like to celebrate it or are all the happy people who celebrate St Andrew, St Patrick and St David days only doing so because they're religious?
