Rejected petition Make 29th March 2019 (Brexit day) a Bank Holiday.

Brexit day has been confirmed as the 29th March 2019. In the UK, we have only 8 public holidays, one of the lowest in the World, India has 18, Finland 15 etc.

I would like Brexit Day to be an official holiday to celebrate our Exit from the EU, and if you voted remain it's an extra day off work.
