Make St. George's Day a Public (Bank) Holiday
We petition the Government to make the 23rd April a public holiday in England in homage to England's patron saint St. George.
Both of the dates which St. Andrew's and St. Patrick's day fall on are marked and celebrated in their region of the UK with a public holiday and the English are entitled to the same.
We also petition that any plans or proposals to combine St. George's day and May Day are abandoned, as May Day is an ancient traditional holiday which is also part of our heritage and culture.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.
You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.
