Myleene Klass was told off by police for waving a knife through her window to scare off two teenagers trying to break into her garden shed. The musician was alone in her kitchen, with her two-year-old daughter asleep upstairs, when she grabbed the knife and shouted 'I'm calling the police'. Officers who arrived at her house in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, on Friday warned her that it was illegal to carry an 'offensive weapon' even at home.

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Grayling said: 'This incident just shows why things are still very confused on this issue and why we need a change in the law.'

The Brits are nearly lost. They need to retake their country from the grasp of the PC elites...soon. This is positively absurd.

Just as long as they don't classify spork weasels as dangerous pets.

I submit further evidence of this young lady's lack of guilt.

So, can we assume that the two vandals who were trying to break into her shed called the police and told them she shook a knife at them through the window.?

That’s amazing. I hope the police took their names and addresses, and went to them and informed them that breaking into someone else’s shed is against the law.

What did they want her to do, then? Invite them in for tea??

A knife isn't an "offensive weapon" unless one approaches someone else brandishing the knife. If someone approaches a person clearly displaying the knife, that knife is a defensive weapon.
