  1. Same people coming to steal every week, if they gone for while they back in couple of months. No punishment -no problem. I’ve seen whole families coming and steeling of the shelves.

  2. “People are being forced to steal as supermarkets continue raging profiteering”

    Fixed that headline for them.

  3. A shit society is reflected in the shit behaviour of its people. The poor are not going to lay down and die when you force them to live on nothing. When there is no Robin Hood to save them, they take matters into their own hands. Society is causing this. People are just experiencing it. Sorry you are having to work 40+ hours and still be poor, that is a you thing. Perhaps you should be stealing more.

  4. How is this real I have never seen a theft in my whole life

  5. People are stealing all the time from our local Sainsbury’s.

    I definitely saw nothing, officer.

  6. Won’t somebody please think of the poor shareholders!

  7. Nah, I’ve never seen anyone shoplift, actually I’m legally blind as it happens.🤷‍♀️

  8. It’s ok. They’ll make the money back by overcharging the rest of the population like they’re already doing.

  9. Yeah this is a symptom though, society is being dismantled from the top and this is a reaction.

    They’ve stolen sooooo much from us, people are feeling it as the country crumbles, they understand the rule is “everyone for themselves! Greed is good!”

    Like yeah there’s shoplifting while the rich destroy our planet and steal our wealth? Why would a collapse be peaceful?

  10. I volunteered 3 days out of the week at a soup kitchen, and 1 day at a food bank, we kept getting polish, and Romanians claiming to have nothing to eat and would break into food bank and steal food and essentials like nappies and baby formula.

    We had to close both the soup kitchen and the building that was used for the food bank
