So someone on benefits who has been sanctioned, probably because they can't understand one of the endless forms that have to be completed, steals a pack of bacon to feed their children. So now not only will they be fined and have to pay costs, they will also have to pay a court fee, over which the magistrate has no discretion. So, still no money to feed the kids but Grayling and his ilk will be happy. Makes one want to weep.
