not quite. He was hung for being a french spy.

The fact that the monkey was neither french nor a spy and in fact was just a monkey highlights the effects of having a nuclear power station on your doorstep with chemical works nearby...

The owner of iceland is trying to find out.... He claims to have not been aware of the prosecution prior to it hitting the papers but pointed out that the food would not be edible as otherwise it would have been disposed of elsewhere...

Let's face it the food they sell inside the store is barely edible so it would take a brave man or a fool to consume the stuff that even the store deemed as not fit for consumption!

Oh and I guess it makes sense to try and curtail this behaviour by prosecuting them, the food is being thrown away for a reason, we don't need people liberating it and potentially selling it on...

It was moderately silly to hang someone for stealing a handkerchief, but they still did it.

Why is someone being prosecuted for taking food from a bin? OK, obviously, because there's a law against it, but come on, the stuff has been thrown away anyway.

Is this because garbage collection is now a business, perhaps paid for by the kilo and so theoretically this takes revenue from the garbage collector?

Nah, they are web designers. Think trendy, bearded, spectacle wearing hipsters doing the freecycle / freegan think cos "it's more ethical man". They probably think going through the bins at Iceland is "Ironic".

Even so I think it's silly to prosecute them for this.
