While Americans freak out over growing inflation, the Brits have taken charge over the "cozzie livs" (cost of living crisis).


Yesterday, dozens of British youths causes a ruckus on Oxford Street in London due to an alleged “viral Snapchat.” The screenshot (acquired by the Daily Mail) that was passed around allegedly encouraged teens to rob JD Sports in Oxford at noon. The result was a large meeting of teens, police officers, and horses carrying police officers.



The videos, like last week's Kai Cenat riot, show teens running around the street, jumping on cars, and climbing up road fixtures.

Some videos are full of mayhem and some just look like a bunch of lost kids hanging about.

“Nothing. Nothing has been happening for about 45 minutes,” one reporter for GB News stoically responded after being asked what occurred. Stores had extra police officers guarding the entrances, ready to pounce on a dumb kid listening to a Snapchat screenshot.

Looking into the TikTok and Snapchat screenshots, a similar mass shoplifting effort was planned in 2019. Allegedly, JD sports stores all over London were experiencing these social media frenzy robberies.



It’s nice to know internet hoax copypastas have made their way across the pond.
