If these people are identified, personally, I will consider laying an information for a private prosecution - in the event the Police decided not to do anything. They need to learn that this sort of intimidation is not acceptable.

Agreed - I suspect that would probably be the (mostly silent) majority's view too. If I possessed the skills of Chuck Norris that would certainly be my plan A. Sadly I don't, so giving 3 of them a slap is probably out of the question.

The fact that there are 3 of them makes their behaviour all the more intimidating though - which they no doubt know.

Sadly the state of our criminal justice system makes it difficult to undertake court proceedings even if there is reasonable evidence of guilt.


This naturally makes the Police reluctant to undertake investigations such as witness gathering or other evidence gathering. It's just not logical for them from a cost-benefit perspective. Even if you act as a private detective and get evidence yourself, they can be reluctant and can recommend citizens undertake private prosecutions (which are obviously not an option outside the wealthy).


This is a really great summary of why:

Sorry to hear about this.


This afternoon I was shoved quite violently by two teenagers as I walked home from Sainsbury's (on the public path leading to Monclar Road). I yelled at them and walked away but they then ran after me shouting so I started to run too. They gave up quite quickly. Reported the crime to the police but annoyingly I didn't get a good look at their school uniform!


Obviously idiotic 14-15 year olds who think it's funny to intimidate women...


Has anyone else experienced this?

    • They are. We are back to the same construction racket 8am-8pm every day for the whole of this week. The wall is one of the last things to come down, probably on Saturday. Then we can see how much of a mess they've made, especially the quantity of non-biodegradeable litter trampled into the earth. GALA 2025 - Production Schedule.pdf
    • The irony of the name of this festival...
    • @Rockets be a sweety and stop using the large font, it's annoying and I expect most can comprehend. Still not sure how this festival affects you.  Or is it a case that you just like taking on causes 
    • It is intimidating looking through the book sections now.  I sometimes wonder if they're stocking bookshops' remainders. OTOH, when I put  some books out in a cardboard box for taking, it was  encouraging to see that a fair proportion of those taken were aged hardbacks.
