Halibut Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 They get people who try to steal stuff in a headlock and drag them inside, they're not the SIS. Did you think they were? Do you think LPO's are sworn to secrecy on joining? Are you that stupid? Where do these clowns get their training? Headlocks are dangerous and unprofessional.

pottedplant Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Why would she have no money to feed herself and her child given that we have a social security system. Where did her benefits money go? On fuel, bedding and clothing to keep warm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodmally Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Cupboards are bare, and your family is hungry, blubble, blobble, creek, creek, gulp go their stomachs. What are you to do? You have to eat. Time to go out on the rob for some baked beans on toast. Thieving is wrong, but your family is hungry, it is a no brainer. You have to do, what you got to do. It would be far more immoral to let your family starve, so you must steal. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-20761726 In 2012, landless peasants who have no control over their own lives, or even their own wages in the market, are struggling to get by, they canny grow their own food, they have no land, there are a few allotments dotted about, but fat chance of them getting one - and what is the point if you lack security of tenure anyway and are continually moving from place to place... People are effectively being forced to become thieves to put food on the table. Harsh times for many eh. The rich are still getting richer though. The simpler solution would be for those that are on benefits to stop buying booze and spend money on food instead. Then they would have enough money to feed their children rather than smoking and drinking away their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Hopefully after stealing to survive this week, next week you won't blow your child benefit and JSA on something other than food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Or is it getting to a stage when we need more intervention to tell people how to spend? I've already seen instances of houses where people don't have a cooker, just a microwave for ready meals or to re-heat takeaways. How can people on benefits afford a takeaway every night? Or these people who go out in their PJs or onesies? Common sense and common decency seems to be a dying art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatly it wont become law but I think it should. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2250362/Tory-MP-calls-law-change-prohibit-state-welfare-spent-non-essentials.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolster Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Why shouldn't people on benefits have enough money to smoke and drink? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 because they're on benefits, and we all pay for it??? I'm more than happy to fund them though hardship, with sufficient food to eat, money for the bills and clothes to wear. but going out and getting ******, or smoking like a chimney aren't good uses of this money.
