      >Met Police claim a member of the group subsequently paid for items in the London protest. Officers are reviewing CCTV footage to verify this.

      >Take Back Power has been contacted for comment regarding Met Police’s claim.

      >Take Back Power denied paying for the items, but said that activists had “set up a stall that was technically still on the property of the supermarket” meaning “no crime was committed, because none of the produce actually ended up leaving the site”, according to The Independent.

      All of that is…really weird.

      Either way, shoplifting is probably not the best way to go about this.

      So, an organised gang decided to rob businesses under an excuse. If they want to help those in need, they can just go to work and donate money.

      However, right now they just do a typical crime.

      Shoplifters done rarely get prosecuted so easy win really.
      Edit: spelling

      I’m sure that the Sheriff of Nottingham has his best people on the case.

      Literally too stupid to consider the second- or third-order effects of their actions… But hey! They stuck it to the man!

      Also:

      Nope. In England & Wales, the offence of theft is completed once the intent to permanently deprive the rightful owner of their property is formed. For practical purposes, this is ordinarily easiest to demonstrate once you’ve left the premises with the goods but you don’t actually have to leave the premises to be guilty of theft.

      Mind. We could have everyone at this. Becouse there are a lot of people in need. Society needs strictl rules around food. If we steel prices go up.
      A better solution is more funds for food banks. Well intended steeling is like well intended killing a contradiction.
      These people have exposed a need thst church’s and others need to gather more funding to address. Its a real issues just highlighted by brave people

      this doesnt do anyone amy good, I respect them sort of for feeding people but if they had bought the food theyd be getting much more positive publicity

      When was the last time someone died of malnutrition in the uk (through poverty not illness/mental ilness/ abusive parents).

      Not trying to play devil’s advocate, genuinely curious.

      Many suppliers to supermarkets can be contacted directly and asked to donate food. A little bit of organisation would avoid illegally but as a concept it is easy, fast, and gets attention

      “Take back power “ it’s hard to take back something that we’ve never had.

      Also, these people are idiots

      People are always moaning that protestors shouldn’t be doing things that disrupt the lives of ordinary people. Well, here they are – and people are still moaning about it.

      Another Just Stop Oil spinoff behaving like idiots. Shocking. Or perhaps not.

      Why do big numbers scare people so much? Supermarkets are extremely efficient. They run at a 3% profit margin. That’s it. Every £10 worth of stuff you buy from them, they only make 30p. Scaling that up to serving people in the whole country makes for a scary number, but there’s no profiteering going on in there.

      Given most poor people are reliant on supermarkets, cos you know we sadly can’t afford to shop at the lovely 0 waste organic indie shop, doing something that’s gonna ultimately cause the prices to go up for the sake of making a point is fucking stupid. At least junkies on the rob have got a fairly valid reason – being dopesick is utterly horrendous and not something I’d wish on the vast majority. This is just performative bollocks.

      The ceo of Tesco or wherever may well be an overpaid fat cat, but they’re not the reason for (food) poverty. Instead of robbing off supermarkets surely working with them to reduce food waste is a better idea. We need more schemes that take said food waste and use it for things like communal kitchens, you know giving people a decent meal when they can’t otherwise afford it. But that takes hardwork and comes with sod all public applaud or attention, and clearly just quietly doing a good thing isn’t enough for these dimlows.

      Poor Sainsbury’s 🙁
      On a serious note this will raise prices because of security and locking items up if it goes far enough.
      Something needs to be done about corpos though
