Re: Petition to shut shops on Boxing Day
Do christian emergency workers have to work on Sundays or christian holidays? Do christian health workers? Do christian military?
I think you'll find they do. Because they are essential staff in essential roles, as are those that have no religious ideals.
Why should "one day in seven be a day of rest"? What if your day of rest is a Sunday or christian holiday? And that is the only day you can do your shopping, go to a restaurant or pub, or take the kids out for a treat somewhere? Why should the religion of some affect the lifestyles of others?
The simple answer is that it shouldn't. Ever.
