Stephen Tomkins, contributing editor of shipoffools.com, writes in support of The Archbishop of York's plea to 'the moderate majority of England' to embrace St George, reclaiming his flag and celebrating his day.

Acknowledging that the most obvious problem with the flag of St George is that it has become 'the flag of skinhead racists and football hooligans' so that there is .'too much baggage tied up in that thing for it to be easy to wave.' he nevertheless argues that
'perhaps that's precisely the point, and the reason why we need to grasp the pole'

'This is the country we've got, and this is the flag we've got, and if we can get better at waving the latter, that's got to be a good thing.
Let the bigots and racists go and get their own one.'
