..keep me English
Keep St George in my Heart I pray
Keep St George in my heart, keep me English
Keep me English 'til my dying day.

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the Countenance Divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark Satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold:
Bring me my arrows of desire:
Bring me my spear: O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire.

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land

Ah, St.George, the most popular Palestinian in England.

Btw, hes a patron saint in a dozen-odd countries and another dozen-odd cities so any personal connection to England is purely mythical, hes just an import from the crusades.

Where do you think the anglo-saxons and danes originally travelled from?

They were the Tribe of Dan - a vicious pirate brigade from Israel, plundering and raping their way throughout Europe and arriving in Britain.

Why do you think the words to 'Jeruslaem' are as they are?

It may be your only chance of seeing quality football if you did that. When Ingurland are in Sedth Effrika getting mugged and raped by the locals, and playing a bit of football, I'll be sure to send you Jocks a postcard.

Cock.

It may be your only chance of seeing boring football if you did that. When Ingurland are in Sedth Effrika getting mugged and raped by our opponents, and fighting a bit with anyone, I'll be sure to send you Jocks a postcard.

Cock.
Hehe someone got wound up. And we could still be there yet so hold out on the postcard.

Actually he was Greek.

Plus he actually killed a dragon, that makes him cool.

And that actually happened, for real, the church would not have lied about that.

But in any case, all venerations of St George and declarations of English pride are regarded as rascist by our champagne socialist nu-labour overlords.

Angle-land was the original name of England... angle-land.. angeland... angland.... england... inguurland

Where did the inhabitants of denmark and saxony come from before settling in Denmark and Germany?

How did the name 'Denmark' come about?

I tried a 'scotch pie' the other day... hoping it was filled with minced lamb or something. Whatever it was filled with, it was tasteless, a bit like semolina.

Still, I ate the fucking lot of it, and had a pasty as well.

Angeln is the actual name of the Angles' homeland. It means Angle-land, which as you point out is also the origin of the name "England", though that was later. "Britain" incidentally is the modern form of the Celtic "Prydain".
Den mark is the place of the danes.
The Anglo-Saxons started moving into Britain in the 5th century, along with the Frisians and Jutes. The Danes came a few centuries later and were from scandinavia. I have no idea where they were from before that, unless you mean they're aryan, in which case probably from somewhere around about the Indian subcontintent so long ago that's it's hardly relevant. In any case they have bugger-all to do with St George, who wasn't "English" in any sense of the word, and so far as I'm aware never set foot in the British Isles.
I don't know when St George lived, but presume it was in the fisrt two or three centuries AD, long before there WAS an England.

Not quite sure what a scotch pie is... if it was like the outer 'covering' of a scotch egg than I can understand how the pie was not so palatable.

The Spanish have claimed St. George as their own too...

Here, on Saint George's day, it's traditional for lovers to exchange gifts; the men give their women a red rose and the women bestow their loved ones with a book. Never seemed quite right to me that the girls get something which lasts a matter of days, while the men receive a token that lasts a life-time.
Still, I suppose it's the thought that counts.

Anyway, whichever country you may or may not think St. George is the patron saint of, as the song says, it's what's in your heart that counts.
And in my heart he will always be English.
