hi everyone!
Been on here a while but haven’t posted much. I’m sure everyone is aware of van theft/tool theft at the moment. There’s a petition at the moment which is asking for tougher sentences and more to be done to the people taking tradesmens livelihood. I’ve attached a link for it if anyone wants to sign it. Credit to Peter booth ( pb plumber ) for creating the petition.

Petition: Investigate what more can be done to tackle van theft and van tool theft.
 
Couldn't agree more and as we can see from the states, its not even effective, its hardly a crime free utopia over there and more often than not the innocent are the victims of an exponentially brutal society. The 'eye for an eye leaves everyone blind' adage has a lot going for it. Don't get me wrong its important for there to be consequences to actions, but they should be based on rule of law not extra judicial imo.
I agree about the point of law etc... however the police are a non-entity these days for this kind of thing so at present there are NO consequences for these scumbags actions and they know it as they know there’s no police left anyway, thanks to Tory cuts, so they’ve nothing to fear and can do as they please. Makes me sick!
Until police start to give a damn then eye for an eye, unfortunately, is the only avenue open for hard working people.
