Fetch me another spade! That quote and the other one I would say are entirely in line with their identity politics influenced, intersectional pov these days. I suspect that's why they picked it because it fits into a wider narrative that's popular at the BBC. Anyway, I'm not happy about what they've done to Roisin Murphy! Is this real?

They feel entitled. Hence the anger when someone tries to stop them.
It's a symptom of gross inequalities in our country.

It's nothing to do with "gross inequality". The article makes it explicitly clear that this is the work of organised criminal gangs.
Shoplifting has been effectively decriminalised.

Debtors Gaol, the birch and national service. It's hardly a right wing trope to feel a shopkeeper who is getting his store looted many times in a single day by armed intruders should be getting some protection or help J.

Sensible views Geraint, unlike some of our more left-orientated members. Looting is theft. In most cases concerning rioting and looting, it is small business owners who face the wrath of the mob, and in most cases it is them who are ruined by such activities. In the infamous New York blackout looting of 1977, one small suburb of Brooklyn called Bushwick had over 750 shops and small businesses ransacked and looted in the space of 24 hours. They were, for the most part, husband and wife or small family businesses, and virtually all of them were ruined.

It's hardly a right wing trope to feel a shopkeeper who is getting his store looted many times in a single day by armed intruders should be getting some protection or help J. Of course not. It is an indicator of a crumbling society, law and order is less of a concern to many. I, before I left the U.K, listed among the handful of reasons for leaving, was that I was sick and tired of 'shouters'. A general and non specific use of terminology I agree. These 'shouters' are everywhere, in the workplace, in shops, etc. It's self entitlement, it's arrogance and it's almost universally practiced. Modern day policing is either considered weak or working towards a police state. We are either protected or nannied. This does not concern a whole section of society necessarily, until their actions and perceived attitudes towards acceptable behaviour are questioned. How do we help the shopkeeper ? Through legislation, punishments, education. I don't know. I am not alone though. I just fucked off away from it. All the fight was kicked out of me . I just got tired of stupid people.
