People steal mostly because they can’t afford shit tho.
Comment on ‘It’s organised looting’: UK in grip of a shoplifting epidemic, say store owners

This makes the country and people’s behaviour worse? Surprised Pikachu
I feel like the UK is falling apart and half the population is doing their best to fuel the flames.

I don’t know if organised gangs do. They probably sell half of it on.
Either way, it’s all part of the same problem. The populace is getting poorer and more desperate. Seems to be a common problem across a lot of the western world recently.

Yeah, it’s all gone to shit.
In a way I’m kinda hopeful for the future though, it feels like more people are gradually acknowledging the country is in a poor state, and some Brexit people even acknowledge it was a mistake.
Unlike in the US where people seem to double down on the country being great when things are actually getting worse.
