If true, this new legislation sounds as though it may give people a much better chance of defending themselves against criminals...let's all hope and pray that it all comes to pass as advertised.
More recent good news from the UK:

'76 Reasonable force for purposes of self-defence etc.'
Finally some light at the end of the tunnel for Britain.
Since guns are outlawed and knives are on the way out, maybe Brits can start carrying 30 pound spoons and four-foot long spatulas.
The eminent scholar, Joyce Lee Malcom, had detailed how the British lost their right to self defense. It occurred over decades, as an adjunct to the ruling class’ desire to disarm the public.
To simplify and condense, they could not easily take away the right to have a gun without taking away the right to self defense. This is because if you have the right to defend yourself, it is implied that you have the right to the tools necessary to do so.
