Also what English people are celebrating st Patrick’s? Guinness chuck a fuck load of money behind it and give pubs free shit, so the pubs use it as they might as well. Apart from that I don’t really get your point.0

Cause they see themselves as Irish and not British and want to celebrate their heritage and culture.addick1956 said:

I gave no idea why people in this country always celebrate St Paddy's day....none at all. The Irishigmore St. George's day as do a lot of English who decry the red cross flag.Probably because there is a history if immigration and a huge proportion of the UK has some Irish ancestry. Also, its a good excuse for a drink because of the association between Irish people and drink. Oh and about 3% of the UK population lives on the island of Ireland. If you don't want to celebrate it you don't have to.To everyone else lá fhéile Pádraig sona daoibh.
I am not anti Irish but I don't walk round singing Deutschland over alas because a lot of me is German. In fact my grandmother, despite being here since 1900 felt obliged to hide it for some reason.
She adopted Britain so why can't the Irish ?

You do realise part of Ulster is in Eire don’t you?addick1956 said:addick1956 said:
I have been to Ireland many many times on business, both Eire and Ulster. I always got on better with the Catholic parts just because I shared the view of a united Ireland and I toasted St. Patrick a few times, once with John Hurt the actor. I just don't understand why the English celebrate St. Patrick more than St. George in this country and it even gets a more of a mention on the television news .iainment said:

The only reason I celebrate St Patrick's Day is that it's the day Little Miss Fanackapan " kicked " her way into this crazy world.
She was destined to be a football fan, born feet first
