I voted no because it might offend people who don't have English roots

edit/ edited speeling mistake and I was joking by the way

What on earth do they hope to achieve by this?

'In a survey, 99.99% of people said they'd like an extra day off work'

And your point is?

I may be wrong here but I think people are trying to get a day off work. How dare they try and do such a thing....

Dragons > Saints

I voted no, also it further the Christian concepts of the colours Red and White - which ARE English colour but have a far older tradition than Christianity
