A question of priorities
Submitted by Anonymous on Sun, 2010-06-06 13:43."If they had been real, the pile would have been worth £500,000....boxes of fake Chloe handbags that would be worth £850 each if they were real...Tourists still buy fake goods in Camden Town, which you can’t understand"
Err...guess what. They are not real. And everybody knows it. No victims here. Stop quoting completely meaningless and made up figures. All this does is fill space and treat your readers like idiots. People buy fake bags for fun. Who cares if some overpriced French patent holders have got the hump? The original products are evidently not worth the stupid prices the luxury brand corporates charge for them anyway.
"they go back home thinking bad of Camden Town as a place"
Yes but not because of fake bags. Camden Town is a dump because it's full of violent white yobs from the local council estates and gangs of violent black drug dealers from outside the area. The authorities would be better served concentrating on these problems than pursuing victimless crimes like the sale of knock off bags. Get your priorities right for once.
