Rejected petition Make St Georges Day a National Holiday within England

More details

We the public believe that as an English Nation we should be entitled to a national holiday on St Georges day.

Every other UK country has a national Holiday on their respective patron saint days.

It is time that the Government realised that their is a difference between Patriotism and Racism. We want to celebrate our day and embrace our own culture for one day of the year.
