Mecky Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Heard this on the radio this morning and found the story on the BBC website. People are stealing to eat and halfway down there's a section on the cost to business. Good grief. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-20761726 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chopperfan Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 How much of this actual cost to business is actually committed by staff I wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenRivers Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 They get child benefit for things like baby milk, they should stop spending it on booze and fags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 They get child benefit for things like baby milk, they should stop spending it on booze and fags. There are many crass assumptions in that sentence it's hard to know where to start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-20761726 It makes you wonder why other people in the same situation don’t need to steal to survive; maybe they have different priorities when it comes to spending the free money they get.

Maybe they don't. You've made the mistake of falling into the trap of divide and conquer which has been set by Lord Voldemort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jza80 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) We should ban people on benefit from buying booze, scratch cards/lottery or cigs Edited December 18, 2012 by jza80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolster Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 If a mother has no money to feed herself and children it is morally correct to steal food and nappies, as it would be morally incorrect to see them go undernourished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
