Edukator - if you truly think collaborating with fascists (where that person would most likely be taken out and shot) is akin to letting the UK know about some possible drug dealing, then you really have no moral compass.
Being a dick on the internet doesn't make you a troll. It makes you a dick.
I can’t say I enjoyed pulling the bucket seives out of the drains in the abattoir or industrial cleaning or sampling raw sewage
What did the neighbours think?
What a moronic comparison.
OP - thought about contacting the TV people? Won't get it resolved but it'll entertain some old folks/unemployed/shift workers/people off sick for an hour.
Sensible dealers are low profile and usually quite decent neighbours. Bell end variety contact landlord continuously for eviction. Get a cheap PAYG mobile and call police to report guy threatening woman with knife at property, man with gun stood in doorway, underage abuse, Hit some police triggers and get them round all the time. Or get some bigger more unofficial people to do on the spot eviction. Don’t be polite or wait for officialdom to sensibly sort out twerps upsetting your life.

So I get character assassinated for suggesting live and let live. Lets see how suggesting lies, false witness statements and assault goes down with the STW Internet vigilantes. Approval I suspect.

That's a pretty spectacular over reaction. Did you once fill abattoir buckets?
So let me get this straight, if you dare to disagree with the majority, you’re a troll and a dick?
Right....
I saw a film about a drug dealer once.
A bath, piece of rope, shower curtain and a chainsaw seemed to sort it.
Overreaction? The threads about normal life being disrupted by low level dealing and social issues which have a major impact on how you live your life. Police cutbacks mean highly unlikely they will respond unless “triggers” are recorded. Frequent visits likely to lead to arrest or moving on as too much hassle. Job done. Handwringing and ineffectual complaining can resume.
LOL at SBOB
“So let me get this straight, if you dare to disagree with the majority, you’re a troll and a dick?

No, but if you advocate ignoring potentially serious criminal activity then maybe yes.
It’s that kind of attitude that led to your country being so easily occupied.
I think the problem for France was that they had some VERY anti-social neighbours in 1939.
Was Edukator classed as a troll once?
Surely trolls aren't meant to be crushingly obvious???
toss in a hand grenade, then go grab some tinnies and chillax
No, but if you advocate ignoring potentially serious criminal activity then maybe yes.
So murder, rape, kidnap? Nope, sorry, wrong thread, just antisocial behaviour potentially dealing in one or more arbitrarily illicit substances. Hardly crime of the century is it? Which is why presumably plod has decided other issues have higher priority.

And possibly prostitution but at least it's not as bad as working in abbatoir.

Tell me about it; I'm Polish/Dutch!
Isn't prostitution vaguely legal? As in, it's not illegal provided there's some easily avoided bits?

Did you get your bike back?
Both drug dealing and some activities associated with prostitution (pimping for example) can carry custodial sentences.
Seems fairly serious to me.

No.
That comment was almost as stupid as yours.
Not quite as stupid, but.....You know.... pretty close.
And possibly prostitution
A profession that’s legal in many jurisdictions, and not completely illegal in and of itself in the UK

A profession that’s legal in many jurisdictions
So what ? Does the OP live in any of those places ?
and not completely illegal in and of itself in the UK
so... it’s illegal then ?
So what ?
Given were here arguing the toss over the seriousness or not of the alleged misdemeanours, the fact that it’s perfectly legal in many countries considered comparable to the UK is quite relevant.
Ditto drugs, actually.
So you think those working in the sex trade are all doing it legally and not against their will?

See “America and Guns” for a good reason why this argument never really gets past the first level of scrutiny.
Legalised drug dealing is different kettle of fish tbh and not directly comparable.
Actually, being a ho is currently perfectly legal in the UK

Ask yourself this: WWOD?

Compare the reactions on this thread with those on the Kyton's "there's a garage business being run opposite" thread.
Prositution is legal in the UK except NI. There are a few conditions which it appears are being respected in this case if indeed the good lady is a prostitute.
In this case the OPs neighbours claim just one woman (the owner of a green car) is providing services. Difficult to claim it's a brothel then
There is no pimping reported.
The police have visited 7 times and gone away again.

Running a brothel or soliciting isn't.

😂 That's the best you can come up with.

I'd rather hope they did. Go away again, I mean.

What's the minimum number?
2, I think

I was thinking more The Netherlands / Portugal
Look, I get that the op thinks it’s pretty undesirable, and it’s also correct to point out that in countries where (some) drugs are legal they’re tightly regulated and thus not dealt from middle England suburbia, but given that the police have been multiple times, perhaps they think there’s not much they can or need to do. I’m not sure how risking prosecution for wasting police time by doing just that and fabricating the presence of dangerous weapons helps.

Only one fool has suggested such action.
Anyway should allow bike thieves to live and let live?
Always impressed by people who could carry on with their relaxed lives no matter what was going on in their street, at the end of their driveway. I know I couldn't, so you cool guys really are my heroes.
How’s The Portuguese thing gone btw? genuine question as I had read it’d not gone as well as had originally been hoped.
Ignore the alleged prostitution and drug dealing, having chavs with car stereos at full blast and horns hooting is totally unacceptable and no one suggesting people should live and let live would put up with that outside their home.
I'd be having one polite word then going straight to a spade through the rear windscreen.
Only one fool has suggested such action.
Two with this from page one:
Have you seen any guns or knives?
That’ll get the armed plod round, which is always a barrel of laughs
Along with suggestions to claim having seen the sale of drugs to police, etc. Read back Drac, there are several members suggesting making false statement to the police.
Edit: and in the time it took me to post that Sbob gets in with suggesting criminal damage to a car.
Hardly crime of the century is it?
Perhaps not, but please don't pretend that you'd like it if they were your neighbours.
@Edukator I have a vintage French rifle for sale: never fired, dropped once.
Someone get Edukator an eighth.
