It would appear so. The people are required to die first, and ask questions later.
Is it my imagination, or is the UK turning into a shithole country?

You are wrong, in regards to some of their laws, they are not turning into what you suspect, THEY ARE ALREADY THERE. And if we are not careful in this country liberals, progressives or socialists, by whatever name they go by have the same in store for us.

No more fox and hounds for Harry. Me-ghan no likely. Funny her name rhymes with Negan from walking dead. Tyrant? De-nutting has already occurred. When does he start his anti glow-bull warming campaign? 👸🏼👑👫

“Police arrested him on suspicion of grievous bodily harm before then arresting him on suspicion of murder”

Insane. The guy in the street is the one who should be up on these charges.

“From a world power to a Muslim country full of girlie people.”

Their military is nothing to trifle with. The Black Watch alone could clean it up in a few days. It’s the same wretched politicians who deny self defense that ruined the country.

This is what you get when you are a “subject” instead of a citizen.

Ah, but you see they are not running the country are they? The politicians are! Therefore there goes the country.

So, in Brittan you are not allowed to fight back if someone breaks into your house and tries to kill you.

The incident recalls the case of Tony Martin, a Norfolk farmer who was convicted of manslaughter after shooting a burglar he discovered in his home in 1999. Mr Martin was initially convicted of murder, but this was later reduced to manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility.

Police arrested him on suspicion of grievous bodily harm before then arresting him on suspicion of murder.

Norman Brennan, a former police officer who represents victims’ interests, said police were required to arrest the pensioner in order to investigate whether he had acted in self defence. - https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/04/04/suspected-burglar-dies-tussle-pensioner-78/

...and today the police have confirmed that he will face no charges. He was interviewed under caution but released once the facts had been established.
