Belated thought on the May Bank Holiday

[ffutures]

Is the move to 8th May part of a cunning plan to further divorce this holiday from it being the May Day celebration, which came to have socialist connotations in the 20th century? Are Boris and co. that vindictive? Or not, of course...

I think they are that vindictive, but I'm saying this from across the Atlantic in Canada.

On the whole I think is isn't that big an issue for most people, the heyday of big socialism is long gone, so they probably didn't do it with that in mind. But I could be wrong.

It caused a number of big folk events to be cancelled, as they regularly used the Bank Holiday Monday.

Not surprised - it seems to have caught a lot of people by surprise.
