'Ash' says they shouldn't have to make the choice between buying food and going out with friends. So they shoplift as they refuse to accept it.

Lola steals coffee because its £7 a jar and she doesn't want to buy a cheaper brand as she is used to the expensive one.

I am staggered at the entitled behaviour of these people. Surely you have to just cut your cloth to suit your purse. End of.

I think the point of the article was to show its not just desperate mums stealing nappies and baby food, but also entitled youngsters who have never had it rough, but been brought up with all their needs and wants met.

We have done this, as a collective society, to our children.

Suspect you are being generous.

Cost of living challenges the climate wealth transfer. People who can’t eat don’t want to cut back further and pay more in green tax/regs so that BBC types and their public sector friends can benefit from administering it.

So tell the majority that the problem isn’t real.
