charmer Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 'Cos they couldn't pick up the stuff to nick it. It isn't relevant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 It isn't relevant. So, you're saying the thieves would pick up items with their mouths then do a runner? Yeah, could happen, I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossyrooney Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 Or have a hook fitted? ... that would damage the goods though and they wouldn't be able to sell them to their fences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliceBB Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 The day we adopt the barbaric customs and punishments of countries where extreme forms of Sharia law pertain, will be the day we lose our identity and our decency. It's not even worth joking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 How many times have we seen headlines outlining court cases where the defendant has stolen food to feed themselves or their kids? Very few. How many of them actually steal easily portable, sellable, meats, cheeses, aerosols etc that can be easily and quickly sold off in the pub in order to feed their habit. I don't know, but I bet it is more to feed a habit than their kids. Of course you don't see it in the papers. It doesn't fit the government ideology and villify the poor enough. Much better to feed the beast with tales of degenerate poor people who are only poor because they are lazy, won't work, take drugs, and are generally feckless. That sells newspapers.

woodmally Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 No, but I see it on a daily basis! You do see it on a daily basis. The reason you dont people stealing for food because its not happening. Do you think if people were stealing for food there would be a media outcry. Of course they would a first world country not feeding its populace. The reality is it is people stealing for a drug habbit. I see it with my own eyes I dont need papers to tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna B Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I'd love to know what evidence you have to support this. We are not feeding all our population properly which is why we need foodbanks. Some may not know how to go about them, or find themselves in a one off situation, and resort to stealing. It happens, but of course you know better... Not everybody on hard times is on drugs. Your prejudice is showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denlin Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Talking of not judging on appearances I saw a guy on the Judge Rinder programme who was the most tattooed man in England and immediately thought what a pillock. I WAS WRONG. He was a lovely guy who his so called friend had sponged off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
