Petition We oppose the poposal via the online petition requesting a day off for Hindu festival Diwali and Muslim celebration Eid.

More details

Rather than being seen as negative or none inclusive I merely propose that any additional bank or public holidays within Great Britain should represent the needs wishes and desires of the majority of the citizens in the country.

Rather than including additional days off according to religion if any such public holidays are to be granted to the British people that they and they alone be allowed to vote on the reasons or grounds for the additional dates.

Thus allowing the majority to have a truly representative say on the matter.
