[Football] Will Starmer call a bank holiday if England win the Euros?

[jonny.rainbow]

That was his opinion when the women won Euro 2022 anyway.

Hope so otherwise I wasted my vote!

He’ll do anything to stay popular

 

[golddene]

Course he will, we’ve never won anything under a Tory Government, 1966, Harold Wilson, 2024 Sir Kier Starmer, sounds great doesn’t it ?

That was women though - we expect our men to win the Euros!

I’ve already booked my extra Bank Holiday mini break for when Arsenal win the Champions League this season

 

[Sorrel]

What's I'd like is all the bank holidays moved to Fridays. Monday is a crap day to have off - it just launches you straight into Tuesday morning. Much better to start the weekend on Thursday evening.

 

[KZNSeagull]

No. Most of the low paid workers and NHS staff etc will still have to work anyway. I thought pandering to the rich had just been voted out?

 

[GT49er]

It's easy to call for jam today when you're the opposition. Now he's PM I hope he's got a lot more sense than to do it.

 

[Peacehaven Wild Kids]

to call one or to even suggest calling one at this short notice is, in a nutshell, halfwitted.

Sorry

But then we would be miserable on the Sunday thinking about going back to work on what used to be a lovely bank holiday Monday.

What about having it on a Wednesday? Everyone knows nobody does any work the day before or after a holiday, or on a Monday or Friday, so effectively this would give us a whole week off!

In honour of the OP we could call the holiday "England victory and Freedom for Gaza NOW" day.

Starmer OUT!

Sorry

A whole half? You're generous.

 

[Jeremiah]

Yes he will but only for junior doctors.

 

[hart's shirt]

I'd be ok with a bank holiday for everyone except banks.

On that day, they'd be forced to reopen high street branches that they'd previously closed down for 'cost saving' reasons.

 

[Weststander]

No.
Wales and Scotland would whing about bias.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I don’t know about you, but after the past few days I feel I actually need a day hard at work and not more time off.

 

[sparkie]

We'll be knocked out by the Netherlands anyway so the question is somewhat moot.

Sorry

Talking of half-witted, where's @Is it PotG? got to with his hilarious 'Sir Kneel' quips

 

[Flounce]

Not a likely scenario is it?

 

[Goldstone1976]

I've told the staff at the place I run in Cambridge that nearly all of them can have the Monday after off if England win the Euros. I excluded the two Scots. This policy has gone down extremely well with nearly all the staff, even the three Welsh.

 

[Coldeanseagull]

Starmer can f*** off
This is another politically motivated thread to ignore, absolutely nothing to do with football really, is it?
