No day off if only one of the parties had making St George's Day a bank holiday in their manifesto, it would be a huge vote winner, it's the little things that win elections.

My Facebook feed is full of pictures of Nigel Farage with a pint and an English flag in his hands and people saying he pledges to make it a national holiday so I guess UKIP already cottoned on

People bringing their kids to the Parades or even kids being in the Parades with their schools or things they're joined is a big thing here (besides those who just go and get pissed)
