Elisabeth Morgan-Rees, 29, repeatedly returned to the exclusive central London department store to gaze at the expensive item, a court heard.

woman becomes obsessed by handbag
also owns a small yappy dog and takes lots of selfies
she's a wrong 'un thats for sure, jail her

steal a bottle of water: get sent down for six months. fuck the CPS.

steal tens of thousands while expense fiddling and no jail sentence at all

it's odd how the world works isn't it

That was nearly 4 years ago.

she's a wrong 'un thats for sure, jail her

Surprised that the headline wasn't "Cyclist steals £1000 handbag..." tbh

^^ and?

Steal millions as a banker: No charges.
Steal thousands as an MP: Just pay it back.
Steal £1000 as a middle class woman: £325 fine.
Steal £3.50 as a student: Jail for 6 months.

So the punishment is inversely proportional to the severity of the crime, yes?

Seems fair.

i wonder if i'd get a grant from hm gov. if i did a bit of regicide

Actually, the fine was £265

Leaving her with plenty of cash to, you know, treat herself to a nice little handbag to get over this nasty ordeal.

So the punishment is inversely proportional to the severity of the crime, yes?

That would only be true if the banker or MP got a six month term for nicking water, which of course they wouldn't. Punishment appears entirely dependent on social standing, which is why people convicted of benefit fraud are dealt with much more harshly than those falsely claiming expenses. Gotta keep them in their place.

Best one I've heard is:

Driver: You don't pay road tax.
Cyclist: I don't pay for sex either, so I guess I win on both counts.

The road tax thing is so easily replied to these days:

"Yes I do, at the full rate for my C02 emissions. Now cock off you pig-titted ladle face."

The following article in German claims the cause of the driver's behaviour was related to his poor mental health.
