Shoplifters nicked.

Anyone else noticed the lack of information in the article on the homepage?No name,address or age of the convicted nor length of sentence.It's either poor journalism or deliberate imo.Either way,not impressed.I am sure local shopkeepers have been tearing their hair out over these two for a good while,isn't it fair to name and shame them?

Sorry for posting twice.

When the names and other salient information is withheld, we all know immediately who the perpetrators are.As long as the long overdue Discussion is suppressed, and there is a refusal to acknowledge and enter into objective and unemotional debate, this will continue to get worse.

Fair and unbias reporting of the relevant facts is meat and drink to any journalist.Or anyone reporter their salt.

Or even 'any reporter worth their salt'

This site is basically run by one person, who also does the content for sister sites. In depth reporting and analysis is not a strong suit.The report reads like a Met press release printed verbatim. One of the first things that used to be taught on journalism courses is to use a press release as a starting point then speak to the relevant people to get the actual details. Maybe the perpetrators are minors and have details withheld for that reason, though the CCTV doesn’t indicate that’s the case.This sort of lazy journalism is abundant now, meaning there’s little truthful information getting into the public domain and authorities are not being held to account.

There IS undoubtedly regular and deliberate suppression of unpalatable Facts.Even the Daily Mail succumbs.Most are blissfully unaware of what is going on, but they have eyes and ears and are increasingly coming to not unreasonable conclusions.You can of course fully expect a certain Faction to De-Platform you if you have the temerity to try and have ANY dialogue on the subject.

The story reads as though plod did sone dynamic policing.They were for once, finally doing their job.Something us stupid law abiding citizens have been crying out to happens for years.Great, or is it. What’s the “ punishment “, hmm!!

I think we all know exactly what the piss poor Weak Wet Woke "punishment" will be.

The article really i quite poor..it basically reads'There has been some shoplifting in the area and 2 people have been convicted'.As there are no verifiable facts in it,it is hard to know whether it is true or not.

Don’t worry, at least they scooped a police quote from social media to reassure us that the Met is up to the job!
