BBC News Text: [In its lead, the Daily Mirror reports on an "epidemic of shoplifting", the paper says it is demanding "tougher laws". It goes on to quote shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper, who says: "This kind of lawlessness is a disgrace."] |

Pay people fairly, then. That would be a start.

On principle I agree but it depends on what sort of things are being stolen. The article says they're exploiting a loophole, not reacting to the rising costs of food.

I don't support shoplifting however I do think it needs qualifying as to what is taken.
However there's another shoplifting that infuriates me That's when you've been in a store the previous day,shelves fully stacked even near closing, then you go in the next morning and some items still on the shelves have then had the price LIFTED by anything from 25p to even over 50p. I can get that as to new stock but not already purchased currenr shelf stock. Who is at times really robbing who? Last edited by joeysteele; 13-09-2023 at 07:06 AM. |

i think it's shoplifting on several levels
1. People that can't afford food for their families, which may have some justification 2. People that are just angry at business making money, when they dont have so much 3 Thieves So, on balance, there is next to no justification for it |

Sky were saying most of the shop lifting thefts ( especially the more violent ones ) nowadays were connected to organised crime gangs

Speaking of which and off topic but it's just reminded me - last week I bought a pack of Jaffa Cakes from a co-op and when we opened them, they were rock solid. I checked the best before date... April! April 2023! 5 months out of date?? |

Yeah but how long is it going to take to train all those millions of new recruits? Why this and not knife-crime prevention?

The lowest living standards in decades, a cost of living crisis that is squeezing people to their absolute limits and shoplifting has spiked? Some might consider that a coincidence, I do not
