I find your lack of patriotism... disturbing

So, its St Patrick's day! Queue huge celebrations all over the UK, with green banners being put up, carnivals(maybe?) much merriment and drinking from everyone, not just the Irish!
Now, I have no real problem with this, after all, celebrating others festivals is all nice and fun, helps you understand them, and cultural diversity is a good thing, but what irks me is that every year there is a huge fuss about St Patrick's day, but when the day of our OWN FRIKKING PATRON SAINT rolls by... nothing.. a few England flags put outside some pubs, maybe a few people with face-paint.. and that's it.
And it REALLY irks me, are people ashamed of being English that much they don't want to celebrate our own patron saints day? What do we have to be ashamed off, for gods sake? I mean, I'm no rabid patriot, far from it, but I at least appreciate the country I live in, and appreciate the history of this nation. Its partly the fault of the government, its true, I'm pretty sure the councils in Ireland help arrange the festivals, and over here we seem to be afraid of being English, afraid of forcing our culture on others, Its total and absolute bullshit, if people come to this country they should accept it for what it is, and they should strive to be English, while bringing their own culture and mixing it, not setting up conclaves of their own race and staying apart. If people don't want to experience our culture they should take a hike back to their own frikking country, because with that attitude they don't deserve to stay here.

Anyway, the tl;dr. English people need to be more proud of their own country, not afraid that they might offend someone.
