UK Politics: Return of the Sausages

Don't supermarket chains have trained security staff?

And are there any regulations or laws which forbid them from acting on the spot to prevent theft?

To be fair, I think until they attempt to leave the premises, they aren't guilty of theft.... so this clip doesn't show actual theft.

Thing is Tesco's has a captive market so the higher-ups will be happier to plead corporate responsibility than be seen to be heavy handed on those poor down-and-out-in-Hampstead-Heathers.

Yes, the security staff I mentioned are directly or indirectly employed by the supermarket chains.

They do intervene - most of the shoplifting perps are known to security staff anyway, from previous encounters. They are often followed around the store as a deterrent, but yes, can only really be jumped on when they leave.

Tell tale signs are people wearing heavy clothing in summer and even things like prams are used to assist the skulduggery. Security staff generally know what to look out for.

Retail management are heavily targeted on shrinkage reduction, so there's no way that shoplifting is ignored - whether it's perpetrated by external scoundrels or by staff themselves.
 
It will be kak funny if Keir Starmer steals this idea & implements this.


Britain should look at replicating a controversial Danish 'ghetto law' allowing officials to tear down social housing in immigrant-dominated neighbourhoods to promote 'assimilation', Kemi Badenoch said today.

The opposition leader said she was 'looking at' the scheme passed by the government in Copenhagen in 2023, which allows the redevelopment of urban areas with a majority 'non-Western' population.

I don't see the problem here. What are they doing wrong?

Nothing yet, unless the contract they enter into by walking through the door says you may not put produce into your clothing or bags.

It's what happens when they want to leave that is more interesting... this just looks like a couple of deros who have no intention of paying.

Shopping at Tesco with a Waitrose bag is frowned upon.

It's like flaunting your Woolies bags at Checkers.

Pretending to be a posh shoplifter. Eish.

I thought checkers was a cut above, these days.

(some of) The staff certainly give the impression they feel they are a cut above.

It looks more like an attention seeking tiktok video than anything else. They should sue the shop for harassment.
 
Jesus effing christ 🙄 If they need to be told this, they need to be deported right away.

Asylum seekers have been told by police to treat women with respect and not harass them or risk being arrested.

Officers have drawn up a PowerPoint presentation for asylum seekers in hotels on the key points of “UK culture” which they are told they should respect.

It includes recognising that women “have the same rights as men”, so “must be treated with respect and courtesy”. “If you harass or abuse any female, you can be arrested,” it states.
