Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

I would like for there to be a 2 week national holiday( I understand that this may be to long and am in greateful for any holiday.) This 2 week national celebration would be for beating covid-19 as nation and thanking all the keyworkers that put there lifes on the line to keep the country moving.
To allow and understand the sacrifice the British people have given up (the biggest in pre war history) as this will most likely run through the summer. This national holiday would allow people to celebrate the sacrifice of many people and allow the key works some much need time off to see how thankful the British public are from them risking there life and to remember those who were sadly unable to beat covid-19.
