Just while most the country is celebrating St Patrick’s Day, KDS will be asking why we don’t do more to celebrate the national holiday of our own national patron.

The prop. will be arguing for a national holiday for St Georges Day, a fairly simple week to have a go at first speaker. They will want to outline the problems currently, perhaps the shame attached to English nationalism, perhaps the way fascist organisations have hijacked the flag of St George. Then they will want to demonstrate why making this change is necessary and why it will improve the current situation. They may even want to talk about the benefits giving us all another day off would have!

The opposition, however, will probably want to focus on these aforementioned issues as reasons not to celebrate St Georges Day. Is he really a Saint of Englishness after all?

As always start with debatabase.
