Actually she made £35 on her shopping, sorry, shoplifting expedition, after paying the ludicrous compensation order which must cost fifty times its value to order and enforce.
If I were a copper (or a shopkeeper) I would be tearing my hair out. What on earth is the point of bringing someone to justice when the courts effectively look the other way? Why not just post a notice saying "help yourself - as long as its stuff that you 'need'"
The Oxford magistrates are a morally bankrupt lot. They have forgotten why we have laws. All a great big joke to them.
