Patron saints are a catholic phenomena and as England hasn't been a Catholic country since the 16th century then nobody should be surprised that it is sparsely celebrated even before considering whether George was a good candidate for the honour. Personally I celebrate being English every day. I consider myself to be very fortunate indeed to have been born on this island and to continue to enjoy all the benefits it has to offer. A national day where we celebrate being English is something I am all for but following a catholic tradition with a figurehead who has no connection to England is ridiculous and being chastised for not celebrating it even more so.
