The right to self defence

At long last there is a stirring among the oppressed householders of this country. The Daily Telegraph is leading a campaign to have the law changed to remove the right of burglars to sue householders if they are injured "on the job" - or, indeed, to prosecute householders for defending themselves.

This lead in the Torygraph makes sensible reading; I suggest you try it and see what I mean. It is not before time for this to be addressed, for far too long the likes of the Left Liberals and the Labour Party have denied us the right of self defence by the use of such weasel words as "reasonable force". Define reasonable? Usually means let them beat you to a pulp, clear your house and your bank, and then turn up in court to be abused by the likes of Mrs Blair Booth defending.

For far too long we have been fed the line that it is your fault if you are robbed or burgled - the victim invited it by having more than the burglar. Well, now even the reformed burglars are saying this isn't right!

Any of you politicians out there listening?
