  1. Every Liddle Helps (herself).

    Ok I’m proud of that one. I was going to go for the rather more obvious play on Lidl, but I couldn’t really think of one.

  2. Seeing as shoplifting is legal for all practical purposes, what’s the actual incentive to try and be honest. I could save thousands by just stealing my groceries.

    It’s not like we have any social structure left to apply social shame as disincentive.

  3. “Liddle has a reputation within her community for using drugs, including heroin and cocaine, according to a social worker who has worked with Liddle.”
    Social worker: Confidentiality be damned!

  4. 3 strikes and your out….or in the case of the UK 172nd strike and you’re free.

  5. If we gave drugs away for free on the NHS then she probably wouldn’t have any convictions.

    But this is much better isn’t it. 

  6. Thanks for the tip, I’ll be there to pick her up.
    Christmas round the corner.

  7. With how this country treats shoplifting, if she’s been convicted 172 times she can’t be very good at it.

  8. Remember everyone, the sooner she is released the better – harsh sentencing is **not** an effective deterrent. If we introduced harsh consequences to crime, all these prolific shoplifters would do it even more.
