It comes as absolutely no surprise
that Eric Pickles, who has made such a show of defending prayers at
local council meetings, is "open-minded" about retaining in perpetuity
the "relaxation for the duration of the Olympics" of what little Sunday
trading legislation remained in place after the last Conservative
Government.
It is to the everlasting shame of Labour that, having rightly opposed this regression to the days before Nonconformist Radicals freed the working classes from the tyranny of seven-day working weeks, it failed to repeal that regression while in office.
Unworthy of the Christian Socialist pioneers?
Certainly. But also unworthy of Socialist International partners such as the
Sunday-protecting Mayor of Paris, who is exactly as godly as any other
flamboyantly homosexual French left-winger.
Still,
that is the past now. Chuka Umunna, a key Blue Labour ally, is on the
case. Will the Tory papers nevertheless continue to give uncritical
support to the Conservative Party? If so, then how can they expect to be
counted as anything other than election expenditure by that party? And
where would that leave ostentatious anti-Leveson noises about the
freedom of the press?
