Ok hear me out, for people working in 9-5 jobs or industry’s that regularly have weekends off, bank holidays are a great thing. For everyone working in service industries though, it really isn’t. It’s yet another day we pay for childcare that can’t be used (but we have to pay as that’s in the contract), it’s another day of work while everyone else is having a wonderful time. It’s another day where we have to suck it up and deal with people being extra drunk/rude/obnoxious because… bank holiday. I’d really rather he sorted out the tax/universalcredit/benefits system/nhs/midwife crisis/underfunding of schools and social care or just about anything else rather than try to grab some popularity points to cover his rich tax avoiding backside.
AIBU?

Very Badly timed in the middle of exams - GCSE and A levels.
noisy street parties and 3 days of drinking music and dancing at pub closest to us, should make revision challenging...
Actual anniversary of coronation was months ago so the government could easily have scheduled the mass national party after the exams...
