Broken Britain

A young friend has just become a father.

Anxious that their baby was starving [and no health visitors to ask for advice on breast feeding] he went to Sainsburys to buy emergency formula. In the car park he was stopped by security and asked to show proof of purchase.

‘Why do you need to see proof of purchase?’ said my well dressed and middleclass young friend.

‘Because, sir, formula is the number one stolen item from our stores.’

Britain. . . Broken.
