You sound like ''no bread, let them eat cake''
I could agree less, Sass.
[quoteIt wasn't any old crime. Not a robbery not a burglary.
Just the taking of food itself not money from someones purse and not a mugging. Not a false claim for another benefit just wanting food having starved for days...[/quote]But its still a crime. It's taking someone else's possession, and is very similar to taking money from someone's purse.
Why not starve yourself for 4 days and then tell us you did not feel hunger pains or need to eat.
A more important question is why, in this day and age, had she been without food for 4 days. After all, pretty well every town, city and even many villages have some form of food bank/provision for the homeless.
The real reason we have money problems are the high wages they pay themselves and the immigrants now coming in large numbers to take the benefits which were solely meant for the people here.
However, the way to get rid of the system was to bring those immigrants in to make the excuse. Now they have done what they were brought here to do, they don't want anymore in and they want those already here... OUT...
Please tell me that you aren't being serious here, Sass. Not only are immigrants 'taking the benefits which were solely meant for the people here". Not sure that there a such benefits, but more importantly, the majority of immigrants are working and earning perfectly legitimately- and paying tax as appropriate. Ironically, most immigrants want to work, but British law often states that they can't. I used to teach the children of an Afghan who was a highy qualified and experienced ophthalmology surgeon, with qualifications from Moscow and London. At the time, the local University College Hospital had a vacancy for just that speciality - yet it was made very clear that he was not eligible to apply for the job, even though he had received refugee status a year earlier. By the time I left that job two years later, the post was still vacant!!
