A government minister has admitted that the government spent a mere 230 pounds promoting St George's Day over the last five years.

How do we "take it back" though, when we never did much with it in the first place?

I can't remember St George's day in the '70s pre-footie and pre-lager - it just didn't happen in my experience, and that's for someone from a fairly jingoistic school.

I think she meant take back the meaning of the flag, rather than St G's day itself.

The flag was a symbol of the far right for so long. My personal theory is that Euro '96 made the St G's flag more acceptable!!

Yes I mean the flag rather that St G's day.
