And you really think one day off extra going to wave our economy and jobs. Maybe ending this Lockdown and allowing the summer months that people need sadly most of us looking at working to try and survive, holidays are cancelled due to this government and its sheep

If it boosts economy by £500m why not have 30 extra bank holidays that would be £15B. (Note for trolls, I’m be satirical)

Is this a long term boost or a short term boost? People only have so much disposable income therefore are they spending additional money or simply money their would have spent elsewhere in the economy?

After people not working for over two months, what a daft idea.

IT WILL RAIN .... AND BE A WASH OUT !!

On the assumption, people will still have employment & disposible income to splash out? Come the autumn the first signs of winter will be in view on the beckoning horizon. Folk might well wonder how they'll even afford festive meals & gifts for their children. Hard times ahead.

Now would be a really good time for Boris to announce this 🤭🤭🤭

Clare Bridge is always thronged with punts in October - the best time to give it a go !

I remember doing this on the river Wear in Durham when I was a young man,never saw Cummings though!.

When Corbyn wanted more bank holidays it was a communist pipe dream?

Leftist logic: if you work less you produce more

Why don’t we have one every month!

Oh look - a dead cat.

Why do those cunts need a holiday? Just make it a public holiday!
