Add 3 more public days for the UK and England
Make Brexit day, 23 June 2016 a UK Public Holiday (except Scotland), UK Independence day, 1 January 2020 (except Scotland) and St Georges day, 23 April (an England public holiday)
The general public especially brexiteers deserve extra days to commemorate British Sovereignty and Independence from the E.U and also a great British Saint like St Patrick and St David.
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:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want the Government to create some new bank holidays, but your petition requests that two specific dates in the past are made bank holidays, and 1 January is already a bank holiday. Additionally, the creation of bank holidays is devolved to Scotland, so the UK Government cannot create new bank holidays for Scotland is any case.
You could start a new petition explaining more clearly what new bank holidays you want the Government to create.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:
