It was all about how people in the UK are unable to protect themselves from home invasion or in this case the grand father wanting to shoot the guy. It devolved into how people in the UK if they did defend themselves, they would be the one’s who’d be arrested for assault. You have a computer, you look up the stories.

How many times do I have to listen to this crap?.

The British people are NOT unable to defend themselves, either personally or their home/families. This idea that that self-defence/defence of home is somehow illegal in the UK is the biggest load of tripe. One I am utterly sick of constantly correcting.

Esp as I am actually the victim of crime (2008) and had to use said (supposedly illegal) self defence!.

Get this straight: it is, always has been and always will be as legal for a Brit to defend self or family or home/property as anyone else. The law has been strengthened twice since 2007 in favour of the assaulted/homeowner. It is legal to even kill a burglar/assailant, as a homeowner did in Manchester in 2012.
