GB News reporters asked Londoners on the May bank holiday whether they intended to conceive children that day. The network cited Office for National Statistics data showing that in 2024 most babies born on a single day were conceived nine months after the second May bank holiday.
One young woman said she was single and working. A man with a moustache replied that he would try if his boss allowed it. Another person stated they wished they could participate but might wait until the next bank holiday. A fourth respondent said they planned to watch football instead.
The interviews were conducted outdoors in sunny weather.
GB News broadcast the responses on its website and social channels. No aggregate survey data accompanied the street interviews.
