Re: National Rememberance Holiday
Long overdue.
Many people will forget the reason but that is not sufficient reason not to have a National Remembrance Holiday in honour of those who had their lives taken from them in protecting the nation. After all Good Friday is a bank holiday.

Will have to investigate Employment Law a little more. To be honest, not good at this. Always, being salaried, not sure that if you are paid by the hour, would a Public Holiday be given with full pay ? |

Re: National Rememberance Holiday
You are quite right, JB, the holiday was Whit Monday. I should have said Whitsuntide.

Re: National Rememberance Holiday
This so-called GREAT country cannot decide whether it can or cannot afford to issue medals for those that it has sent out to die in Afganistan, Iraq and Iran!!
To offer us an extra day off "in remembrance" of those that gave their lives is crap. There is an election coming up - and this is the carrot...........SICK!!!

Re: National Rememberance Holiday
Never mind not affording medals what about not letting them take part in the Remembrance Day at the Cenotaph?

Maybe it was looking through the bottom of the glasses that confused you?

Re: National Rememberance Holiday
I agree with busman, this is just another opportunity for Brown and co to bribe the gullible into voting for them. Brown would earn more respect by commiting the government to taking better care of our soldiers and veterans while they are still alive.
