To find floral tributes being left for Harry Vincent offensive

This is an attempt to intimidate the innocent family. Flowers should be removed - isn’t it littering?

I would hate to be that fence owner. Must be terrifying

stillvicarinatutu · 10/04/2018 20:38

maxthemartian · 10/04/2018 20:38

Well this is getting weirder and weirder.

Whisky, How about you step away from the thread for a bit? You're de-railing it with your over-investment in taking a pop at Vicar.

Mydoghatesthebath · 10/04/2018 20:43

I hope you don’t vicar your input is valuable

I'm surprised that the emergency services employ people who have poor grammar, comprehension & spelling skills. Surely, official paperwork, forms, and the like, have to be filled in with the highest levels of accuracy? This does surprise me.

WowLookAtYou · 10/04/2018 20:44

Congratulations, Whisky.

Haha! You've informed me the police cant do anything. I understood that the first time you said it. But you've continued on going on and on about how we cant know what goes on and youd like me to be enlightened? And why is that? Because you want validation that you are doing a good job. A lot of people in these kind of jobs do these jobs because they like being respected and entitled to respect, want authority and use authority to annoy people and from any altercation I've previously have with you this just gets sealed more and more in my mind that you are one of these police people.

SaucyJane · 10/04/2018 20:44

Margaret thatcher?
Pinochet?
Shipman?
78 not being elderly?
Someone who can hold two drinks not being vulnerable?
Everyone being racist?
Just... wtf?

What planet is Elendon on? And why isn't it further away??!

What a truly nasty comment, Miffy.

And yet, I bet you'd be the first to defend the barely literate note written by the travellers "from the children", eh?!

Tinycitrus · 10/04/2018 20:46

vicar I remember you from years ago. Seeing your username was a blast from the past Smile

Whisky2014 · 10/04/2018 20:46

I thought the same miffy!

SaltireSaltire · 10/04/2018 20:47

Can’t stand floral tributes to the dead stuck on park benches, fences, lamp posts, bridges etc etc. Hideous! Who wants proxy cemeteries popping up everywhere.
Putting hideous dead floral tributes on private property outside people windows window is offensive.gross.
I’d certainly take them down whoever they were for and whoever put them up. I would expect police support to do it too.

It’s about time setting up random distracting ‘memorials’ was outlawed as littering - end of, then the perpetrators could be arrested.

If they want to remember loved ones they can plant some live nice trees or flowers in land they own to make their areas attractive!

MagneticMan · 10/04/2018 20:47

Oh give it a fucking rest Whisky, we get your point.

The floral tributes shouldn't be opposite the victim's house, the victim being the elderly gentleman who had his house broken into. The family can leave their flowers in the road where his scabby friend left him to die instead.

I feel very sorry for the residents in that road.

Whisky2014 · 10/04/2018 20:47

Its not nasty..it is the truth

miffytherabbit1974 · 10/04/2018 20:48

@Mydoghatesthebath

Your accidental mis-spelling made me chuckle:

"The bad guy here is the scum bag bugler and his hideous family not the police..."

I have images of a bloke parping away and annoying people on his brass instrument now!

Numbkinnuts · 10/04/2018 20:48

I remember vicar too from a long time ago. Wasn't 'still' then I believe.

I think it has got too personal f on some posters and out of order.

Keep up the good work Vicar. !

Mumsnet never changes. 😕

Jesus, nasty Hmm

stillvicarinatutu · 10/04/2018 20:49

whiskey.
i joned at 37. id done menial jobs since i had ds at 19. ive dome checkout girl in morrisons, forecourt cashiier in a garage, many clerical roles in offices until i joined police aged 37. and full time mum to 2 kids one with special needs. so why dont you enlighten yourself a little eh?

Whisky2014 · 10/04/2018 20:49

I feel sorry for them too.

They could have chosen anywhere for that floral tribute, but to do it there is outrageous. They dont care, it truly is about intimidation.

Caucho · 10/04/2018 20:49

I know the law and I don’t think the police would have acted the same under different circumstances. Perhaps the owner did complain. If they did they certainly wouldn’t want it to become public given the level of intimidation going on. Maybe the guy took them down with their permission. Like I said the implied threat is so big nobody would want it coming out and the police rather than being sensible and recognising this are saying sorry can’t do anything. Then if the owner says something the police will announce to the world that the owner has complained and wants them removed putting them in danger

Tinycitrus · 10/04/2018 20:49

Well I hope you got your validation Whisky
