Edit : Changed link to non AMP one.
Edit2 : Apparently I HAVE to use the original shitty title from the article.
Grocery theft is on the rise but we won’t tax the rich or bring back down the prices, we will jail those in need instead.
Money is better spent in the police forces anyway /s
Note the actual figures in the article; shoplifting has only just risen to match or slightly exceed pre pandemic levels. This is a manufactured narrative. There is no pandemic of shoplifting happening.
Shoplifting back to prepandemic levels doesn’t have the same ring.
