Comment on No excuse for shoplifting because UK's benefits system is very generous, policing minister says

It's not either/or.

The UK benefits system is not generous enough. But most shoplifting is drug-related, it's not Jean Valjean stealing a loaf of bread for his starving niece.

The poor and their children suffer in Britain, but they do so while staying within the rules.
