A few days after the former Mayor of London escaped from paying a fine for not having a ticket on a train, the new mayor Boris Johnson has announced that St George's Day will be celebrated in London with a week of free events after being "ignored" in the capital for "far too long".
The celebrations will include a concert at Trafalgar Square on Saturday 25th April and will include artists like singer/songwriter Seth Lakeman, violinist Eliza Carthy and folk singer Bishi.
There will also be a free family event at the Globe on April 19th to mark the 400th anniversary of the publication of Shakespeare's sonnets.
I am glad that Boris has decided to celebrate this date in the capital because I (of course) believe that England has an amazing history and culture and being English is something which should be celebrated by everyone who wants to, not hidden away in a dark and dusty corner of the multicultural left.
I will look forward to attending these events in the shadow of the St George flying outside City Hall in April.
