We have been experiencing this over recent months in Woodwarde Rd, with calls, typically on the weekend. Usual positioning of needing to sell a certain amount as part of their rehabilitation. Are any other roads experiencing this at present and have you been reporting it to the police? All young men and one in particular, one who calls himself Curtis, whose manner can be quite intimidating. What times of day/days of the week are they calling and have you had any associated crime that might be related. There has not been anything on this from the police.

What evidence do you have that these people are Ex-Offenders as you put it. ?


I do not buy anything from these people as most of the stuff they are selling is poor quality.


But you cannot assume they are Ex-offenders. That is just not right.

That is how they describe themselves and that the selling is part of their rehabilitation. Their labelling/positioning and not mine. They say that it is necessary in order to reach the targets that their rehab has set. But this is nonsense and having looked at more information around the topic, it is clear that no rehab system would use such a meaningless method. And they don't. We have spoken to a number of the individuals and expressed concern for a system that asks them to do this. They look very uncomfortable at this conversation as they know it is a scam, and no doubt they are caught in a complicated relationship with the scam organisers. Anyway, my thread was really to alert people and understand the local scale of this activity at the present time. Some people, for example the elderly, are very vulnerable.
We live just round the corner get this frequently too and sometimes quite late at night. As the original poster says the first line is to say they are just out of prison. I think it is designed to intimidate. I have found that if you try to refuse they sometimes look really angry/aggressive. We had it last Friday well after 8pm. I think it should be reported personally.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
