Most basic reason: I should like more bank holidays, and this is a culturally salient excuse for one. Slightly more principled reason: it is good to make clear (and inculcate in people) that there are things more valuable than increased productivity for capitalists.

A lost battle I know, but surely St Cuthbert would be a better choice for patron saint of England.

A short bit of wiki scholarship later and I am super convinced of this.

Oh well, we’ll be getting an independence day soon, so there’s that to look forward to.

It should be a bank holiday because it's (probably) Shakespeare's birthday. Or are you against bank holidays for people on basic
#noheroes grounds? -
It’s pretty hard to get me to be opposed to back holidays!
