Thou shall not steal .... except when electriciity is involved

Having returned from South African residence in 2000, I keep in touch. This video, shows the escalation of electricity meter abstraction going on there now. In a country with an escalation of daily power cuts, caused by lack of maintenance on power stations since the government changed colour. What does the future hold there ?. How does the level compare with the UK ?.

  • And as well as ill feeling over rising energy prices, there are those who like a good riot/fight. It is several years since the last large scale riots in the UK, and some are no doubt looking forward to the next lot. I expect that sports shoes and portable electronics will be the main targets of the looters.

    And BTW, the under the old "riot damages act" the police had to compensate the owners of property "destroyed, stolen, or damaged" in a riot. This was repealed a few years ago, allegedly because a bad riot could bankrupt the police.
