That sounds similar to the law in many states in the U.S. You can only use reasonable force against an attacker,

Do those force limits apply only when you are defending yourself? Are there "force limits" that an attacker should mind as well?

Anyway - what is going on with the Brits? Once a fierce and proud nation, they seem to be turning into a bunch of scardy-cat panty-waists!

"Are there "force limits" that an attacker should mind as well?"

Yeah, it's just that the bad guys ignore them. Sorta like how they ignore the gun laws.
