What the petition asks
As the early Bank Holiday or Mayday is known as the workers holiday, this is an important day for parties, festivals and demonstrations, by linking it to the VE day anniversary would not honour that historic day, just erode the spirit of Mayday, make each day separate so we can honour each event.
