17 sweet reactions to news of the man who stole 144 chocolate bars
The BBC reports that a man who had recently served time in prison for theft was caught stealing several items from a supermarket, including 144 bars of chocolate.
A lot of people questioned whether the incident warranted a slot on a national news site – when other things might have arguably taken priority.
The BBC reports 144 chocolate bars stolen about £30 worth but not Michelle Mone or Matt Hancock’s crimes or that everything the Government says is lies.
But 144 chocolate bars…
