Petition Make St George’s Day a Bank Holiday for people in England

We believe it is time that England celebrates St George’s Day by having a Bank Holiday as other nations celebrate theirs. We believe England should be proud of St George’s Day.

More details

We feel the Government should review England’s national holidays and that England should not be penalised. We feel that England, as a nation, should be able to celebrate their nation’s day. We feel that England should show more support towards this special day by making it a Bank Holiday so people can get together as a community and celebrate. We believe England should no longer be underprivileged.
