You lot have no sense of National Pride - actually it's hard for you to have pride in the flag and all that malarkey - the hooligans have made sure of that.

I really don't care to be honest. It's a good excuse for a few beers with my mates, and I'll settle for that.

I hope everybody else is going to celebrate our patron saints day, regardless of your nationality !!!!

The second problem is that as soon as they really learn to tell the difference, they will feel English as distinct from British, and at that moment Britain is finished. It will not be rebellious Scots but cantankerous Englishmen who break up the United Kingdom.
At the moment, most of you don't believe that, don't understand it, or don't care. I'll remind you that I told you so when it comes about.

I believe that the patron saint of Germany, St. Boniface, is, or was, an Englishman
