Juggling With EggsWill historians look back and wonder why the police focused their efforts on Quaker Meeting Houses and never Tufton Street or the private clubs of Mayfair?

I wonder why the BBC decided to call it "arrested for wanting to redistribute goods" rather than "arrested for wanting to redistribute food"

It’s intriguing because to any British person reading the BBC piece it’s immediately obvious that it’s the story of Robin Hood they’re trying not to tell. Replacing ‘food’ with ‘goods’ was the tweak that made the story palatable and sexed up enough for Robbie Gibb and Number 10…stating the Met had arrested people for considering the concept of stealing a loaf of bread to give it to someone on the breadline would have risked public sympathy. ‘Goods’ is vague.
