Create a key worker National Holiday

What the petition asks

With all key workers that are currently keeping this country afloat, we should have a national annual bank holiday to recognise them

without our key workers, we would not be able to fight our current problems with the corona virus, from shop workers to surgical consultants and everyone in between.

they should all be recognised at the same time, not single any particular group out, let’s address all of them.
