Here's What I Think About... St George and The Flag of Irony

In this episode, I take a close look at St George and the Flag of Irony, and how it exposes a big contradiction at the heart of flag-waving nationalism. I challenge the idea of who gets to call themselves a patriot, and I remind us that England’s culture, language, and even its flag are the result of centuries of migration. I attempt to make the case that, far from being a threat to national identity, diversity has always been one of its greatest strengths.Send us Fan MailIf you enjoy this episode, please don’t forget to subscribe. Disclaimer: As a serving Headteacher in London, UK, it’s important to please note that the views shared on this podcast- whether from me, my guests, or any associated with Educationally Outraged- are independent and do not reflect the official stance of my school, my Local Authority or the Department for Education.
