Mrs May: declare a holiday on Monday 16th July should England win the World Cup

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

Many people will want to celebrate a great achievement in England winning the World Cup for the first time since 1966. Absenteeism will be rife, so why not make it a holiday so we can all celebrate properly?
This country needs a day of national rejoicing!

Why it was rejected

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

If England win the world cup, the Monday should be made a bank holiday for 2018
