Rejected petition Declare St George's Day (23rd April) as a paid Public Holiday
Rejected on
Today I celebrate St Patrick's Day but get 'fed up' with people saying 'Why doesn't England celebrate St George?' - in truth I do not know the answer?
I'm sorry nothing intellectual or racist but have 1 day to celebrate our achievements?
