Happy St Georges’ Day!

Here’s an interesting article on BBC News. The idea of St Georges’ Day being a bank holiday seems to be gathering some steam. You can find a petition here on the Number 10 website.

I like the idea behind the petition:

“England needs a national day of celebration. A day when all the English – regardless of colour or religion – can recognise what binds us together.”

The author is right, we DO need a day that brings us together as one nation.  I’ve said before, it’s important for us to reach past our differences peacefully, I believe it’s the only way we’ll have a future worth living in.
