in all the reports of this, there's no indication that either the store, or the authorities, did anything to stop them, nor that they intend any follow-up.
Is theft justified in the face of need? or does the need itself mean that helping yourself to food is no longer theft?

You raised poverty so up to you to define how you see it. I simply said it is relative - which it is.
No one looks down on people having a helping hand when down on their luck (Apart from Capita workers maybe). That is simply perceived.

TTT...you really need to stop with the 60 inch TV's nonsense.
Poverty is real and it's happening to people in work, not just lazy layabouts.
There is no excuse for stealing though. Maybe the human rights laws need a little tweaking. Arrest them and put them all in a holding cell. I'm sure the real nut cases would scare the life out of them.

Theland I have never seen anyone on here being hostile towards those who genuinely need food banks or get into rent and mortgage arrears. Any hostility is directed at those who have never done sweet FA in trying to find work or bring babies into the world when they can't support them - and why should they, they know there are countless soft hearts, mugs and benefits to see them through. It's those habitual scroungers that get on people's goat, not the unfortunate who find themselves in a situation not of their own doing - which can happen to anyone.
