So who's telling you? Bradford council or it's residents?

If it was the council you have the right to be outraged, if you are being told by the residents then they have no right to tell you that you can't. Even if it means you get beaten up, you are still allowed to celebrate St. Georges day, and if you do get beaten up then those who did it will be arrested for breaking the law.

Well, the pubs weren't allowed to open on the day due to risk of "upsetting certain groups".

So i'm guessing it was the council.

So? I'm an Aston Villa fan, when we play Birmingham City most pubs that attract football fans in Birmingham are closed to decrease the risk of violence, they are not telling us that we can't celebrate a victory.

It's a sensible pre-caution and it's the same deal with this case. No-one has said you can't celebrate. Is one pub closed? Then go to one that's open. You are given every right to celebrate St. Georges, the council have not said that you as an individual can't.
