Would you call the police...

...on your neighbours?

My neighbours are having friends around atm. They have people around often and don't care about lockdown rules. They never cared really. I am a bit jealous tbh that they are having people around having fun/ drinking, when we can't have friends around due to obvious reasons.

I think there are 6people in the house.

What would you do?

Cases have reduced because workplaces have cut down and schools have closed, shops etc closed

All legal mixing in those setting has reduced

People who mixed with family and friend illegally throughout -are still doing it

So regardless your neighbour mixing isn’t the main caus e

Fuck me - how has SAGE coped without you for so long.

You are of course talking nonsense

Nobody has said that people mixing with friends is the ' main cause' but it's nonsense to suggest that it isn't a factor

Obviously you do it and are keen to justify your choices

The virus needs people for it to spread, if you don’t understand that then you are more than a little stupid. Even if it’s “just 6”.

To all the folks who say don't report and mind your own business,

Every contact with anyone who could possibly have COVID, which is basically all of us, all the time.

It takes one person to pass to another person. If 400 people, or however many, think this does not apply to them, the virus continues to spread.

Do as you are told, it will only be for a little while longer and then we can have our lives back

Just because I mind my own business and wouldn't dream of phoning police on my neighbours does NOT mean that I don't follow the rules

As a highly vulnerable person with multiple highly vulnerable family waiting on vaccinations and having stayed home nearly constantly since February last year then I would report!!!

I'm tired, lonely and fed up of being a prisoner paying rent etc for the sodding luxury. I just want a cup of coffee in a little coffee ffs, selfish people throughout this thread.

Are you out of your mind OP? And anyone else who would actually report a neighbour. Seriously this pandemic has made people go crazy

I would report. We are all making sacrifices right now. I have not seen my parents as my mother has cancer and I’m petrified of passing anything onto her. I have not seen my nephew since he was born in June. I spent Christmas Day alone. So all you people that are saying don’t be nosey, don’t report them are just as bad!

My neighbours (students) have had house parties most nights this week. I have been tempted to call the police just to get them to shut the fuck up but I haven't and I certainly wouldn't for covid reasons, if they want to break the rules that's up to them and they'll do it regardless.

Nope. The only call we have made was when a group of kids were using a very elderly neighbours garden to gain access to an empty football pitch. We called because he was getting upset and they were endangering his life every time he had to deal with them.

If all it's doing is irritating you then it's not worth it! Get on with your own life!

Someone wrote 'I'd report them. This is a deadly virus, by mixing they are potentially going to cause a spike in your local area, which is endangering lives, including yours if you use the same local amenities'

Flu is a deadly virus.
Viral pneumonia is a deadly virus.
Respiratory syncytial virus is a deadly virus.

We have always lived with deadly viruses that spike this time of year.

Did it ever cause us to watch and judge our neighbours? What is happening to us?

No, but then I do have a life, unlike so many sad fuckers on here.

I would without a moments hesitation. These are the people keeping the virus spreading. Some of them may work with the vulnerable, some of them will be facilitating the spreading. I am sick to death of the stupid and the selfish ensuring this drags on longer for the rest of us.

I wouldn’t do a thing. Up until now I haven’t broken the rules but my god I’ve wanted to more than once. If people are brave enough to meet up risking a potential fine then that’s their business. I’m all for letting people be happy considering how miserable life has been.

We don't have public health crises caused by those other viruses, so they are all false comparisons.

There is a law, people are breaking it.

Do people still not realise the legal framework?

Personally I think I wouldn't report but I'm not pretending covid/legal framework in 2021 is unchanged from flu/legal framework 2019

@Dowser ooo glad I'm not your neighbour 😂

I knew they'd be Clappers.

Bastards. I've changed my mind and you should report them.[/quote]
They finished late too...at around midnight ...I'm such a coward. 😕

When I speak out on social media about lockdown i get blamed with people saying "it's people like you not following the rules we are in this mess" even though I do follow them.

I don't get why people are so obsessed with what their neighbours are up to, find a hobby.

The selfishness of others never ceases to amaze me. I would have reported them without hesitation. We're in a national lockdown. I can't believe how many people are saying to ignore. It's a very serious matter.

That's the problem, I can't do anything about my hobby as we are in lockdown and I'm not an indoors person. Don't like colouring .. knitting etc 😐

Well read a book, obsessing over neighbours is creepy.

@XenoBitch

Nothing. If you report them, you still have to live next to them with that on your conscious.

They should have it on their conscience not op.

I probably wouldn’t report unless it was an egregious breach (big party).

But thousands upon thousands of households “just inviting a couple of friends over” is contributing to keeping us in lockdown longer. Lots of trivial breaches add up.
