I’ve definitely seen a lot more shoplifting over the past few months. From what I’ve seen, they don’t go to the big shops they go to the Tesco Extras, Sainsburys local etc.
One time I was stood a metre away from some guy openly just heaving stuff off shelves into a backpack.
He ran out of the shops and called one of the workers a cunt when she got in his way. She was obviously quite autistic and very distressed by the situation.
I swear everything about this country is getting worse.
Underfunding the police, all mental health and social support, and having leaders who constantly, openly cheat, steal and lie for a decade.
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.
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.
I don’t know if organised gangs do. Did you see the videos in the article? The first video was just a bunch of teens being cunts, the second video they were just stealing alcohol, not exactly a priority when you’re in need.
Either way, it’s all part of the same problem. The populace is getting poorer and more desperate, and more crime ridden. Seems to be a common problem across a lot of the western world recently.
