Dissin' St. George
One of the finest saints, legendary or otherwise, is in the PC Police's cross hairs. Link and Link.
His dragon-slaying heroics have kept his legend alive through the centuries.
But the Church of England is considering rejecting England's patron saint St George on the grounds that his image is too warlike and may offend Muslims.
Clergy have started a campaign to replace George with St Alban, a Christian martyr in Roman Britain.
Prosaic buffoons. They probably don't even know about Chesterton's fine poem:
St. George he was for England
And before he slew the dragon,
He drank a pint of ale
Out of an English flagon.
And though he fast mightily
In hair shirt or in mail,
It isn't safe to give him cakes,
Unless you gave him ale.
