    Unfortunately, we didn't go past the Early Learning Centre in Newcastle today, we were too busy buying last minute things for our holiday.

    Hey Black Spiral Dancer here is new story I found about St George's Day

    St. George’s Day parade in Bradford has been effectively banned. The official reason given is to do with “health snd safety” and the ”cost of policing” Community groups had planned to stage the multi-cultural event in Bradford and 1,500 schoolchildren were due to take part. Many of the youngsters had already made flags of St George to carry on the parade on April 23, which was designed to boost community cohesion.

    But last week police and council chiefs told the organisers that the event could not go ahead as planned. At a meeting, police demanded a shorter route which avoided two streets at the centre of the riots in 2001. As a result, organisers have decided to call off the event, which was due to attract more than 10,000 people.

    Bradford City councillor Quasim Khan said: “We were told by the police at the meeting that the original route had not been risk assessed and if we wanted a march to go ahead on that date, St George’s Day, we would have to accept a smaller, different route.The police officers were getting quite animated, saying things like ‘look, this just isn’t going to happen’.” Police and council officials said they did not have sufficient warning of the event.

    However, community leaders planning the parade said the event was blighted because of fears it could stoke up violence. They claimed a police inspector had actually begun the plans for the parade nine months ago.”


    Damn shame, but glory to the Britannia ! Remember Cressy and Agincourt
    Happy St. George day

    I had heard about the Parade being banned. It's all this political Correctness!
    Oooh, we can't do that, we don't want to offend (insert minority group)
    It's bloody stupid! It would be like saying the Americans can't celebrate Independence Day, because it might offend British people living over there!
    I am proud to be English, and part of the Bitish Isles. I am not a European. I am English.
    In Ireland, they get the day off for St Patrick's Day. Why the hell can't we have St George's Day off? Because of all the non-English Immigrants living here that might take offence.
    I say, "Feck off, it's England you're in, we say what holidays we have!"
