Spangly A posted:I've never heard of it and I don't know anyone in (supermarket) retail who has heard of it. I also can't be arsed to go through Mike Ashley's repeated ignorance-is-a-defence claims but I would imagine it'd be much more likely in sportswear than supermarkets. Its absolutely not supposed to happen and like yourself I've never heard of it occurring in a supermarket but have in a few other environments, which raised questions about the legality of doing so. Answer: Its not. I'm not sure if this came up in the Sports Direct debacle to be honest. Shoplifting doesn't just occur in supermarkets and department stores. Of course they are the bigger targets but its not unheard of for independent shops to be hit by shoplifting as well. In fact it does have a direct negative impact on some of the larger businesses' employees as a whole in cases like the Co-Op and John Lewis/Waitrose because of the company structure. That's mostly why even your Saturday morning part time shelf stacker will be (quite understandably) annoyed by someone trying to nick a few razor blades or a few joints of beef.

That's not necessarily strictly true. I bet at least a few Friedmanites did the numbers and found that the profitability of legalized drugs is nothing to the money that can be wrung out of stuffing private prisons with dirt cheap labour.

The answer to that is fairly easy: there is absolutely no moral equivalency between stealing from a local or a co-op (bad) and stealing from a parasitic corporation like Sainsbury's (good) fwiw the guys I know that work in waitrose held the same view that grazing and shoplifting was something they gave absolutely no shits about, but your experiences may vary.

A second referendum won't be happening any time soon, this is a draft bill that will be debated in the hopes of agreeing concrete conditions to pursue the referendum contingent on the Brexit negotiations and probably final single market status. So once the negotiating geniuses of May, Johnson, Fox, and Davis sort out those filthy foreigners us rambunctious Scots will rightly doff our caps and accept our place once more.

So in a somewhat surprising move, the defence secretary Corbyn appointed to replace Clive Lewis (Nia Griffiths, a unilateralist) has said Labour will continue to back Trident, as that was the decision taken by conference in 2015. A lot of people had speculated Lewis was moved specifically because he wanted to take this approach. Personally I'm glad. Hats off to Jeremy for having principles but Trident is a ridiculous hill to die on, especially now the submarines have already been ordered. The party backing renewal but in practice allowing MPs to vote with their conscience is an acceptable compromise, they just have to figure out a good line to take on Jeremy saying he would never use them. Also if Clive Lewis wasn't moved for this reason it lends credibility to the idea that he could be being groomed for future leadership.

Those worrying about ISA savings account rates should consider putting their savings in a stocks & shares ISA instead of a cash ISA. I opened one last August, and have had a return of 10% (albeit in GBP...). I have a moderate risk portfolio and it's admittedly pretty volatile (dived £1k in the first 2 weeks before slowly climbing again), but there's no reason you couldn't go for a much lower risk portfolio aiming for a 2-5% return, which is still miles better than any cash ISA out there. I did mine through rplan.co.uk - ridiculously easy and intuitive, but there's loads of others, just Google...

the Russians are just waiting for Corbyn to be prime minister then they'll do that thing from the Simpson's with the Soviet Union name plate and launch a nuclear first strike against the UK confident that that coward Jeremy won't have told the captains to fire our tiny number of warheads Then as they cackle and bask in the warm radioactive glow they will be evaporated by the US retaliation because they have a hundred times as many nukes as we do

PM doesn't set the co-ordinates, they just order retaliate, don't, use your own judgement or put the sub under the command of an ally. Probably he should just say that he stands by what he said, but there are other options available besides ordering a retaliation personally, and he should leave it at that. Seems like it should leave enough wiggle room so people can't say he made the deterrent useless.

You'd have to be a completely loving insane country to go on faith that a country with nukes won't use them just because their leader's principled. At which point it's not like the deterrent works anyway.
