The Case of the Disappearing Wardens

We never see them any more. I can't blame them if they sit kicking their heels in the office rather than venture out into this Hell-Hole. They've been assaulted repeatedly. What have the Universities done? Has anyone been expelled or even suspended for doing so? Maybe they got a hundred pound fine. I think we can be sure that the police have bent over backwards to avoid charging them.
Of course the cops set an example, driving by doing nothing. Why should the wardens put themselves at risk? They get paid a lot less than the cops who make a point of doing sweet fuck all.
As it happens at least two wardens have taken the logical step of joining the police. Their move from one to the other was very abrupt. They must have been police cadets by day, wardens by night.
The wardens have been no use to the community, but an excellent tool for perception management by the Universities.
"Look", they say," at the great job the wardens have done. Every thing's so much better now. It's all sorted"
Never mind that the wardens can't get them to take meaningful action against their customers, or rather "students".
As I write this the Yahoos are screaming in the street. There are no wardens to be seen. They must be tired after a long hard day at police college. Or maybe they just don't give a fuck any more. I wouldn't if I was them.

I saw two wardens last night when I was on my way back from watching the match. It was around the same time all the fire engines showed up. Maybe it was residents putting on fluorescent jackets and causing havoc again.

History has always shown that a mercenary force will never match a motivated, native grouping fighting for their homes. Hence we can't depend on the wardens.

Whilst I would never advocate violence, how about these options for us residents trying to live in peace:
1) Phone the police when we see ANY type of antisocial behaviour / students committing offences. Yes we know they won't do anything but it really fucks up their crime stats and will annoy them. Maybe after flurry after flurry of calls they might do something. In any case it will show on their crime figures the area DOES have a problem. You do not have to give your name when reporting a crime and you can remain annonymous,

2) Observe students enguaging in anti-social behaviour and note the details. We're talking descriptions, house numbers, numbers, what they're doing etc. Got a camcorder? Mobile Phone with a video on it? Even better, record and collate your evidence and send to the university [ulster and Queens] Got any good photos of students being anti-social? Send them into the South Belfast News / Irish News / Telegraph. Some newspapers will even give you a small fee for this.

3)Phone the wardens, again, annonymously if you want, same idea as the police.

4) Challenge directly in a totally non-violent way: see students doing something anti-social? Ask them what they think they're up to! Also if you spot mummy and daddy dropping them off of a sunday night, be sure to fill them in on what they have been up to.

5) Contact the local papers from the Tyrone, Fermanagh, Down, Antrim etc etc and send in letters along the lines of: "DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR LITTLE ANGLES ARE UP TO AT UNIVERSITY?..." Put in all your stories of student vandalism, assaults, lewd acts in public, criminal damage etc etc. The local papers back in hicksville will love it. Remember: Sex and Violence sell papers so remember to give the most extreme accounts prefarably involving sex, drugs, violence etc etc

6) write to you local MP / MLA again, they will probably do next to nothing however they might mention something publically and draw publicity to the problem.

7) Up Early the next day after a night of student excess has left you jaded? Get them up to! Loud music, drilling, etc etc. Noise control deal with night time noise mostly, and in any case, as we know they do fuck all anyway

8) Discretely find out when exam times are...then party hard yourself. They're fucking up our lives most of the year so if we give them a taste they might reconsider their ways

9) See a local Sports/GAA/Socer Top on a student acting badly? Note the club / team. Google their address on the internet and then contact their club expressing your disgust at how the person was representing the team.

10) How many student houses have TV Licences? TV Licensing are obliged to act on annonymous tip offs. If you suspect a student house does not have a TV Licence [ie 90%] it is your civic duty to report this!

More Tips to follow folks!

What?!! Fire engines in the Holyland?!! Surely not!!;)

I've lived in the Holylands for nearly two year and I can't understand your issue with the wardens. I've seen them a bunch of times this week. Walk along Agincourt Avenue any given night and there they are. Don't get me wrong, because I'm not a fan.They got me fined, but they're doing a job and from the sound of your blog a thankless one.

I look at your blog and all I hear is lie after lie, how many time have you phoned them?

When have you ever been supportive of anything that doesn't involve hurting young people who have no family near them? You like to make up stories, but you never contribute anything positive. You can’t just go around blaming everyone for your own problems. Maybe you should write a true story, one about your family who disappeared. I truly pity you. You’re a lonely man. Have a happy Christmas.

I think exam time is coming up after christmas...all that pressure... be a shame if students couldn't concentrate because of residents playing loud music all through January!!! I also think we should get ourselves a decent wee 5 a Side team and host our competition between 1am - 5am every night in january, anybody else up for a bit of sport?

Aye too right, show and shame them students on You Tube!

Picking on Wardens? I usually give them guys a hard time when I seen them in the street or when they come past my door.

Maybe they should send you to be fined and put on warning. Let’s see what you would think of the universities 'meaningless action' when you get money taken out of your pocket. You’re a student aren't you? Maybe you should be treated like on!!

"Tee Hee"??!!
Someone's been on the Whacky Backy!!!

thats your best answer wackybacky teehee again, i wouldn't degrade myself by touching that crap, but really people come on, lets take a step back and get a bit of perspective on the situation, i'm actually starting to worry about the level of intelligence in the world as i read more of the blog/comments on this site! silly people.

belfast samizdat said...

What should really worry you is that the drunken killer hillbillies are going to be our future intelligentsia and professionals. These people are walking, babbling caricatures. If being Irish means being equated with them, don't ask me to be proud of it.
If the future belongs to them, we're really fucked.

oh i do worry about the other silly people and in a different way, they are not left out from my contempt but you also digress, who said anything about drunk and roudy people representing the irish image? seriously take a step back and think about how worked up your getting over stupid stuff, no one has died and the world will not end due to the anti-social elements in society, which may or may not include you, and please don't be so predictable and state "i've never done anything wrong" i think by reading the comments on your site people can read between the lines but i am not a judge or policeman or anyone of high standing who am i to judge anyone. this is all just a humble opinion! teehee life is such fun!

Fuck Me!!! That one made me laugh!!
I love your pomposity, I really do.
