    The Spin

    Left narrative

    This burglary, while unprecedentedly epic in nature, underscores a stark economic divide. In a city where wealth disparity is palpable, such high-value crimes reflect not just greed but also systemic failures regarding the haves — such as those who live in Primrose Hill — and the have-nots. When basic needs become unaffordable for many, the desperation can lead to crime, highlighting the urgent need for equitable economic policies.

    Right narrative

    The entire culture of London has been destroyed by liberal policies, fueling a sharp rise in crime, particularly thefts. While a heist like this is irregular, the decriminalization of low-value thefts has normalized shoplifting, leading to a record number of robberies this year. With the vast majority of offenders going uncharged, coupled with the £200 shoplifting threshold and reduced police responses, average Londoners, not millionaires, make up most of the victims
