Who would have thought that decriminalising shop theft under £250 would lead to a major rise in shoplifting.
Wealthy politicians?
Or profiteering by companies? But yeah let’s ignore the MP/corporation theft of millions and focus on someone stealing some bread. Sky News, always punching down.
@@capabilitybrown2323 there thick as mince meat
And retail staff are getting sacked for challenging them
Source…trust me bro.
Tackling a shoplifter creates a major legal headache (the perp has the right to press charges) and it's just unnecessarily endangering yourself; supermarkets have insurance in the event of thefts.
Luckily for the population as a whole... anytime someone upsets someone on the internet,
the UK's police will deal with 100% of the complaints. Because it's extremely dangerous to have people saying whatever they like.
Never mind saying what they like, simply stating facts and reality is bad enough.
Knock knock lol
Depends if crime is reported. People now believe the police wont do anything so dont report it.
More shop lifting more closures, less choice, forced to buy online, all part of the plan. Keep us in our little boxes.
Lifting has become one of the top ten occupations in the UK now
Only among pagan invaders
Nothing else pays a decent salary lol
I'm getting pretty good at it 🤔
Not surprised spend 100 pound and still nothing in your fridge plus half the 3rd world living here now.
Could I stop paying my council tax then without being arrested?
If the majority did this what could they do 🤔
Yes
Multiculturalism is the issue
That's true, before immigration we only had a couple of prisons . Some would say it was near a utopian society as one could get .
Most of the shoplifters I've seen go out the door have been white. Most of the ones we stalked around the shop or spoke to us (usually to try and distract while their friends pilfered) have had British accents.
Indeed. There was no crime in good old blighty before the immigrants showed up. Sad state of affairs we're in now.
Your people are doing it mate all white. Enjoy
When society can't afford things crime does increase pretty basic knowledge
spotted a man shoplifting in Tesco today, staff couldn’t do anything before he ran off
Good. Happy for them…no reason to put staff at risk to defend the insane profits these companies are making on the back of workers and customers.
@@godlikemonolith there is usually a security guard but the shop lifters have got wise to the times he works
@@KingCharles3 no reason to put the security guard at risk either. Lower your prices and pay your staff better. The real criminals are the corporations and people that run them.
I live near a Tesco extra in a rough area , it’s crazy how many people just walk in and run out with booze 😂 I saw someone running out the fire door with a trolley full of sht once 😂😂
Fair play to the bloke, Tesco rob the customer on the daily.
Seen 3 cops arrive 15 mins after being called to a shoplifting incident. One was still carrying his McDonalds brew.
Had he paid for it though 😂
Maybe cause prices for everything have gone through the roof?
They go through the roof to compensate theft 🤦🏾♀️
@@linzivalenti not true at all idiot
@linzivalenti no they originally went up because of rampant inflation that the government did nothing to curtail. It is greedy businesses trying to make record profits selling food to poor people who struggle to live
@@linzivalenti A company can write off theft. The reason they don't like it is cause the theft only counts for how much the item cost them. Not what it goes for retail. Also company profits are soaring. Not sure what your talking about.
No it's to pay back all the cash wasted on that heavy cold over three years.
Shoplifting food I get but expensive clothes not so much
Goods like that are normally sold to provide money for drug habits
Thought it increased due to cost of living- i've seen 'middle class' products like coffee, olives get stolen 👀 Everyone is feeling the pinch
it is getting way worse than a decade ago. imagine a mcd cheese burger meal for us poor folk that cost 2 quid now costs 3,79
@@PHlopheyou could always cook your own hamburger.
@@basedscotsman8142 i could but it is not as cheap as people think it is. i could easily spend £10 on ingredients alone. i eat canned peas and sardines and sometimes thuna in Brine. I just need to warm it up a bit to save on electricity. but i need something different every now and then
It's horrific for the poorest people but once again it's the middle class who feel the most worst off because it's those that are paying 50% tax and carrying the country and get shafted by the government at every opportunity
And boat people at record levels question answered
Typical mong response 😂😂
Coffee shop lifter round our local Co Op, every week takes a jar and shouts mental health reasons 🎉
Lets put gates up in supermarkets and treat buying groceries with your hard earned money like its a privilege. Oh wait, that is what they are doing. Guilty until proven innocent.
I strongly believe shoplifting is increasing, but it's being reported less. Due to lack of action or prosecution.
We lose stock every day to theives, and it's not always reported.
I feel for small shop owners. If they have to increase prices because of these thieves, they then risk losing paying customers.
How do they survive.
Maybe should have thought about this in the pandemic 🤔shopkeepers where robbing the general public blind
More cultural enrichment.
At the very end one of the shoplifters clearly had white hands so was a white person
@@dorino9057apparently white people don't commit crimes and are angels
How about corporate shops lower their damn prices and stop taking the piss out of consumers?
Just a thought..
What people feel about crime is often different from the reality.
If they're stealing food I don't care. Anything else doesn't make sense.
No-one should be stealing anything, it's a crime.
Hello my beautiful angel
All done by design
Broken society.
Foreigners, innit mate!
🥰🤣🤣🤣🤣
If they weren't so greedy and ripping the people off then use the cost of living crisis as leverage may be it would reduce!
I saw one guy stealing Lidl freeway cola.😂
😮 desperatation
So crime is at its lowest levels yet what we pay for the Police Authority and the PCC in our Council Tax always goes UP!!!
Shoplifting from big shops is great for the economy. Rathed than tesco taking £100 a week from each of us and siphoning that money out of the economy to an offshore bank account, people keep it and spend it on things within the country. Thus stimulating the economy.
Cobblers.
Shoplifting makes everyone poorer
Great for _whose_ ‘economy’? It’s not great for the average person’s ‘economy’ as all it does is force the shops who have stolen stock to pass it on to the consumer in increased prices.
That's nonsense
Moron
Close all the stores.
5 pounds for ketchup is the reason 😮
A combination of the consequences of inflation, shrinkflation, and millions and millions of new arrivals into the country from completely different cultures, every year-legally and illegally.
What does the government expect?
Anything other than a total collapse..?
Nothing to do with immigration. People are not illegal. Stop being racist. It’s all down to profiteering by the corporations. Massive profits.
People download the crime on the social the social media , nowadays.
That could be the reason of feeling the crime is worse
I surely hope, there won't be a time when shopkeepers would have to rely on tip like restaurant waiter/ess.
After arriving to this country in 2019 , shop lifting was my only way of making money , i made 40 to 60 thousand a year ❤... England like big sweet shop
More poverty, more crime - and boy! After 14 years of Tories, we are mostly POOR!
NOTHING I REPEAT NOTHING JUSTIFIES STEALING & SHOPLIFTING IN ISLAAM
People are starving and food's double the price steal away peeps
Im a nurse and the governments decided to take 35% of my pay off me over a 16 year period. Theyve also increased taxes and everythings got much more expensive. Why should I be significantly poorer because the rich want more billions? Id recommend everyone steals 20% of their weekly shop to fight back against the torys and the big businesses profiteering off our misery
Maybe we should try communism. That way there would be no rich people - although everyone would be poor. I would be interested to know what your salary is if it is taxed at 35%. It must be a lot more than me. Yet I don't encourage people to break the law. I wonder how many shops would stay open in your neck of the woods if everyone just helped themselves?
@user-qo8ci2ye6v Poverty is already here through capitalism. We are all getting poorer and the rich are getting richer. That's the direction money is flowing in - from the poor to the rich. Its just been going in one direction for the last 40 years. The rich have got richer and the poor have got poorer.
Absolute lie! Nurses are extremely well paid. £35,000?? Think of a number Jonny ball
@@user-qo8ci2ye6v I didn't say I was taxed at 35%. The government has simply given us 35% paycuts over 16 years. We haven't had a payrise since 2008.
Cash in hand work should be more commonplace too, should aim to declare as little as possible.
Unemployed young people do shop lifting
The bloke speaking looks like the disabled version of The Gamesmaster 👁
Where's your story about Tommy Robinson being acquitted?
😂😂😂
Not a lot of blond people on the footages i guess 🤣
I shop lift from time to time nothing wrong with that.
Yes there is something wrong with it, it's called stealing, from an ex-con, & the prices go up higher, including Insurance ?
A True British Patriot 😂😂😂
What goes around comes around
We used to go to hmv and peel the security labels off cds and dvds, was such a thrill
The real figure is gonna be higher, co's much never get's reported.
I'm broke myself almost on the verge of being homless because of this government and inflation!! The government needs to stop worrying about trump and start taking care of real issue's the American people are facing!! With that being said i wouldn't even steal even food if i was starving to death ! And trust me folks some days i don't even eat so my family can that's how bad it is for us and many others I'm sure .
I am in the same boat myself mate, just hang on, hopefully it will be better, I can not even steal a Mars bar, never mind shoplifting, & having a family is even harder, especially these days, I pray trump wins, no wars & inflation will go down if he becomes president including here in the UK. I hope things get better my friend, take care of yourself & your lovely family.🙂.
Same here, it’s about morality, my daughter works in matalan and when she stops people shoplifting she has had death threats and abuse, people telling her they’ll find out where she lives!! She’s only 21 ffs.
Sorry your nearly homeless but this is a British news channel has nothing to do with the "American people"
Yep while dingy merchants get free accommodation,no utility bills and free food.
Take a look at our culture. Look what they've pumped into people's heads the last couole of decades. This isn't shocking at all. Crime was glamourised in our mainstream music and entertainment.
No even gentile Chiswick
As long as there is no proper punishment, this menace is not going to get controlled.
😮
Should be a law where a shopkeeper are allow to protect themselves.
Dont raise prices if youre gonna complain about shoplifting
Prices go up cos of shoplifting
@@davidmarchant9386that's pure bullshit
The 🐍 eats own tail when it’s doesn’t have an external host to devour. Hence, the end stages of capitalism.
Is this tawt gonna mention infaltion?
I. Western countries u do crime u get a reward and if u get stopped by a worker they lose their jobs
I'm NOT Surprised!!!😁🥴
