Euro Petition.
Boris Johnson is 'actively considering' extra Bank Holiday if England win Euro 2020 after 300,000 fans signed petition - but it would NOT be this Monday as wanted instead later in the year after Freedom Day
Prime Minister Boris Johnson could give the country an extra bank holiday if England win the Euros on Sunday after 300,000 Three Lions fans signed a petition calling to have the next day off - but it would not be this Monday because it would be 'tempting fate'. Mr Johnson is actively considering holding a national day of celebration if Gareth Southgate's team beat Italy to secure a first major championship triumph since the 1966 World Cup. However, he dismissed the idea of making Monday a snap bank holiday holiday. There are also fears that an England win would spark celebrations that cause a 'Hangover Monday' meaning many workers take the day off anyway. It's understood that Mr Johnson will 'consider the options' for marking a historic win, and that could include a bank holiday. However, Downing Street sources played down the idea of turning any celebration into a 'Freedom Day' holiday on July 19, when Covid restrictions end, saying it would be too soon to put arrangements in place.
