St George’s Day: Schools should ‘revive national pride’ on St George’s Day in direct challenge to ‘anti-patriotic elites’, urges academic
Bhogal has previously argued that national flags should be flown at every institution as a symbol of unity |
"When my grandfather made England his home all the way back in 1959, this great nation didn't ask him where he came from, only where he was going.
"With his affinity for England – something which resonates amongst millions of British Indians celebrating St George fills me and millions like me with great pride and gratitude."
Discussing the importance of the St George's Cross, Mr Bhogal suggested we should be more like America and India in fly their national flags "unapologetically to instil national unity and a proud sense of belonging".
He said: "The flag of St George ought to be flown with pride all year round and that is why it was a sight for sore eyes to see the Raise the Colours campaign unfurl last Summer.
"For the last three decades of the Blairite orthodoxy our national identity has been eroded under the caustic tap of multiculturalism and the toxic identity politics which has been peddled left, right and centre.
"It's quite simple, we have an unparalleled history of achievements and glorious traditions which make England truly unique.
"It is a time for a revival of national pride and far greater learning of the very profound nature of how England and Britain have been a great force for good."
