Happy St Patricks Day

How many posts until one of our right wing brethren pops along and suggests we should not celebrate this because it’s Irish and we are English?

What do we do to celebrate St. George’s Day, No surrender?

Etc etc
 
The marketing people at Guinness have pulled a blinder with St Patrick’s Day.

Does it mean anything other than big green hats and pints of the black stuff?
 
More of a religious day when i was a kid , a celebration these days ,which isnt a bad thing

I think practically everyone from Teesside (Middlesbrough especially)
Has grandparents, or great grandparent x how many form Ireland.
So I raise a half pint of Guinness to my great great Grandfather who came to Middlesbrough to work in the steel works.

Isn’t it ironic that politicians (mainly Tory) are attempting to make a big deal of immigration when England has a huge history of it.
 
I've sadly got no Irish heritage at all, but I'll still be having a few pints of Guinness today anyway.

It's a nice thing to celebrate the culture of a country, even if it's being commercially driven.
