Rejected petition Make St Georges Day a Public Holiday in England

England is part of the United Kingdom but does not have a Public Holiday for it's Patron Saint whilst the other 3 countries do. I contest that this is a discriminatory act against the English citizens of the United Kingdom contravening the Law of the land.
