Put your hands together (clutching your valuables) for today’s BBC hero, “Ross” described as a “prolific shoplifter”. After 15 convictions and stealing goods worth hundreds of pounds every day, he still hasn’t been to prison (perhaps because he didn’t shout at a police dog?).
What makes it worse is that he “stole to order” – I wonder if this will become a new way of life, when the cost of Net Zero catches up with us?. I will have to get a poachers pocket put into my blazer to get my Gillette Fusion blades (and they are expensive enough already). Perhaps the government will give him a small business start up (clearly daily shopping lists take a great deal of time) – or perhaps Rachel Reeves will just “accidentaly” drop a tin of John West salmon down the leg of her drawers. Kweer won’t have to worry because his sugar daddy buys all bis clothes for him, but Ross might be able to help out with cans of beer.
