In :unsmith: news, a country that isn't us has done something nice

quote:

Stealing small amounts of food to stave off hunger is not a crime, Italy's highest court of appeal has ruled.

Judges overturned a theft conviction against Roman Ostriakov after he stole cheese and sausages worth €4.07 (£3; $4.50) from a supermarket.

Mr Ostriakov, a homeless man of Ukrainian background, had taken the food "in the face of the immediate and essential need for nourishment", the court of cassation decided.

Therefore it was not a crime, it said.

A fellow customer informed the store's security in 2011, when Mr Ostriakov attempted to leave a Genoa supermarket with two pieces of cheese and a packet of sausages in his pocket but paid only for breadsticks.

In 2015, Mr Ostriakov was convicted of theft and sentenced to six months in jail and a €100 fine.

For the judges, the "right to survival prevails over property", said an op-ed in La Stampa newspaper (in Italian).

In times of economic hardship, the court of cassation's judgement "reminds everyone that in a civilised country not even the worst of men should starve".

An opinion piece in Corriere Della Sera says statistics suggest 615 people are added to the ranks of the poor in Italy every day - it was "unthinkable that the law should not take note of reality".

It criticised the fact that a case concerning the taking of goods worth under €5 went through three rounds in the courts before being thrown out.

The "historic" ruling is "right and pertinent", said Italiaglobale.it - and derives from a concept that "informed the Western world for centuries - it is called humanity".
However, his case was sent to appeal on the grounds that the conviction should be reduced to attempted theft and the sentence cut, as Mr Ostriakov had not left the shop premises when he was caught.

Italy's Supreme Court of Cassation, which reviews only the application of the law and not the facts of the case, on Monday made a final and definitive ruling overturning the conviction entirely.

Stealing small quantities of food to satisfy a vital need for food did not constitute a crime, the court wrote.

"The condition of the defendant and the circumstances in which the seizure of merchandise took place prove that he took possession of that small amount of food in the face of an immediate and essential need for nourishment, acting therefore in a state of necessity," wrote the court.

Of course we'll see nothing of the sort here.

The way this cuts seatwise, SF are expected to lose one (to People Before Profit in West Belfast) and the UUP may return to the levels achieved last election - they lost three seats to defections since then (one to UKIP and two split off to form NI21, a liberal multi denomination unionist party that has all but folded).

The SDLP may do enough to hold what they have which will be good news for them as they have been privately expecting the apocalypse.

Two seats worth watching are Belfast South and Foyle (which covers Derry and its metropolitan area). Belfast South is probably the most liberal constituency in the province and captures a large part of Belfast's student population as well as affluent middle class neighbourhoods and a couple of working class areas. None of the candidates who contested the last election are standing again, notably former poll topper Anna Lo for Alliance. The SDLP clung onto the Westminster seat with the smallest share of the vote for any seat in the general election but are hoping the personal unpopularity of the candidate Alisdair McDonnell was to blame for that (he was leader at the time but was subsequently defeated in a leadership contest). The DUP are facing a challenge from a former party member turned renegade who is pulling campaign support from more hardline unionists connected to the flag protests looking to upset the parties decision parachute Peter Robinson's former SPAD into the seat.

Foyle is a face-off between the SDLP and SF, Martin McGuinness has switched constituencies to run in Foyle against new SDLP leader Colum Eastwood and are looking to change the balance of power from 3 SDLP/2 SF to 3 SF/2 SDLP. With the subsequent squeeze its possible two other candidates could slip in to grab the last seat from SDLP/SF, veteran socialist commentator Eamonn McCann and an independent left wing candidate backed by dissident republican councillors who could scoop up the (unfortunately growing) dissident vote.

It's a shame, because repeated governments, Westminster & Holyrood both, have failed to address the serious consequences of poverty in parts of Glasgow, especially relating to lowered life expectancy. If it takes patronising charity efforts from well-meaning Yanks to do something, I can't get offended by it. Obviously there are places that probably need that charity more urgently but people getting offended by it is a bit daft. But that's Weegies for you, a tad sensitive about their town.
