So plans are being suggested to make St George's Day a bank holiday to create a 'National Day'. Great idea! As long as they do the same for the dates of St David, Andrew and Patrick then?
What an awesome way to create anti-English feeling

Seriously Russ - you have to read past the first paragraph.

The government's policy paper includes proposals to move the May Day holiday to St George's Day on 23 April in England and St David's Day on 1 March in Wales - to create a "national day".

The English bias here is with the BBC hack that wrote the article, not the guvmint.
Incidentally, the SNP has been trying to get St Andrew's Day instituted as a bank holiday in Scotland, but without much success.
