Happy St George's day

[roverandout]

As above.  Why don't we celebrate this day in England like other countries celebrate theirs?

Two reasons, one, not a bank holiday and two, since the act of union, ‘Englishness’ has often been conflated with ‘Britishness’.

Probably less so since devolution, but it is why national ‘days’ in England have more revolved around sporting and royal events over a saint/national day.
