Let's not dress-up things from 70 years ago. When things are scarce, people go robbing. That's how the poor survive Exactly. There was a reason they had government enforced rationing back then to stop the greedy bar stewards. They also had spivs who were hated by the decent folk. There is a tendency to look through rose tinted glasses at that era and mostly it was true people did pull together but it was backed by rationing. There was also plenty of theft it just wasn't reported in the press as bad for morale. Edited by Badger11 (20 Mar 2020 8.52pm) One more point

There was also plenty of theft it just wasn't reported as bad for morale. There is a difference. The bombs and need for metals and supplies along with bomb raids but at least you got a loud warning most of the time. This is not an optional stay in doors. This is different as its invisible. I sort of get the fear factor and hoarding as two weeks indoors will need a lot of food and supplies. Say 2 or 3 kids. Imagine that, 2 weeks,14 days with no going out at all. People will be arrested if found out when shouldn't be. This has a long way to go I think. It will get worse before it gets better I fear. I dont want to judge tbh as luckily I havent had to do it. My brother on law is 6 days in and I'm dropping milk on his doorstep tommorrow. All I can do I'm afraid but little is somewhat the best I want to do.
