IOW - the Brits really have no right to self defense. It always comes down on the side of the perp.
Nothing stays the same forever. With the increasing crime in the UK, there is an increasing demand to give homeowners more leeway to defend themselves and their home. There has been a trend to codify that position.
Who knows? It might happen that people in the UK will eventually be able to carry weapons for self defense. It is an ancient right of Englishmen.
Yes, we do.
