Rejected petition Scrap 29th February & create a mid-summer '32nd July' bank holiday

For too long have employers had their tricksy way, sneaking in an extra day's work every 4 years for the same annual wage.
I propose that this day is taken back, by force if necessary, & moved to the middle of our annual 9 days of sunshine (aka. Summer) so we can actually do something cool with it.
