I and others suspect in this case it is 'anything but St.George'... and that flag of course. Cynicism breeds more and this government is full of it.

Robert J Williamson of the British Shakespeare Company is the person who has called for there to be a day to recognise the life and work of William Shakespeare. See: www.shakespeareday.com John Reid is one of a number of cabinet ministers who is backing the call. The fact he is a Scotsman is irrelevant. Tessa Jowell, minister for culture, also backs the day (not Patricia Hewitt). Having a day for our greatest literary genius is better than celebrating a mythogical dragon slaying.
