Give the UK a Bank Holiday on Monday August 1st if Lionesses win Euro 2022
The Lionesses are in the final of a European Championship on Sunday 31st August. Their achievement is extraordinary and they've inspired a generation of girls into our national sport.
A national holiday would demonstrate to the world our country's commitment to championing women's sport, cementing our status as the home of football, and eradicating inequalities in wider society.
Why would such an achievement not be celebrated on the same level as was the case for the men's final last year?
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:
We understand that you wanted yesterday to be a bank holiday, but it is not too late for the Government to make Monday 1 August a bank holiday.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government to create a new bank holiday to mark England's victory at the Women's Euro 2022.
