Reports that a group called Everybody Eats is is stealing food from supermarkets in a place called Hastings, famous for capitulating to the Norman invasion, to donate to food banks. Are these modern days Robin Hood types of common thieves ? What's going on here guys. It's all over the news ?! |

I saw someone who worked in a food bank comment on this.
The food banks have great deals set up with the supermarkets already, they know what they need to help with parcels and they can get it at very favourable prices that we consumers couldn't manage. So what they want most is donations of cash to help put together the best boxes for people who need it.
In my eyes this is petty theft disguised with some hero complex. Your motivation doesn't stop it being a crime. |

I agree.
There are a lot of people recently who want to protest and think the best way to do it is by criminal acts.
Donate your own money and protest another way. |

"I imagine that they have seen the large profit gouging that the supermarkets have done and don't feel any shame, by comparison "
Maybe but I think they miss the fact that losses via theft are passed on to the customer. So by default you and I are paying for their faux philanthropy. |
