Wednesday, August 27, 2008 Question No: 1595 / 2008 Richard Barnbrook Can the Mayor confirm how much funding he will be allocating to next years St Georges Day celebrations in London? Answer from the Mayor: A GLA budget allocation of £100,000, the same as 2008, and subject to approval, is currently projected for St George's Day celebrations in 2009. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1163842/Cripes-Boriss-plan-celebrate-St-George-blazes-PC-brigade-think.html London Mayor Boris Johnson is to defy the politically correct brigade by staging a week-long festival in the capital to celebrate St George’s Day, with the red and white cross of England’s patron saint flying proudly from his City Hall offices. The move follows a series of incidents in recent years in which people have been banned from displaying the English flag on the grounds that it is racist and could offend Muslims because of St George’s association with the Crusades. But Mr Johnson believes such arguments are unjustified and plans a series of events around St George’s Day on April 23 to honour the historical achievements of England and the English.

Answer from the newsgroups: Probably. Try asking someone in London instead. Jon -- SPAM BLOCK IN USE! To reply in email, replace 'deadspam' with 'green-lines'.
