Stores opening on a Sunday is still a new thing!
And only between 10am - 4pm
The Church sit in the House of Lords with their Bishops so hold some sway over legislation
Once upon a time in this country, we even had riots over playing Baseball on Sunday.
Then came the NFL.
Your wider point is a good one as well too much scandal or bad news emanating from the UK.
It’s all you ever hear
Judge probably felt h8s standard news job ruined more children and adults, as the media has done, frankly.
2 Tier Justice System in England.
Typical media dweeb.
Update...
The Beeb knew about Edwards in 2012.
