Hungry Kidderminster woman stole Mars bars after benefit sanctions left her with no money for food

[Mr.Bishie]

I hope JC raises this and the number of suicides, he has discussed sanctions, but afaik, its not a key policy area.

Arm the working class JC! & lets get to it!

He noted Drew had a “privileged background and a lot going for him”. He was privately educated at the Anglo European School and got a business degree from the University of Chester.

The judge said he weighed up the seriousness of the incident against the effect a prison term would have on Drew’s City career, having heard he would lose his job if was jailed.

Its so blatant, isn't it?, they won the class war.

Hands down

'They' only call it 'class war' when we FIGHT BACK!

I just...I don't even...what? Of course he'd lose his fucking job, you're supposed to lose your job if you do stuff like that

A few years back there was a case in Dublin were 3 grammar school wankers kicked a young working class kid to death in a queue outside a nightclub . They walked . Same excuse ...would be a blight on their prospects.

A few years later a top business executive hid in the bushes and attacked a random woman walking to her home at night . Tried to rape her . He fucking walked too. Same shit .

the judiacry and the yoemanry/police have always but always hammered the poorest hardest. Its not a modern development, they've always been a mechanism for the defense of property and privilege

Or when you even mention it..or hint at it..as in the case with millipede. That deranged Stalinist who wanted to bring north Korea to chipping sodbury

 

[Gromit]

That is pretty amazing.

If that isn't a clear statement that he's being let off because of money and class, what is?

£460 compo for blood ruined clothes
£100 compo for being physically injusred and the mental anguish

Victim surcharges are a joke.

It's just affluenza

Chairman of the magistrates Maurice Lashford did not accept Sewell's reasons for the theft.

He said: "We do not readily accept you go into a shop to steal just for being hungry."

Say that again?!?!?!

Is he hinting she's a key member of an international mars bar trafficking ring ?
Or part of some religious cult that sacrifices mars bar to a horn'ed demon entity ?

The fucking prick .

He's never been hungry. He cannot compute what having not eaten for days might feel like. Empathy is not something they teach you at Eton.

 

[Pickman's model]

Arm the working class JC! & lets get to it!

arm the unemployed

 

[Casually Red]

Someone should start one of those Internet fundraising things for that woman . She's fucking starving , and I'm sitting here drinking pints of erdinger for the fifth day in a row. I'd happily chuck in a tenner .

I think it's something that they teach out of you at Eton

yeh, me too.

The store manager should have shown some discretion in not referring this to the police in the first place...

The police also should have shown some discretion in not charging her in the first place.

 

[Casually Red]

yeh, me too.

It'd definitely be better than just getting frustrated and annoyed about it . Plus if that judges object was...and most likely was..to grind a human being down for the Lols then it'd be a fuck you to him and all .
I'm in if anyone knows how to do that stuff .

Definitely ... A whole supply chain of dickheads throughout this process ...

Be up for that too ...

 

[Private Storm]

Be up for that too ...

Same. This has depressed the fck out of me.

 

[DotCommunist]

yeh, me too.

you can put me down for a fiver. I've been there with the steal or starve, bindive while on the supposedly sufficient dole when sanctioned.

it won't help any wider situation but one person can get a sense that there are people out there better than some shitbag who doesn't believe a grown woman would try and fail to nick some sweets out of hunger.

 

[J Ed]

Be up for that too ...

Me too, I have been looking around at sites to set it up on but I don't know which would be the best one, does anyone know?

 

[DotCommunist]

observe how once again people just a few rungs economically up than this woman is atm are straight up to help. Whereas the likes of well fed judge mgee, well nothing but further grinding into the dirt

The way I look at it it does sort of help the bigger picture. While its just physically helping one person it's also sending a wider message that this type of stuff...all of it..from the poverty to the inhumanity of the system ..that it's not on . That they can fuck off with it. And that there is such a thing as " we"

Really hope someone can get the ball rolling on that .

 

[Casually Red]

21st century for fucks sake and there's a woman reduced to stealing chocolate..worth less than a fucking pound . In one of the most developed countries in the world .
Shit makes me want to do some really bad things to certain people .

 

[DotCommunist]

Me too, I have been looking around at sites to set it up on but I don't know which would be the best one, does anyone know?

I think Geri SpookyFrank may both have some experince in these things? All I know is Kickstarter which is not appropriate for a fund, its a venture capital crowdsourced type thing

We use gofundme. It's a doddle to set up a page on there. I'll gladly chip in if the hat does get sent round.

e2a: It allows for anonymous donations too, which is a good feature. Only the person who set up the page will get to see your name if you so desire.
