Petition Action

Stop Black Friday coming to Britain

Additional Information

American businesses are introducing Black Friday sales in the UK. UK retailers feel pressured to compete. In America Black Friday encourages a frenzy of greed opposite to the spirit of Christmas. It causes riots; employees and the public get injured, public property is damaged and the police are called off important duties to keep order.
We already have post-Christmas sales.
For the sake of public order we call for a a UK ban on Black Friday and other short-term sales in December.
