The St. George's Day Parade in West Bromwich is still being frustrated by Sandwell Council even though businessman Chris Kelly, managing director of Keltruck announced on the BBC'S Sunday Morning Politics Show that he was willing to put up the £10,000 the council said they needed for it to go ahead. It now appears that if the parade is given the green light and does go ahead, it will have to be on its usual Sunday morning timetable, for obvious reasons, but guess what? The St. George's Day Party in the Park which has always followed the parade on the Sunday and been the added attraction, attended by all those present, and IS BEING FUNDED BY SANDWELL COUNCIL has been moved by the council to the Saturday.
Mr. Collins for the organisers said we are now having to start from scratch with less than a month to go, and is appealing for entertainers, bands etc. to take part on the Sunday. If you can help you can contact Mr. Collins on 07976 790 255
lt is hoped that Walsall council will re-consider its position on holding their parade if Sandwell give the go ahead for theirs.
It should not be forgotten that the British have allowed Scotland to have a National Holiday on their St. Andrew's Day.
A letter from tonights Express and Star should give reason enough for the British to re-think
their position regarding England and the English, and the local parties should consider deselecting the Racists that have infiltrated this Sandwell council and any other.
It is interesting to note the difference between the West Bromwich St. George's Day parade and the Notting Hill Carnival. Both are run under Labour administrations.
Notting Hill Carnival: 3 murders, more than 400 arrests, 190 offences involving violence, robbery and theft, more than 400 injuries at one event and 94 people hospitalised. Two shootings at one event. Handguns, CS gas canisters and a stun gun confiscated before one event. Public funding £401,390 from the Arts Council. Police costs: £3 million. Another £8.7 million pledged by London Development Agency and the Arts Council to provide a Notting Hill carnival enterprise centre.
Sandwell's St. George's Day Parade: not one reported instance of any disrupted incident. One recognisable member of a rival party photographed walking quietly in the parade. Public funding withdrawn: £10,000. Perhaps Sandwell Council would like to justify its actions.

LATEST -11th March - Council refuses use of the park for any events being arranged by the organisers of the march on the Sunday, and refuse to move their own Party in the Park from the Saturday. Reason given Health and Safety, they will be dismantling their props from the Saturday.

Having been born and growing up in west bromwich as an ethinic minority i think its hilarious that a parde celebrating St George can be hijacked by the BNP. When considering the fact that St George is of Arabic origin. He was actually called Khader and is celebrated all over the world. Including Pakistan, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, India, Ghana and many many more.
