Shoplifting under £200 is functionally legal, so Tesco hires guards - who crucially don’t even try to stop it - and you pay for them in the price of the milk.
999 takes an hour, so you buy the Ring doorbell, gather the evidence, file the report and get a crime number for the insurance you also pay for.
Court backlogs run to years, so anyone with money settles privately and everyone else gets nothing.
Legal aid is gone. Represent yourself.

Passport and DVLA backlogs are chronic, so the state sells you a fast track service to escape the queue the state created. The trains are late whoever owns them, so you drive on the roads with the potholes. Public toilets are shut, so you buy a coffee you don’t want. The library is staffed by pensioners working for free. Street lights are switched off at midnight to save money in a country with a burglary charge rate near zero.
