#EdBallsDay has become so commercialised. So many of us have forgotten its true meaning, or perhaps never knew.

Totally right to call out the @NationalTrust on its failure to mark #edballsday, but what a response from them pic.twitter.com/0OfIdnefx5

Just heard someone ask, "Why is #EdBallsDay a thing?". So sad that people are forgetting the true meaning behind our festivals.

Not sure why #EdBallsDay wasn't on @UKLabour's list of proposed new bank holidays.

Spare a thought for the people who are spending today alone, and the brave emergency services staff who have to work on #EdBallsDay

Just been woken by my 7yo shouting, "He's been! Ed Balls has been!" Happy #EdBallsDay, everyone.

The irony of people complaining that rampant commercialism has ruined #EdBallsDay when it's actually a Roman pagan festival originally 🙄
