Rejected petition St.Georges day to be a national bank holiday

St Patrick's Day is firmly established in the English social calendar while St George's Day is frequently forgotten.

More details

So what would encourage more English people to celebrate St George's Day?
I think that the government and media should recognise that St.George day should be made more aware of, as I believe that more focus is on others saints, is this not discrimination?
