UK Britishness Public Holiday Back To The Fore

Sources: Christian Science Monitor, Bloomberg and UK public holidays. The new UK Prime Minster, Gordon Brown, is quoted as favoring a new public holiday – a "British day" – to promote a sense of British identity as a way to unite increasingly disparate social and religious groups. Although the above-quoted news article do not mention any possible date for this new UK public holiday, previous articles did mention the month of June as likely.
