My neighbour had her house egged and floured last night for reporting a party to the police

[Pumkinrumpkin]

Deary me.

Birthday party

Police turned up kicked them out. They then went round and egged and floured the neighbours house who they suspected of calling the police. Egged neighbour then back to party house and kicked off.

I just love the drama Mick!

It does really depend on the size of the party. 7 or 8 friends having a drink, fair enough. But if it was a massive house party with 10s of visitors then that’s not on.

If Saint Boris the Bellend expects his taxpayers to become unpaid informants for his Stasi regime (while pretending it's not his own regime, and he's Mr Nice who doesn't want lockdown), he can start by sacking his fellow bellend rule-breaker Dominic Cummings.

As the this "mind-blowing selfishness" of people breaking the roolz (which were probably chosen by picking them out of a hat) - how about the mind-blowing dishonesty of Saint Boris the clown and his merry men, who have been lying and gaslighting left, right and centre, and being extremely selective with the scientific information they give us? Saint Boris is constantly trying to distract us from the failings of his own government, by encouraging us to spy on each other, deflection is about the only thing he's capable of doing. He can show some backbone, honesty and moral integrity himself before he expects us to start dobbing each other in.

You are completely right about all this, but it doesn't change the fact that we will all suffer if we don't control the virus ☹️ I don't know what the answer is☹️

The party house people sound like total scum, can't stand those who think it's justified to turn to damaging someone elses property. Really hope the neighbour whom's home got egged is friends with some worse scum that loves to teach the egg throwers a lesson

Its threads like this that make me love my neighbours and hope they never move.
In my old place I wouldn't of phoned the police for anything because I liked having glass in my windows.
So for your own safety you had to turn a blind eye and keep of the good side of the wrong uns.
It's a very sad society where the ones in the wrong are basically allowed to get away with bullying someone for calling out what they're doing is illegal.

It could have been a passer by who reported the party could have been anyone

I have a awful neighbour (loud music all day long, leaving mess in the street, swearing and screaming in the street, the kids who have no respect for anyone, kids left home alone for most of the day quite regularly and a lot more to boot, she often has fall outs with our neighbours over her behaviour, quite recently they been reported to rspca for their cruelty of their dog and had a huge row with the neighbours who reported them) I’ve minded my own business for years as fully expected the fallout I would encounter as other neighbours do whenever they say anything to them, but a few weeks back one of their children was sent home from school with symptoms, parent shouted to her child at door I’ll have to make you an appointment to get you a test and then come back out and cleaned car were child had sat and door handle etc, they have another child who attends a different school where my children attend, she never picked up the other child from school that day and later left in the night for her regular bingo, next day she took other child to school and went to work with venerable people, I phoned the school to report that the child had a sibling off school with symptoms, well the backlash I had from said neighbour when she returned that day with the other child for phoning school, she must of worked out it was me as I was only one in street when child come home with symptoms, well the language used and words she used to refer to me, screaming in the street when she pulled up in car, screaming about how she hates some people, I replied yes it was me who phoned the school, she then had both children out the front with her while she made phone calls to people to rant about me and had the child with symptoms on another phone trying to book a test somewhere, she ranted all day but in the evening still went out somewhere and continued to do so the whole time leaving kids home alone, the father continued to travel away for work out of our area, she went on for a couple of weeks her ranting about me to anyone who would listen and calling me all the names going was like listening to a teenager with no respect throwing fits because they didn’t like something, she still has people in her house despite local lockdown and breaks all the rules and still works with venerable people, I wouldn’t bother reporting her behaviour though again as it obviously had no effect just made her worse if you ask me having the child with symptoms outside in street and to be honest If I did I’d be reporting her daily, what’s the point when they continue the behaviour anyways, her performance because she had to fetch her child back from school wouldn’t stop me though as I fully expected it, it’s more it does nothing to stop her anyways, it does still bother me that because of people with her attitude and selfishness its most likely the reason we are still in local lockdown and that she actually works with the venerable just saddens me

Wow. No full stop in any of that!!!

@Sarahsah4r4 My answer is: we need to learn to live with the virus. It's not going away: Boris's original plan to try to eradicate the virus proved that. It's not the only thing that causes death, yet we're treating it as if it is. Life itself has a 100% mortality rate. What is the point of making life so utterly miserable for ourselves, when we're all going to die anyway? Saint Boris and the lockdown zealots can't fool people for ever with "it's temporary, it won't be forever". A vaccine may never happen, and may only provide limited protection. Sooner or later, we will just have to try to take our chances with the virus.

At the moment, such an approach is politically unacceptable; it seems preferable to destroy everything else instead, while we are reduced to merely existing. We can only hope that governments are playing for time until the numbers get low enough for them to say "wahey, we have defeated the virus", when actually, they haven't. It's gaslighting and lying through and through; the government lost the moral high ground long ago. They need to grow a backbone, admit lockdown was a costly mistake which they have condemned us to paying for for decades to come, and start planning to live alongside the virus. And they need to stop LYING about everything.

I hate snitches and curtain twitchers. I don't agree with the egging and throwing flour at someone's property but just mind your own business fgs. I'm in a tier 2 region and I've come across friends on social media and actually walked into one the other day mixing with other households in restaurants. I don't care what they do. It's their own risk which they take. I take precautions and protect myself and if they don't, they are the ones that are going to suffer not me. Again, I protect myself and take precautions and touch wood, I haven't had sniffles since last December which is unusual as I get ill once every 3-4 months but that was because I worked in a large office where people would bring all sorts germs and god knows when they last cleaned the air con filters but since wfh and taking measures to protect myself, I haven't caught it.

@Waxonwaxoff0

It's not OK to do that to someone's property. But this is why you mind your own business. Who wants the hassle over a party?

So you decide you don'w want the hassle over a party. Neighbour catches covid from a guest, goes out to the local shops and spreads it round the neighbourhood, several more people catch it and spread it, locality goes up to tier one and everyone is in lockdown, you and your family catch it and become seriously ill. Still don't want the hassle?

God almighty, some of the attitudes on this thread.

@fantab missing the point or what.

@MoonJelly the odds of me and my family becoming extremely ill are tiny. I'm not scared of Covid. It's a virus.

@MoonJelly the odds of me and my family becoming extremely ill are tiny. I'm not scared of Covid. It's a virus.

It's not about you and your family only. The virus has affected all walks of society and economy, you and your family will be affected ny it, whether you get ill or not.

I'm not scared of Covid. It's a virus.

Jesus Christ. I'll tell that to my friend who's partner spent five weeks in a coma before dying, should I?

@TerribleCustomerCervix

The “snitches get stitches” isn’t a childish untruth ffs.

There’s parts of where I live that it would be absolutely not worth your while reporting a neighbour for even fairly serious crimes, never mind a lockdown infraction.

You might be on the moral high ground of being in the right, but when your tyres got slashed/garden wall graffitied/ dog shit put through your letterbox, it’s not worth it.

It’s all well and good when you know the worst your own neighbours are likely to give you is a dirty look when you next see them in Sainsbury’s, but for a lot of people it’s a real risk reporting anyone to the authorities.

Absolutely. Some people have never lived anywhere near this. Where I grew up they'd put all your windows through for the slightest issue. We had ours done more than once.

It shouldn't be that way but in certain areas it absolutely is like that and great for those who have never experienced it but to deny other people's reality is not ok.

If I still lived where I grew up they could have the entire estate crammed in one house licking each other and I still wouldn't report it because I like the current arrangement of my face.

@ChardonnaysPetDragon I'm aware of that. My job isn't secure. I'm past caring though to be honest.

@iklboo that is very tragic. But also very rare. I go with the statistics when risk assessing.

Sooner or later, we will just have to try to take our chances with the virus

I take it you’re out in the community mixing with others then? Go catch it.

Don’t come crying when members of your family become ill.

The attitude on this thread shows why this virus is still spreading because you don’t give a damn about people or jobs.

Meh, they shouldn’t be calling the police on people. meh, the party goers shouldn’t expect sympathy when they catch COVID.

Back in the beginning of lockdown there was an idiot in the news (who had a COVID party. You know, like Chicken pox parties,but to see who could be the first to catch COVID. He caught COVID and is now dead.

Not sure if I would call the police,although it depends on the number of people at the party. If it was say fifteen plus then possibly, as it’s antisocial regardless of COVID.

But I take the view that while I’m not breaking the rules I am far less likely to catch COVID, but if people deliberately break the rules then they will be the ones who catch it, and if they do then I don’t have a whole lot of sympathy for them, only for the innocent people they put at risk.

But if someone does what the hell they like and ends up with COVID then it serves them right.

My issue with this is that we have no way of knowing if the neighbour in question actually did call the police and I doubt the party goers knew for sure, despite what they probably thought they knew What if it was a different neighbour who called visiting a neighbour?

Hmmmm. OP not back? 🤔

Hand grenade & run post, maybe? Get us all at each other while they sit back & smirk.

So this is why there was a shortage of flour and eggs in the supermarket

They shouldn't have egged the house thats pathetic. But was the party against the law? Were there definitely more than 6 etc? We had a 'party' last night, but there were only 6 of us.

I personally couldn't get wound up enough to report anyone

Having lived on a hell hole estate, I find just ignoring what everyone else does is best for your own safety. The police don't need the work, said people will sooner or later drop themselves in a bigger hole, leave them to get on with it.

fucking love all the Kray's associates turning up on this thread

Maybe she'll get a life now instead of being a grass 😂😂😂
