Rejected petition Make St George's Day (23rd April) a public holiday in the UK

St. George’s Day (23rd April), St, David’s Day (1st March), St Patrick’s Day (17th March) and St. Andrew’s Day (30th November) should all be UK-wide public holidays. With only eight public holidays, the UK currently has the fewest of any G20 or EU country.
