To report neighbour’s having a party?

[WilsonMilson]

I’m currently waiting for Covid test results for my child who is off school with what I hope is a bad cold, but also had a high fever for 2 days so required testing. We are obviously isolating because of that.

Meanwhile, a neighbour along the street is currently having a party this afternoon. A bouncy castle has been put up and there are around 10 cars sitting outside, so goodness knows how many people are there, must be at least 20.

Current restrictions here limit to 6 people. And yet my neighbour clearly couldn’t give a fuck, and as a result we may all suffer by spreading and continuing this endless misery.

I don’t want to be a killjoy, but I feel like reporting it, and yet I don’t want to be ‘that’ person, it’s bad enough we can’t live a normal life at the moment without adding more grief. What would you do?

YABU - don’t report, we are becoming a police state, live and let live etc etc
YANBU - neighbour is a dick, report away.

We had this Saturday night. I went over and pulled the main fuse from the external electric meter. No power, no party. They came round yesterday and asked if I knew anything but I said no so they left baffled. They still have no power as elec company has yet to attend.

For those saying you wouldn’t report this, would you report a neighbour drink driving for example?

Why, thank you!

People should report their neighbours for any suspected breaches of new "rule of six" limits on social gatherings, the crime minister has said

YABVU. We know where this ends, and it's not pretty. The Stasi would have loved some of the people on this thread.

@ineedaholidaynow, no I wouldn't. I have been brought up and have brought DS up to look the other way and not get involved 99% of the time. I personally would only report violence and only then if it was clear there was a mismatch. I'd never dream of reporting two men about the same age and build for a fist fight in the street for example, even if (as where we live) it is next to a nursery school. I would report if in that case if one of them had a weapon like a knife. And I wouldn't be impressed at all if I knew for a fact someone had reported somebody else for shoplifting.
