to fuming that there has been no staff at the local secondary school since 3.30pm to take a serious complaint about bullying and harrasment

[tomhardyismydh]

I walked past the house of a family who I do know but not terribly well and I am aware there middle daughter is being bullied.

outside was a group of girls looking in through their window shouting and jeering and swearing. I know the mum works some afternoons so I did intervien and tell the group of girls to leave them alone and move away from the house...in hindsight a bit silly of me as I did have my 5 yr old dd with me, but I wasn't in any way afraid forour safety or anything. Turns out the mum was home and she also then came out. They took the message and went away, but then followed me up the street shouting and swearing and berating me. It was laughable really but attempted to call non emergency police no just to show the little shits they can get away with behaving like this, but my bloody mobile died on me.

Anyway I have been trying to call the school since 3.30 and no one has been available to take my call, and have just now been told all senior management staff left at 4.15 and receptionist cant locate any other teaching staff. no one will be in over half term. now I m shocked that the head did not pick up his answer messages before leaving the school for a whole week, I had left one message at 3.30 and one at 4pm. I find it hard to even believe the head of a secondary school would even finish at 4.15.

Im tempted to call the non emergancy no again to give the message to the school this not acceptable, but Im sure this is very little the police would even be able to do.

also I want to say bunch of little bitches how horrible for a group of girls to behave like this!!!!!

Ah yes, Beesimo, yes - this enviable sounding place you've described to us before, where 'the fact is woman live peaceful only when under the protection of men, myself and the rest of my female relatives are protected by our menfolk as many women are by their men.'

Sounds great.

Sounds like a throwback to a couple of centuries ago.

I thought you were up in the Yorkshire Dales beesimo.
Having extensive experience of the towns and cities of the North West, and many of the mining areas of West Yorkshire, I don't think feral teenagers is just a problem mainly in the South. I moved south to give my children a better quality of life than the one they were experiencing.
Found it too.

'sorry there Missus'

sounds like a great place. I'll move there when I found out where it is.

'just watch your gammy mouths lads'

but I'll have to learn the lingo first and find out what 'gammy' means

Just trying to help claig.

Some of Yous are very nasty to me sister

Gammy is from gyamyath Shelta for bad/crooked

You are being right proper gammy mots

You have used a couple of interesting Irish dialect words before. I find it interesting because my own family is from three different locations and we use a lot of dialect words and phrases within the family but not outside of it.

Do you have links with the Irish traveller community as well?
What with the horses and the self-regulating community, it sounds very similar.

Thanks for the translator site, Goblinchild. That's opened up a whole new world to me, because I only know the "Jolly Well Spoken" dialect.

I never knew that gammy was from Irish or Celtic or Gaelic or whatever, but I have just remembered its use in the phrase "my gammy leg".

I had never heard of Shelta before. Just looked it up. Fascinating.

They say that the word 'bloke' comes from Shelta. Amazing.

That's teachers for you. Get a gob full of insults spat at them and they sit and analyse the language.

It's an honour to be insulted in a rare language. There are only 6000 speakers of Shelta in Ireland and only 86000 worldwide. beesimo is rare and it is great to hear that they have the old traditional values of "sorry there Missus". I think they should be the emblem of Cameron's Big Society.

'Yes down here lasses have their fall outs too but a pack off them following a woman and small child down the road would result in total shaming of their parents, the culprits would be punished serverely and the long pointing would go on for years.'

Fascinating that the whole community would shame the parents, and that is what effectively keeps the children in line.

It sounds good in theory, the mining village I was brought up in was self-regulating along similar lines.
The difficulty comes when the community decrees something unacceptable that is merely different. Then you get lads beaten for looking at the wrong lass, women battered for being too independent and undermining their men in some way, gays driven to suicide and Goths killed for being weird.
Not so good then.
And feuds that carry on down the generations.

Yes you are right, there are many disadvantages too. No society is perfect. Ours isn't either. Just read the Daily Mail today, and there is a story of a girl being beaten senseless in the street for no reason by three youths. Then there is teh assassination in Milton Keynes of the two young men, and a young woman in Bristol who stopped three hoodies beating a woman up, while police sat in their cars. Nothing is perfect, and these bullies following the OP are another example of the increasing disrespect in our society.

I'd be interested to know if any of those things happen in beesimo's community. I think it's interesting that early in this thread she castigated the other neighbours for not coming out of their houses and inflicting violence on the perceived bullies.

We live in a gammy society. We can only hope that Gove, Osborne and Cameron will be able to change it.

We may not understand or even agree with some of the values that Beesimo describes but actually I think a lot of it comes down to respect, something that I feel is sadly lacking in British Society as a whole. I live in Spain and it is hugely evident that the younger generations view the older generations with a deep respect.

To a degree I absolutely agree with and understand the view that if your children are rude arrogant little shits, then yes, the parents can be shamed for allowing it to be the case. Manners maketh the man and all that.

No way are you going to get me agreeing that mainstream politicians are good for anything but a bonfire claig.
Especially Tories.

Goblin Didn't someone else have that idea a few centuries ago?! Time to resurrect the dream

I agree with RockStock on the whole. In Beesimo's society, the whole community acts in unison and everybody knows the rules. In our society the rules have disintegrated, the community has been destroyed and the OP has nowhere to turn to when being followed by a bunch of bullies. Most passers-by turn the other cheek, no one wants to get involved. The Daily Mail article tells the story of the girl who intervened against the three hoodies, she screamed for help, while police sat in their cars. They say they weren't aware of what was going on. She had to call 999 and ask for the police to notify the occupants of the patrol car.

erm claig whilst I take your point, I tend to work on the basis that anything "reported" in the Daily Hate is 100% pure lies....

But then you would be late in finding out the truth about Climategate and the Guillen-Barre risk memos of the swine flu vaccine.

Was this untrue?
Shouldn't you have recycled that lot Mr Benn
