Make it a criminal offence to sell vital items that people bought in panic buys
It should be made a criminal offence for these people to prey on people in desperation. Some scum are using Facebook to sell hand sanitiser for £12 a tube and £40 for baby formula milk. It is preying on those in need and making a profit from a pandemic.
The government should reprimand those who want to target those in need for their own financial gain. The shops are running out of stock and people are suffering because some thoughtless selfish people have stockpiled to gain over others. It is not entrepreneurial it is disgusting. The government needs to reprimand these people. A fine should be imposed or a law put in place to stop individuals profiting from desperation.
