Drunkenness, fights and racist chanting

[Gromit]

Another St George day is over.

Do the English not know how to behave themselves, and celebrate their christian faith without descending into yobbery?

[squarebear]

I don't see what St George has to do with Christian faith.

[youngmafbog]

And neither does being English have anything to do with christian faith either.

This was a minority of idiots. I notice the paper doesn't say how many of the 200 were chanting etc, just says a minority.

Looks like a tiny paper, probably struggling in the recession looking for sensationalism.

Journalistic garbage an applying it to the whole nation is sinful gromit.

[jake-the-peg]

You mean the radical English minority that give the others a bad name?, like the radical muslim minority that give the other muslims a bad name?

Is it like that?

[jackthehat]

Bah !
I've tried but failed to find links of the English enjoying a pint, or two, which passed off without incident..........

Strangely none of the papers seem to have printed any....

[theglove]

These thugs are certainly in the minority
of people celebrating St.georges day.

[R1Geezer]

Not Like you to have a go at the English Gromit. What happenned someone stuck some angel dust into your organic mulled peace wine?

[Hazel104]

I think Jake has made a very pertinent point there.

I�ll be interested to see the response to his question, if there is one forthcoming that is.

[DSnewsKE]

It was just the BNP celebrating their Englishness.

[jake-the-peg]

I particularly enjoyed youngmafbog saying

Journalistic garbage an applying it to the whole nation is sinful gromit.

It's taken me this long to stop laughing!

And they say irony is dead

It would seem that the Irish can beat us any day, when it comes to violence on Saint's Days.

strange that they are even allowed to live in england innit?

gurkhas fight for the country.

yet theyre allowed to stay in england why?

because their inbred mother shagged an inbred guy resulting in an inbred lager lout.


patriotism is merely about who screwed who where wnd when.

simple

Wow, a whole four people were arrested- I bet the cells were full to bursting over that lot being put into them!

[vulcan]

reference the remark regarding the Irish,violence and �35,000 policing costs. the students in Belfast come from all over the world including England.

[carrust]

Sounds like a typical football crowd, without the football!

[B00]

And the referees, halftime and the halftime pork pies Carrust.
