What the petition asks
With the recent referendum in the U.K being voted in favour of 'leave' i think the u.k should celebrate this every year, as our 'independence day'
Whatever way you voted, this should be a time to celebrate being British. A time to celebrate our culture and history. Please sign this petition to make this happen!
