Original Note:
Shoplifting is not soaring in the UK. It is going down. https://novaramedia.com/2023/10/31/there-is-zero-evidence-of-a-shoplifting-epidemic/ What Cooper calls the 'shoplifters' charter' was introduced in 2014 so would not explain a recent surge in shoplifting, even if there were one. https://news.sky.com/story/labour-blames-shoplifters-charter-for-surge-in-retail-crime-13118957
