Why should everything shut on Sunday just because of other people's beliefs? What if you're not a god warrior? If christians don't want to participate in activities then they don't have to, but they shouldn't insist that everyone else follow their rules.

Here in New York State USA we called this BLUE LAWS, back in 1970 only a few food supermakets could be open on Sunday mornings. Their aisles of medications, paper goods and sundries where locked up. Slowly the Blue Laws eroded. What is left in 2024 is that no alcholic bevages can be sold or served before 12:00 pm noon Sundays.

My Canadian province voted on Sunday opening back in the 1990s. Before that, only small shops and essential services could be open. There were debates, tv shows, endless newspaper stories even tv commercials! Finally after the standard 6 weeks, we voted to allow sunday opening with the caveat that no employee can be forced to work the sabath if it interferes with their faith or worship.

Yeah, now they force shift workers to do Sundays!! Fantastic..

You can see some people at the front - NOT happy whatsoever lol. But the cheers or the happy ones nearly made me tear up, such a jolly exclamation about something so innocent (in my eyes).

Amazing that that was a major concern....fast forward to now.... Wow what a difference

I’m not a sabbatarian, but it does the country good to rest a day.

It would do the country a whole lot more good if they found rest in Christ.

The reason so many people work on a Sunday now is that we no longer produce or make anything here in the Uk. There has been a seismic shift in the job market to more tertiary jobs. The Uk government wanted to allow the creation of jobs and had no choice but to allow working on Sundays.

Then everything began to go downhill to this day.

Brits need to start supporting Christian values before it’s to late! If it’s not to late already! Your be soon forced to follow the other religion! 25 years I reckon! Then Britain will change for hundreds of years like Spain did. Like Iran! Lebanon!

Keep cinemas closed on Sunday and go to church where you can watch the hysterical comedy there!!!

But Sabbath is not Sunday. It has never and will never be Sunday. Sunday is the first day, in all calenders
