Rejected petition Make the Monday following Remembrance Sunday A national bank holiday

I ask government to consider making the Monday following Remembrance Sunday a bank holiday
Additionally to this I implore government to consider altering trading hours to make opening any shop regardless of size illegal
So everyone can celebrate without fear of being called in to work it

More details

During both world wars the people of the United Kingdom and its commonwealth citizens gave up so much for our future
It is only right that we as a United Kingdom can be allowed to celebrate the sacrifices people made during both world wars
