An English Demcorats "Freedom of Information" question, has revealled that Ken Livingstone has lied to give the impression that expenditure on St Georges Day Events is equal to expenditure on St Patricks Day.

(Initially his officies first response gave no breakdown of expenditure)

The wezzel has included events such as Shakespeare's Birthday, as it if is a St George's Day Event.

Naturally our greatest playright should be celebrated, but this is coincidence that it is on the same day as St Georges Day.
