Welcome to tory Brittan. Where they lie about inflation, crime figures and how they have processed all the illegal immigrants. The only truth Tories know is that lying can be very profitable. Just look at Baroness Mone.
Never trust a Tory, they protect the crims.
Everything will be happy and rosey when Labour take over, LoL..
Spot on Jo. Can’t wait. Literally.
Sir, this is a Spar.
Yet another labour lap dog who has no opinion of their own and just spouts labour party dogma, look at all the labour councils who are billions in debt , several of which had to be taken over by independent civil servants , vote labour vote bankcrupcy
Yet usually those who commit these crimes are actually Labour voters.
My only shock is that Nino wasn’t involved!
Have they found him yet?
Leave Nino out off it he’s a good lad
The Tories are one of the worst governments in the last 100 years, they’ve ruined most of G.B and will kill off the NHS if they are re-elected, but the scum that robbed this little shop are responsible for their actions and I hope they get several years in jail if convicted, if you are saying these scumbags were immigrants, illegal or not, then deport them back to their country of origin the day they finish their prison sentences.
total scum go and get a job like everyone else .Its hard to make a living for the shop owners already
Well it’s Ventnor…give them their fags…
im not at all in favour of stealing At all chop their hands off,
on the flip side of this incident people are being pushed to the limit financially and unfortunately this will happen to survive .
its got really hard now with worse to come .
And yes tories OUT
Are you serious saying these people were driven to this serious crime by Tory mismanagement and only stole to survive and will become model taxpayers when Labour takes over, Molly? Right, got that, thanks.
These scumbags are Labour voters, Labour voters are entitled without working for a living…..And they’re all fat people..
They stole tobacco and cigarrettes. Surely this is not required in order to survive?
I’m more concerned why a 33 year old male and a 28year old female would be hanging out with a 16 year old
Um, related, perhaps?
Roam around like a pack of hyenas nothing to do with politics
They are Labour voters that are fat, Lazy and on benefits…
