When it comes to shoplifting supermarkets, I’m of the opinion that that is a symptom of the state failing to, or worse, choosing not to, take care of those who, for whatever reason, can’t take care of themselves and those they are responsible for.

You don’t know what it’s like, you don’t have a clue.
And if you did you’d find yourself doing the same thing too.
