Rejected petition Make Boxing Day a proper bank holiday with all supermarket chains closed.

Rejected on 16 December 2020

All supermarkets except the Coop are closing boxing day to give staff time with their families, Despite their ethical stance they are not. Boxing day should (especially this year) be about family.

Change the law that Christmas including boxing day is respected.
