April 2008 - Trafalgar Square was full of Proud English People, a horse mounted St George rode around the square and flag bedecked taxis hooted their horns. This is the scene I saw as I crossed the square. However London Assembly ' feed my pigeons' Ken had failed to provide a Festival for this crowd. Too white, too working class by half. My Local pub in Lewisham put on food, Morris dancers and themed drinks all day, a small business celebrating with the community, and its a mixed race pub not a thuggish ghetto. Now that Ken is gone and a BNP member sits in county hall perhaps the political class will reflect on the consequences of ignoring Englands forgotten minority. ( And we are a minority in Lewisham).
Boris - what will St Georges Day 2009 be like?
