This is something for the trade unions to pick up on, if employees choose to take 4th May. If employers allow an addiitoanl bank holiday,then no problem. Anyway, surely we should be commemorating the 71st anniversary of the D-day landings (without Trump using it as an opportunity to drag the event into the gutter like he did this year by scoring political points using war graves as a back drop). If the heads of state can't be bothered, then we will all be able to see what their attitude towards people who laid down their lives really is.
