Make St Georges Day a Public Holiday in England

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

England is part of the United Kingdom but does not have a Public Holiday for it's Patron Saint whilst the other 3 countries do. I contest that this is a discriminatory act against the English citizens of the United Kingdom contravening the Law of the land.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Make St. George's Day a national holiday, countries celebrate their Saint's Day
