Rejected petition Make the 23rd of June a public holiday to remember & celebrate our independence

Following on from the historic vote by the British people to leave the European Union on the 23rd of June 2016 we believe it would be proper to mark the day in future with a public holiday to allow people to remember & celebrate this momentous day as a victory for democracy and freedom.
