Rejected petition Declare a public holiday on April 8th as Margaret Thatcher has died.

More details

I propose a public holiday is declared to be held each year on the 8th of April in recognition of the fact that it is the day that Margaret Hilda Thatcher, Baroness Thatcher, passed away. I think that most of the British public would agree with me in this date being set as a public holiday for such a memborable occasion.
