Happy Saint Andrew's Day

Like Saint George's Day, Saint David's Day and Saint Patrick's Day, this should be a public holiday throughout the United Kingdom. Away with pointless celebrations of the mere fact that the banks are on holiday.

Yes, that was a Labour manifesto commitment in 2017 and in 2019. I am very glad that it was. But I had been saying it for more than 20 years. Admittedly, that was also true of several other things that were in the Labour manifestos of 2017 and 2019.

God Save The King? Well, will he save the rest of us? But justice for the name of Alex Salmond. We really can do that.

    1. Like that "Union Jack" on the flags of Australia and New Zealand, or the several Arab flags that look much the same, or the resemblance between the flags of Cuba and the United States, or the fact that Saint George is the Patron Saint of all three of Egypt, Palestine and Lebanon, it is one of those startling coincidences which nobody can begin to explain.
