Isn't it blazingly clear that we all live in a culture of impunity? The rich get away with Everything, why wouldn't everyone else instinctively try for that when they have a chance? David Cameron gets to be on holiday in Tuscany and doesn't even cut it short at first but there's no hope of ever getting a big TV, or an extra anything, for most people, unless they pay for it every month forever, so of course, take it while you can! Disheartening.
