John Lewis Boss Calls For Abusing Shop Workers To Be An Offence


Recommended Posts

This is how shoplifters should be dealt with.

 

No surprise it's created a protest, what a toilet the boroughs of London are becoming.

Can we just remind ourselves :

 

1 - It is already an offence to assault someone and rightly so (but any accused person is presumed innocent until anything is proved, and rightly so).

 

2 - It is already an offence to threaten someone and rightly so (but any accused person is presumed innocent until anything is proved, and rightly so, again).

 

3 - Bat an offence "to abuse someone" ? I mean, really ? Seriously ? And who gets to decide what abuse is ? Typical of this pathetic society we live in when anyone being upset is the ultimate sin. If you have a job dealing with the general public it's not all a bed of roses, you take the rough with the smooth. Man up (again), or go and get another job, how about a computer progammer working from home ? No risk of anyone "abusing you"  there.
