In other words, if you see someone stealing food.

NO YOU DID NOT.

For us filthy yanks, the equivalent of the Church of England in the US is called the Episcopalian Church, and I think they're pretty alright over here as well. They were one church that said yes when I was looking to marry my husband.

- I didn't realize that the Episcopalians were affiliated with the Anglicans. TIL.

They stole from you first, and the bible don't say nothin about stealing it back

  Bible also says if a man lay with a man as he would a woman, that he should be put to death. So maybe we just kind of decide on our own morals instead. I agree with you regardless of the text though in that an eye for an eye can sometimes be justified

The head of the Church of England is a billionaire king, does the church thinks it's okay if the British homeless squat one of the king's properties.

- That priest just might. CoE has always had a fun mix of voices, they’re not good at following a party line (which imo is the best thing about them).

The church of England is a little late to the liberation theology party, hope it catches on over there

It's interesting that's coming from Deseret News, which is a publication owned by the Mormon church

If you scale this up, it's how you get food deserts serviced only by dollar stores like family dollar, meaning no fresh produce.

I say this as someone who's had pharmacies near me close due to overwhelming theft.

Don't go overboard, or your community will suffer.

- Steal from bad stores to make them leave, buy from good stores to make them stay

  Funny you say that, we've had an abandoned Walmart for a while now, nobody is moving in except maybe the crackheads.

  I appreciate the (paywalled) link, however I know for a fact that the closed pharmacies are in bad parts of town where theft is in fact rampant.
  
  If you think you can, as a society, encourage stealing from a grocery store and expect them to stay open, more power to you. I hope your community doesn't become a food desert, because that's a part of a downward poverty spiral.

Who gives a damn 'bout the profits of Tesco!

He's in good tradition with cardinal Frings, bishop of Essen, Germany, 1942–1969.
