Should I report these students?

[OhBrar]

There's two massive student parties going on on the street next to me - music, lights, booze, noise etc. I'm not massively anti student but they do make living here more expensive and when they all came back our infection rate went through the roof while they were all whining about their freedoms and infecting the rest of us going to necessary work.

I've never grassed anyone up before but students as a cohort have not been good for our town in lockdown. Wibu to tip the police off?

[Kinneddar]

Do you not think the Police have bigger things to worry about ie catching Rapists Paedophiles and Murderers ect ect

Yes but the cops who are sent to deal with a report like this are Response cops who deal with ongoing incidents. Theyre not the ones hunting murderers, rapists & paedophiles so its not actually going to impact those types of crimes

[Beentherefonethat]

I would not have been bothered about this at all.

[OffredOfjune]

A bollocking will be the least of their worries. They'll probably be looking at a hefty fine.

Doubt it. I know of someone who went to a student party, 30+ plus people there. Police just told them to leave. No fines, nothing. Uni never even found out.

[PhilCornwall1]

Its hardly the Crime of the Century is it.

What???? Didn't you know nothing but covid matters anymore?

I'm surprised more posters aren't calling for them to be publicly flogged and then executed to make an example of them.

[MummmyDayCareNameChangeAGAIN]

Its hard not to blame the students when they are the ones partying... seriously people are you all dumb!!

Op you did the right thing..

[Mydogisagentleman]

My DD is at university.
She and her floor of 20 were fined last week.
Hopefully it will make her think twice about having another party.

@PhilCornwall1
Well said.
Covid has been a godsend for spiteful busybodies.

[Igotthemheavyboobs]

Let's hope none of you break any covid rules at Christmas if we are still in a lockdown.

[LastGoldenDaysOfSummer]

Still the Covidiots minimise. No wonder we had a second wave.

[SweetLathyrus]

Most Universities have put in place additional disciplinary procedures for students breaking lockdown rules, in an attempt to protect communities, but if no one reports the transgressions, the Universities can't act.

[OverTheRainbow88]

I hope they get fined, and a warning from uni.

Like you OP, our area was ok until 2 uni full of students came- parties etc now we are likely to go into tier 3

[SaskiaRembrandt]

I wouldn't like to live in a student area - so I don't. It's harder on them than it is on the rest of us.

No, no it isn't harder on them. There are a minority of students who are behaving like selfish assbutts, the rest are struggling through the same as everyone else.

I wouldn't have given a flying fuck, personally, but crack on with your curtain twitching.

@FromThe70s

The more of them that catch covid the better so they will get immunity

No, this is not how it works. Also, please read up on long covid. GP here, FWIW.

Thankyou!

Sad that people would still rather believe some knobhead off Facebook or YouTube than people who are working in this, day in day out, but hopefully little by little people will really that this isn't chicken pox

Bully for you 🙄

[GreyishDays]

@Awwlookatmybabyspider

I wouldn't report them personally. I've had my younger years (as have you lot) Its hardly the Crime of the Century is it. Do you not think the Police have bigger things to worry about ie catching Rapists Paedophiles and Murderers ect ect.

When you phone 101 or 999 you give them a bit of background, so that can decide if they have the resources.
(Also on mumsnet you get taken more seriously if you spell ‘etc’ properly. It’s from the Latin et cetera which is why it’s ‘etc’. I mean that kindly.)

[LolaSmiles]

I wouldn't report students having a friend over, but a massive party would definitely be a report from me.

Why should my DC have not seen their family in almost 9 months so a bunch of young adults can get drunk?

[borntohula]

Let us know how severe the punishment was. 😂

Exactly. Common sense.

They have bubbles. Few people per bubble. Reporting few people would therefore be not ok (even in non student situation imho). But a big party at the time of preparations for mass student movements is irresponsible, dangerous and shitty thing to do

I agree - also students seem to be taking the flak for absolutely everything to do with covid.
