Yesterday Google marked "Earth Day". Never heard of it? Neither have I.
Last year, Google marked St David's Day. St Patrick's Day and St Andrew's Day. So far this year Google has marked St Patrick's Day...
... and St David's Day (the logo was marked "St David's Day" and apparently the daff is Wales' national flower). St Andrew's Day is yet to arrive.
But what of St George? Well, here is the St George's Day logo.Totally devoid of any embellishment - the usual Google logo.-
So today is nothing to celebrate according to Google.
-
And England, of all the nations of the UK, has been singled out for Google's spiteful, priggish attitude. This is discrimination, pure and simple.
-
Why is England treated this way? It isn't perfect, but then neither are Wales, Scotland and Ireland. So why does Google see fit to ignore us? Are we somehow unclean? The great unwashed? Ask them -
-
Select "Other" and then "None of the above".
-
Google don't exactly make it easy to contact them! We must make sure the message gets through!
-
And happy St George's Day anyway.
-
Don't let the bastards grind you down!

Google, like most politically correct organisations, sees fit to dictate what is or what is not acceptable.
-
England, a country discriminated against by the UK Government (you can die in England for want of medication available on the NHS in Scotland and prescriptions are free in Wales, but have just risen in price in England) is not to be allowed to celebrate itself or even to recognise its own existence.
-
Yes, other UK MPs can dictate policy in England. Yes, England can be scapegoated for all the perceived ills of the past (where as, in fact, many "crimes" should be placed at the Scots or Welsh peoples' doors - Ireland was partitioned by a Welsh PM, with a Cabinet stuffed FULL of Scots; the Scots were disproportionately involved in the old British Empire).
-
But England must be blamed for everything. And kept down. Its people denied equality. Apparently a "mongrel" nation. Most, if not, all nationalities are "mongrel" and the efforts of various PC groups to disect Englishness and then declare it non-existent because of a lack of racial purity smack of fascism. Politically correct non-fascist fascists are everywhere.
-
This is the face of Political Correctness in 21st Century Britain. A priggish, uncaring dictatorship, dedicated to distorting the truth, encouraging racist elitism in Scotland and Wales, and standing by as people in England die for want of care. Our government continues to pour outrageous subsidies into Scotland and Wales via the Barnett Formula. And before anybody mentions "Scotland's oil", remember that the maritime boundary was altered in favour of Scotland by the UK Government, with NO consultation with the electorate in England.
-
Here's to England's day. We'll win through in the end.

Google could have had a picture of a rose, England's national flower, if they'd wanted to avoid St George for some pathetic reason. I'm not using Google in future.
