St. George. Who's he then?

Our patrol saint of England seems to be going into decline. There are very few organised events. Quite a few of them are clebrations in pubs which are as much marketing and sales opportunity as traditional.
Whilst nationalism in Wales and Scotland is on the up, poor old George is faced with multi-culturism in his land. Where he once rode out to slay dragons and rescue maidens, people are looking for obscure interpretations of action that might, maybe, just possibly be seen as offensive to some extremist hothead looking hard for something about which to express a warped opinion and demand special recognition.
No sweat though. It's been tried before and failed. The opposition this time is stronger and the road to recovery will be longer.

My guest today is a bit of a plain speaker. Nothing wrong with that.
