Poll: Should the August Bank Holiday be renamed Margaret Thatcher Day?

Conservative backbenchers have proposed a bill to rename the annual Bank Holiday Monday in late August as Margaret Thatcher Day.

Published Jul 21, 2013

The proposal came in a raft of parliamentary bills tabled by a group of Conservative backbenchers in their "Alternative Queen's Speech" and will debated in the House of Commons later this year.

But what do you think of the idea?
