Rejected petition Make 23rd July a bank holiday for celebration of UK's Independence from Europe.

On 23rd July 2016, Britain voted historically to leave the European Union. We should have a bank holiday on the day, every year, to celebrate the effort of the people who campaigned for this, the Greatness of Britain and what being British is about.
