Would You Spy on Your Neighbour's Breaking the 6 Person Rule

If they going to pay me of course I would with the amount in my street and area doing it

Wouldn't spy ,count etc . But if they are obviously taking the mick - then yes I would . A quiet word -then if it carried on I would have no problem with reporting them .

We only have two families of absolute idiots in our cul-de-sac and I'd report them in an instant. They continuously broke the law during lockdown having BBQs and garden parties and it really got on my moobs.

I wouldn't actively spy on my neighbours, but if I saw them breaking the rules, I think I would report them. More action needs to be taken against the people that are flouting the rules.

I don't pay enough attention to my neighbours to notice visitors tbh. No, I wouldn't tho, if I did notice. I think the Police are stretched enough already before the pandemic without having to deal with endless people now phoning & snitching on their neighbours.

I would never spy on my neighbours, I feel like people deserve their own privacy and I don't do to people what I would not like done to myself

No,I wouldnt spy on anyone.Such a scary thought,people are willing to monitor others movements,I'm really lucky I've not had anyone local to me that disregarded the covid advice,too busy with kids&life to even notice anyone else's movements.The best move people can do is look after their health and look out for others....

No I have other issues with mental health that also need attending to from time to time. Love and variety is key. I don't want to be like everyone else

Unless they start digging ditches at 2 o'clock in the morning, I probably wouldn't notice what they get up to

It all sounds very 1984! Nazi Germany used this as a method of monitoring citizens. It is none of my business what other people get up to.Everyone needs to be responsible for themselves

There's a famous quotation:

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

That in its earliest form was by John Stuart Mill, who said in 1867: “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.”

And therein lies the rub

I live close to some unsavoury characters and have no doubt if I reported them my windows would pay the price.

Perhaps, no, no.

What about you saytheword?

I was once on the Management Committee of a housing estate.

We used to get lots of complaints from residents moaning about their neighbours, demanding that the committee (all unpaid volunteers) deal with it for them.

We introduced a new rule. Only signed complaints made in writing would be considered by the committee - and complainants were required to state on the Complaint Form what action they had already taken to deal with the complaint themselves.

Suddenly there were no more complaints. Funny that.

The bottom line is - if you're not prepared to do any of the dirty work yourself, you shouldn't expect others to do it for you.

If you're that type of person, what a sad person you are.

But, hey if you enjoy 1984 then go for it.

I would like to think most people would abide by the regulations but if they didn’t I’m not sure I could report them.
