    Why British supermarkets are so expensive

    Watch The Specials BBC iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode...als_Episode_1/

    A Roma germ (part of a gang) is caught red handed trying to wheel £900 of Jack Daniels out of Tesco in Peterborough.

    Deterrent sentence - 2 year conditional discharge and £80 costs the courts are having a laugh

    Is it any wonder they see us as a soft touch ?

    We should follow Singapore & Malaysia's example and thrash the hide off these vermin

    ... seems the hand is "loose" enough as it IS, Stewart:

    Let loose to "Roma~round" the Alcohol Section - managing to load £900-worth of booze into a without arousing too much suspicion - until finally being "shopped" then nabbed by a security guard.

    Arthur have a look at the programme - the security watched them throughout on CCTV .

    They're probably the robbers/shoplifters mentioned here - nice to see the courts doing their best to protect business's and the public

    The 'sentence' and fine were just pathetic.

    If the news of this pathetic gets back to their homeland it will no doubt give encouragement for others to try their luck in soft touch Britain, a slap on the wrist is hardly a deterrent
