Shops To Stay Open On Boxing Day

Theresa May has refused calls to force all shops to close on Boxing Day, saying it is not the Government’s job to tell businesses how they should run their shows.

MPs will hold a Westminster Hall debate on a petition with more than 140,000 signatures calling for a ban on all retail premises opening the day after Christmas, on the basis that it exploits low paid workers.

Responding to the petition, the Government said:

"We do not believe it is for central Government to tell businesses how to run their shops or how best to serve their customers.

Therefore we are not proposing to ban shops from opening on Boxing Day."

Quite so, Nanny makes more than a mess of things when she does interfere in people's lives!

A Very Merry 1950's Christmas

In view of the desire of some to take Britain back to the "jolly" days of the 1950's, via the petition to ban Boxing Day shopping, here are a few additional "non essential" services that should also be shut:

- Pubs and bars
- Hotels, restaurants, cafes and takeaways
- Theatres and cinemas
- Concerts
- Boxing Day hunts
- Financial advisers 
- TV and radio (or should I say wireless?)
- The internet (non essential parts of it)
- Mobile phone services (landlines work perfectly well for emergencies)
- Taxi/bus services (trains never seem to run then anyway!)
- Flights etc

If you want to shut shops, because they are non essential, then you should also shut the above!

Close All Shops On Boxing Day!

A Change.org petition demanding that all shops be closed on Boxing Day, set up by Ian Lapworth, claims "we managed 30 or 40 years ago" and should "forget making money for one day" and "concentrate on making more memories with the ones we love".

"Whilst not everyone may see Christmas as a religious holiday, it should be respected as such, and retail workers given some decent family time to relax and enjoy the festivities like everyone else."

Whilst I appreciate that some people in the UK wish to live in the 1950's, I have a number of observations wrt this petition:

1 We are not living in the 1950's.

2 Shopping on Boxing Day is not compulsory.

3 Many people (eg doctors, nurses, firemen, TV bods, etc etc) work over the seasonal period.

4 Not everyone is a Christian or, for that matter, believes in god.

5 If you want to spend Christmas with your family and not shop, then good luck to you. However, it's not for you to dictate to others what they can/cannot do over this period.
