My neighbours in Ireland had two mobile homes, 17 kids, several dogs (Akitas and German Shepherds mostly) hundreds of cousins, and they would all come out to scream at anyone who gave them trouble or asked them to perhaps keep their dogs on their land. They had an ongoing feud with the neighbour who had shot one of their dogs for killing too many sheep. They shot fireworks over my (thatched) roof and would make rude remarks any time they saw me outside.
The planning department hassled me for the heritage characteristics of my windows. They were happy to ignore the completely illegal mobile homes next door. The police do nothing but occasionally talk to them very sheepishly.
This is in a country where the police usually do not carry firearms, which I don't think makes a lot of sense, personally.
Of course, if you do something truly horrible, like smoke cannabis or not pay taxes on onion imports, you'll go to jail.
- bArray 3y agoI've seen extremely similar throughout the UK. Possibly the worse thing about the UK (or Ireland) is that it punishes those who abide by the rules the most. Unfortunately you will not got any support from the government or police. The only way out of your situation is to gather multiple allies and make the area unviable. In one local place the farmers shot bird scarers over the tops of their caravans for several nights and they left.
