There is a Catholic theology that implied the destitute had a right to steal stems from St. Thomas Aquinas's interpretation of the universal destination of the world's goods which are intended for the benefit of all people, a principle more fundamental than the right to private property

The Headline smear, what Polanski actually said.

Mr Polanski, 42, said he too would 'consider shoplifting' if he also had no other option to earn money or obtain food.

Zack Polanski said people who steal because they do not have much money should be shown compassion

Everything he's reported to have said in this BBC piece sounds like he's desperately trying to distance himself, knowing that the connection is real and toxic. If the press were investigating Farage with the same enthusiasm they went for Rayner, he'd be done for.

Trump seeks a ‘hegemonic peace’ favoring Israel and the US, rather than a balanced resolution. Marwan Bishara warns that the plan remains vague and unenforceable, making lasting peace unlikely beyond a temporary ceasefire.

"Nearly 25yrs after the Pentagon awarded Lockheed Martin the contract to develop the Joint Strike Fighter Program into the F-35, the gov't finally admitted the jet will never live up to Lockheed’s ambitious promises — used to sell the $2 trillion boondoggle to nearly 20 countries around the world."
