VERY little is known about the historical St George.
We do know he was an Arab born near Jerusalem. He was arrested, tortured and executed.
A modern day St George who managed to escape his tormentors and sought asylum in England would be abused and turned away by baying racists waving flags of St George. It's a funny old world.
