Rejected petition I want the UK government to make saint George's a day a public holiday.

This is about pride, about celebrating our saint, saint George. A day to enjoy for all not just Englishman

More details

Saint George is linked as our saint for generations, a long standing tradition often but not occasionally celebrated by government and the mayor. So now it's about time to make it official, a day to be proud and fly the George's cross in reference to England just as Scotland, Wales an Ireland are proud to fly the Daly and celebrate their saint.
