- Food activists Everybody Eats are performing so-called 'Robin Hood' raids on supermarkets across England and donating stolen products to food banks. On Saturday 27th.
In their latest action, the group took trolleys filled with essentials from several supermarkets in Hastings and donated them to a food bank they claim had run out stock. The group say 1,000 people would have gone hungry had they not stepped in.
Police are aware and enquiries are ongoing.
Activists have conducted raids on over 25 supermarkets.
They have also given out stolen products on the street and put them straight into supermarket donation bins.
The group say they will continue until nobody goes hungry, while the British Retail Consortium warned them that stealing 'is not a victimless crime'.
Jeremy Vine on 5 is on television every weekday at 9:15am until 1:30pm on Channel 5.

Making record profits during a cost of living crisis… who‘s stealing from who?
The government and the central bank has been stealing from everyone for decades inflation is theft by stealth and people vote for them
A hungry person stealing food is worse than a company reaping in billions in profits during a cost of living crisis, what is this bell end woman on exactly ?
If your food bank runs out of food it's being managed wrong? Does that woman have ANY experience of real life? Jesus H, the absolute BS that comes out of some peoples mouths ..
She's clearly a stuck up middle class psychopath.
She has no clue on the real world government caused this by design people are living paycheck to paycheck they are using credit cards just to make ends meet we are getting told how strong the eccomy is and how the consumer is robust the consumer is being crushed to death this country is bankrupt we are not a wealthy country we have debt to GDP of 140 percent we are coming to the end of the fiat Ponzi scheme we have 1 percent of perchasing power left in the British pound
I myself have no idea where she is coming from
@@donnadeaville7558 she has no idea what is happening we are going to witness a global hyperinflationary depression this is by design the fiat currency Ponzi system is coming to an end the only thing that you can do is buy some silver and gold and none perishable food items and get ready for the cbdc tokenized financial system you'll own nothing and be happy 🥇 gold will make sure you have wealth going into the next system
It's not the supermarkets who loss out, it's the honest people who pay for the food, some who are struggling as well. supermarkets will just raise the prices to cover the theft.
Technically it's a crime but Tesco's shareholders won't go hungry.
Shouldn't have foodbanks in this country
So you think the poor should starve? Even Moggy says the increase in foodbanks is heartwarming.
@@Holliethedog shouldn't have foodbanks in a Rich country
One. Hundred. Percent. Correct.
So wrong food banks are needed.
Thing is, is he saying it's right at any point? He's quite clearly committing a crime, but for honourable reasons.
If he gets caught, he'll see criminal charges.
So this idea that people will copy him, most aren't brave enough.
Stealing is worse than starving children 😂 what has happened to people imagine having starving children or even adults its mind blowing its 2024 😅 its not 1800's
Starving children whose parents have got the latest smartphones and Netflix subscriptions.
She seems to think that because she has a working food bank, everywhere does and there's no problems.
Well i am a romantic, and a socialist, so i say if the government will not tackle the cost of living, yes, it is ok to take the food to feed the hungry 17 percent of the UK.
Doesn’t 70% of bagged salad get dumped in supermarkets 🤔🤔🙄
I would steal to feed my daughter simple Zara has no clue what is happening
Same old bullshit a Tory saying that he was brought up on a council estate 😂
Great guys for feeding the poor.
His activities are actually increasing food prices in supermarkets. He’s an idiot.
Congratulations to these brave men of action.
Foodbanks should be there for a few, not for 17 pc of human beings being hungry.
Let us change the political ststem to ensure that foodbanks are no longer required.
Stealing is wrong full stop and when I was a kid we went without when we didn't have the money for food or heating because we'd suffer rather than steal. I don't think most people down on their luck wants people to steal for them. Also if like me you have been in a shop that was held up by a man with a gun it is terrifying, this guy say peaceful but how long will everyone play the peaceful game? I think it is coming from a desperate place because of the world not doing enough especially these rich in power and it do break your hearts that children, elderly and people are hungry and suffering, especially when you go to supermarkets were they have let food go out of date so they can just bin it, it does make you sick as it could have gone to a food bank. So although stealing is wrong supermarkets could do better than waste food. So there will always be wrong on all sides.
Indeed, now people are stealing from billionaires to ensure the poorest can eat.
In a way, they're just reclaiming a fraction of a percent of the tax dodged.
Local food poverty and some food banks disrespect me
Moustachiod guy, aka Robin Hood of 2024, needs to be reined in before he starts breaking into the homes of anyone looking well off so as to give to the poor.
By that metric, the Tories need to be stopped before they start culling the disabled for being unprofitable.
Well made comments by the panel and callers
Defence of necessity. They are feeding people in poverty, and with those profits, they aren't exactly struggling. No violence, they are doing it for the community, and not taking advantage by stealing for themselves. I dont necessarily condone stealing, but something does need to be done.
The state of this country is sooo bad
We are a bankrupt country
It's never right to steal. I can't believe it's being defended. Saira is right. The Trussell Trust food bank is effectively a business that pays it's top earners over a million from donations, yet relies on public donations and voluntary workers. Donate to small independent food banks. If supermarkets are making too much profit then protest about that. Stealing is immoral and once you think that's okay, where does it end?
Care to quote where the top earners at the Trussell Trust are paid millions? Emma Revie, the CEO was paid £80,000 a year in 2017, her predecessor was paid just under £60,000 a year.
@@MephitisUK In 2022, the top 25 earners at the Trussell Trust earned over 1.5 million between them, I didn’t mean they were individually earning a million. (By comparison in 2021 they had 6 employees who were earning between £60,000 and £100.00). Think how much food that would buy. This can be checked online on their Annual Report and Accounts. I wouldn’t be surprised if the current top earners are earning even more now. They had an income of £60 million and £40 million of that was excess sitting on their accounts and they wanted to spend this excess money on things like research (which will mean more on wages too). So there's no need to steal from supermarkets, just need to make sure donations go to local independent food banks.
@@MephitisUK My reply to you was deleted. I'll try again with less detail this time. The 25 top earners were paid 1.5 million between them in 2022, I wasn't referring to what individuals were being paid. (By comparison in 2021 there were 6 employees who were earning between £60,000 and £100.000). This info can be found online on their Annual Report and Accounts. They also had an excess of 40 million sitting in their account which they planned to use on research etc. and not food for the hungry.
No .
Woolworths is thriving in Germany. I love shopping there when i visit. Why not the UK ?
I don’t steal, but I do get a little bit of satisfaction from putting Sainsbury’s or Aldi’s products in Tesco’s food bank box and vice versa. Just a little bit of mischief with a message to the supermarkets!
There is something wrong with ppl in uk are we really talking about food banks that should exist . This woman is crazy
Foods yellow stickers 😂😂
Adam Smith is a great ecconomist his book is a great read so is the great talking which is explaining how you'll own nothing snd be happy
😂😂😂😂 i shall not steal
We shouldn't even be talking about food banks in 2024 its a disgrace its become far too normalised
No. Next... 😏
Do you realise this actually affects the staff who are on minimum wage and supermarkets will cut hours and let staff go and not take people on.. supermarkets donate loads of food to foodbanks
No it's not. Despise the fact that people think that poverty makes it an excuse to steal.
The people stealing are thick too. They want to take credit for something they never worked for, at all.
It's just another attempt to try and look good by doing a crime. It's they don't suffer any loses these lot who steal too
I don't think food banks agree with their names being associated with theft.
Got to love how people struggling think they are entitled to steal
Shut up 😂😂
@@jasoncooper9391 nope not going to shut up
@@jasoncooper9391 can tell you dont work with that comment
@@keirmitchell5560 you know nothing about me so shut up
I have a 13 year old daughter and if I had no choice but to steal or she starves I would steal my job is make sure that doesn't happen we are turning on each other instead of finding a solution to this the only solution is to go back to an honest money system which prevents governments spending like drunken sailors the fiat Ponzi system which is backed by nothing other than the faith and credit of the issuer you call people thick and stupid and yet you come up with no valid solution shame on you
I'm not in crumpsall thanks god I am good in Stretford
Why do people steal food? It's certainly not to become a millionaire. People used to have hands chopped off for stealing. Are we really going to go down that road again?
Hang on. What happened to Luke? Helping desperate people is wrong. Her on the panel needs to check her moral compass
Stop supermarkets price gouging.
No no no
😂😂😂
Police will do nothing
Like the Tories 😂
Worcester 😂😂😂 Tories
No.
