Probably because of increasing poverty in UK.
Nah, I'm sure a bunch of people just misplaced their morality for no discernable reason!
Edit: typo
Poverty breeds criminals, reduce poverty reduce petty thefts
No, it doesn't. Look at the contents of the British museum and tell me, by dollar amount, who the biggest thieves are there. It's not the poor.
In the US, the biggest source of theft is time card theft from employers, followed closely by asset forfeiture (cops stealing). Poverty doesn't breed immorality, that's some classist bullshit.
Yeah that's ideologically creamy and everything but the rising cost of food has definitely led to me stealing it. I just don't happen to think it's immoral. If I see a food item I regularly consume literally double in price, at that point it's the seller being immoral. These kind of price hikes have become a regular occurrence, as well as the removal of budget versions of products from the shelves.
Man that’s some boogie opinion. Ofc rich people steal and they steal much larger amounts but in my poor ass neighborhood my friend got his shoes stolen and me my bike. In the hallway. By my neighbor who repainted it and just kept it there. And once I got even fucking candy stolen out of my hand. Poor people totally shit on each other and take what they can.
OTOH I don’t consider it immoral to steal from e.g. a supermarket, I couldn’t care less that the profit margin of some conglomerate decreases.
Yay, higher prices to offset the theft and increased surveillance!
As long as it's from supermarkets 😀
