Take the day off work
on Thursday 23 April 2009!
Celebrate St. George's Day!
England lags far behind the rest of Europe in the number
of bank holidays
we get. A bank holiday on Saint Georges Day would be a great
opportunity
for all the English (regardless of colour or religion) to
recognise what binds
us together - instead of concentrating on our differences.
Everything from cricket to curry could be celebrated on our
national day.
Northern Ireland already has a bank holiday on St. Patrick's
Day, the Scottish Parliament has introduced a voluntary Bank
Holiday on St. Andrew's Day and the Welsh Assembly agree that
St. David's Day should be a holiday.
Help us persuade the government to give England a bank holiday
on St Georges Day. Take the day off work on Thursday 23 April,
2009. If we all take a holiday on the same day it will send
a powerful message to those in charge.
Celebrate St. Georges Day with friends and family.
