Rejected petition Declare the anniversary of Margaret Thatcher's death a public holiday and recognise her as England's patron saint.

More details

In commemoration of the deeds and magnificent public service rendered by the late Margaret Thatcher to the United Kingdom, the first female and greatest Prime Minister in our history. The undersigned believe that the best honour that can be bestowed upon her is to adopt a public holiday in her memory. We ask the government to declare the anniversary of her death, Margaret Thatcher day in England and recognise her forthwith as the patron saint of England.
