  • I presume you approve of children being transported in chains to the colonies, on boats full of cholera, for stealing a loaf of bread to fill their bellies?

    We are talking about cheese here. Cheese.

    If people are so hard up they have got to the point where they are willing to risk a criminal record over a 10 slice pack of Emmental half inched from some vile corporation that is squeezing the very life blood out of the lowest paid and disenfranchised. Then I find my moral compass is somewhat untroubled.


    Approving or disapproving of the punishment doesn't negate from the fact that the crime is stealing what ever spin you may wish to put on trying to justify the fact you seem to approve of it.

    I used to work in a petrol station and we sold bacon amongst other things. It is no exaggeration to say that more bacon was stolen than was paid for.

    So did you charge 2-3X going rate of bacon to cover the losses? :eek:

    Cheese indeed, but somebody else's cheese. Somebody else paid for that cheese, then can't enjoy it (or the benefit of it) if you steal it.
    But Tesco really don't want their cheese. They want it off the premises as fast as possible. The only issue is whether you're going to pay them the amount they'd like you to.

    Given that you're being fleeced rotten on the rest of your load of arbitrarily-priced shopping, you might feel a certain entitlement to a freebie. You might even wonder who's stealing from who.
