Create a Key Worker Thanks Giving Bank Holiday as a tribute to the heroism shown
Would like Parliament to ask the Queen to formally mark a day on the calendar to celebrate the coming together of all the United Kingdoms key workers during the Covid 19 outbreak.
During the Covid 19 outbreak the NHS and all key workers have put the Great back into Britain by continuing to work on knowing the possible risks to their own health.
Our Key Workers have helped to keep Britain going logistically and medically. Non key workers volunteered to become key workers, retired medical staff came out of retirement and a new dawn was created in Britain shown by millions of people on their doorsteps clapping our heroes every Thursday night at 20:00hrs.
