 Nearly all the UK papers today have articles about the rise of shoplifting but they don't mention:

Loads of folk are skint via govt policies
Loads of folk who are skint have kids to feed
Food banks are struggling to provide because *they're* skint
There's another group who just have less money but still feel entitled to fancy things because of this 4-decades-long Thatcherite obsession with individualism and all its accompanying societal effects

Riots soon, eh. :blobcatcoffee:
