    Capture it on camera and upload to YouTube. Give it a catchy title and soon the whole world will be watching (and I daresay sympathising).

    Don't record it as that is a sure way to land yourself in hot water. Do report it to your local authority's social care department. It's neglect to leave the children in this state.

    Exactly. Just Google ''Bijan Ebrahimi'' to see what the UK has become :(

    Honestly OP - this is just the way the UK is today. There's nothing you can do. The authorities are all about looking after the trouble makers and no one is going to do anything to sort this out for you.

    Sorry if this sounds harsh. But all those saying ''keep a diary'', ''record events'' etc are just giving you false hope. The landlord is unlikely to care. As long as the LHA keeps flowing, he'll be happy. The council will not do anything to help you.

    In fact, by creating records of these issues you will only create a liability to disclose them if trying to sell your house.

    My advice is keep quiet and move.

    What an incredibly irresponsible thing to suggest.
    Probably not illegal, if recorded in a public place, but given the current social environment in the UK today, highly likely to inflame the situation.

    If you rent your place, I would be off like a shot to somewhere new......and far away from them.

    I don't rent, and I couldn't afford to just sell up.

    I'm just going to have to keep an eye on things, apparently someone has reported it, the mother one was ranting about being reported "again". I've no idea who reported them ot who they reported them to, but they aren't happy, the "again" makes me wonder how many times, and like I say, to who?
