While we at HITC try to stay politically neutral (yeah, right), we support anyone in favour of more days off. Ergo, we bring you a link to a 10 Downing Street petition for a National Remembrance Holiday in early November.
Early November - just when we need one! That stretch from August to Christmas is tough. But let's not be side-tracked by our selfish desires, this one would help emphasise Remembrance Sunday, clearly a worthy cause.
By signing, here's what you support:
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to create a new public holiday, the National Remembrance Holiday to commemorate The Fallen and our Nation, with the holiday falling on the second Monday in November each year, the day after Remembrance Sunday.
So where do you sign up?
RIGHT HERE!
And if you need more convincing, further word from the sponsor:
By comparison to many other European Countries, Britain has fewer public holidays and none at all for a period of some three months between the August public holiday and Christmas. Moreover, Britain does not have a "National" day. So what better way to celebrate our Nation than to have a National Remembrance Holiday falling on the second Monday in November each year to reinforce Remembrance Sunday which falls on the second Sunday in November? Such a holiday will serve to emphasise our commemoration of The Fallen who gave their lives to save Britain and also the on-going importance of the survival of our Nation. The National Remembrance Holiday will further serve to break that period between late summer and Christmas when there is currently no public holiday.
Based on how quickly our signature made it to the middle of the list of the most recent 500 signatures, this is one popular petition.
