St George - or St Edmund?

Who should be the patron saint of England? Should it be the Palestinian of Middle Eastern descent or the ethnic European St Edmund?

St Edmund was the original patron saint of England and the town of Bury St Edmunds was named in his honour.

St George was believed to be Palestinian born (which almost certainly would mean he was not black, as some anti-British, politically-correct individuals now like to presume) and was a Roman soldier who was killed for his Christian beliefs. Surely the fact that he wasn't English should mean that he should be replaced as patron saint by the man who originally held that title.

Politically correct lunacy is alive and well in Manchester with St George being depicted as a black youth in the celebrations this year. How removing the image of a white man and replacing it with a black will "fight racism" is anyone's guess, it can only promote the turning of whites into second class citizens in their own country.
