Smashing The Artful Dodgers

Petty criminals who steal goods from shopkeepers and retailers are to be targeted in a new government initiative. About time. This country, the United Kingdom, is much too soft on crime and its causes.

Punish them; make them pay for their dishonest acts, says his lordship. Teach them a lesson.
