WHAT a classic St George's Day that was!

In a survey of 90,000 children from 28 countries, English schoolchildren came bottom for patriotism, a Southport teacher refuses to fly the national flag because "Britain is a multi-cultured society and to have a day celebrating just one culture is wrong".

The same day Manchester United pay £19m for a foreign player (to join the many others in various teams), another good day's trading in the quest to rid us all of 'Britishness'. Chris Davies MEP must have had a sigh of contentment on that evening.
