IT IS ST. GEORGE’S DAY IN ENGLAND, APRIL 2008. Does anyone care?

Well folks, here it is St. George’s Day, April 2008 and it doesn’t look as tho many care. Shame really.
There was to have been a St. George’s parade, but it was cancelled do to fear for children, as the parade was to have passed thru an inner city area where race riots took place SEVEN YEARS AGO!  Anyway, the police issued a warning that kids could be at risk.  There are worries over, HEALTH and SAFETY.

Not being a Brit I really don’t understand what St. George and the famous slaying of the Dragon has to do with race or why anyone should be out of sorts if a parade went thru any part of an ENGLISH city.  Ah ... pardon me but, there still are English cities here are they not?  I know they are here because I have heard many rumors to that effect.

A PROTEST OF POLITICAL AND MORAL IMPORT ON BEHALF OF THE MUCH MALIGNED DRAGON WHOSE RIGHTS HAVE BEEN OVERLOOKED!

‘St’ George and the over-reaction

By Oliver Pritchett

Today, thousands of people the length and breadth of England will be celebrating Dragon Awareness Day.

This is to draw attention to the blatant slaying of a member of the dragon community by St George, several centuries ago, and to call for a more positive attitude to these mythical monsters.

We also want to highlight our demands for 1) A full apology from the Prime Minister and the Queen; 2) Back-dated compensation for all those affected by the event; 3) Legislation to outlaw the demonising of dragons; 4) A Channel 4 documentary outlining the war crimes committed by St George, possibly leading to a trial, or at least a full public inquiry.

The media have been ignoring our campaign for years, which is very convenient for the powers-that-be, but our demonstrations today will force them to pay attention and put right the years of injustice.

I am personally deeply affected by the actions of St George outside the cave on that day of shame when an innocent dragon was impaled by his lance.

I am, in fact, a direct descendant of the maiden the so-called saint was supposed to be rescuing.

This action has meant many hundreds of years of hurt for my family. We have always had to live with the knowledge that our ancestor was traumatised when the dragon she had befriended was slain before her very eyes in what was, in truth, an unprovoked act of aggression.

In our family, we have had to endure the shame of people thinking our ancestor was a victim of the dragon when she was actually reaching out the hand of friendship.

She saw it not as a monster but as a gentle giant. Far from being a victim she was, by all accounts, an independent young woman on the brink of a promising career in human-mythical beast relations.

Even now I get dizzy spells when I see depictions of that slaying and I have to take medication for my nerves. That is why I am taking legal action (on a no-win, no-fee basis) for compensation from the Government.

I’m not doing it for myself, but for my grandmother and all the great great grandmothers before her. (It is significant that members of our family have always had a soft spot for reptiles; I myself had a terrapin for many years.)

In our celebrations of Dragon Awareness Day we are pointing out that it was not even a fair fight. Close examination of most of the pictorial evidence shows that St George cynically used his horse to trample the dragon then sneakily plunged his lance into its exposed underside.

It was George who snatched all the glory and the sainthood, while the poor horse was almost certainly as traumatised as my maiden ancestor. No doubt she did her best to comfort it before George galloped off again.

It is a disgrace that the un-named horse had no choice and was forced to take part in this unjustified attack and we believe it would now be appropriate if Her Majesty, as a horse-lover, could give this poor animal some posthumous recognition and the Government could make a sizeable donation to an equine charity.

We are also demanding that the cave where the atrocity occurred should be named a national monument and visitor centre to remind people that it must never happen again.

As part of today’s demonstrations, members of Friends of the Dragon will be chaining themselves to the Reptile House in London Zoo and will be picketing selected Chinese restaurants as a protest against the demeaning of dragons in oriental festivals and celebrations.

We will be joined in a candlelit vigil by leading members of the League of Misunderstood Fire-Eaters and by the honorary secretary of the Chameleon Owners Club of Great Britain.

Ever since St George callously attacked that defenceless beast we descendants of the maiden have never been given the chance to come to terms with that terrible event. As we demand compensation we are making it clear that our suffering is not a myth.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
  1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
  2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
  3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
  4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

Oh, and here's some kind of visitor flag counter thingy. Hey, all the cool blogs have one, so I should too. The Visitors Online thingy up at the top doesn't count anything, but it looks neat. It had better, since I paid actual money for it.
