After Covid 19, I'm suggesting a new Holiday called 'British Independence Day'
I would like on behalf of the British people, here in our country and around the world, for you to bring in a new holiday when this Covid 19 lockdown and whole situation is over. I would like this new Bank Holiday to be called 'British Independence Day'
Because we have just lost a Bank Holiday for Easter, which, in the Bank Holidays calendar, is probably one of the most important weekends of the year. As a travel journalist and author of the popular series of Top 100 Attractions travel guides, I know more than anyone, how important this new Bank Holiday would be for not only the British people, but for all of the businesses that heavily rely on tourism. If this were to be announced, This would give a huge boost to the British people!
