I’m unsure as to why this is surprising? When the cost of living increases and people struggle just to survive, they turn to crime. Governments need to stop obsessing over maintaining the short-term status quo and focus on long-term investment that will ensure things like this are a lot harder in the future.
It’s a victimless crime
Remember, if you see someone shop lifting food or medicine, no, you didn’t.
People walking out with the entire meat shelf in bags are stealing food, and preventing others from having it. They definitely need to be stopped if possible.
It is not as simple as you say
Ah yes, those who produce food and medicine should not be paid, of course.
Double the minimum wage and cut housing costs in half.
But the poor companies will suffer reduced profits and will leave the UK 😢😢
Not surprised at all when bike theft seems pretty much decriminalised
I saw a security tag on dog food at the supermarket.
