Rejected petition Make St. George’s Day a public holiday in England

Rejected on 17 April 2018

I strongly believe it should be a public holiday in the England because it seems unfair that we don’t. For example, Ireland have St. Patrick’s off, same as Scotland have St. Andrew’s Day off, etc. So why shouldn’t we?
