What the petition asks
In the daily Telegraph Boxing Day was considered “One of Britain’s most Christmassy days for families”. This is not the case for those who work in retail, long hours, little pay, no travel and more importantly VERY LITTLE FAMILY TIME. It really is unnecessary, sale will still be sale on the 27th.
