Rejected petition: Make St George’s Day a bank holiday in England
Rejected on
I would like the government to make April 23rd which is St George’s Day a bank holiday in England.
I would like the government to promote English patriotism by making St George’s day a bank holiday in England. England is one of the only places in the world without a national holiday and it’s a shame the Northern Ireland get the 12 and st Patrick’s off and us English get nothing
