... or, the Once and Future Great Britain?
Via hotair.com, found at uncle, from the Telegraph:
If you defend yourself, you won't automatically face charges.
Hold on there.
What?
In UK?
That's right, dear British readers, as you will have known for a year before you find this post, you can now legally defend yourself, including fighting a mugger in the street OR your house, turning their weapons on them, and even (gasp) using your OWN weapon in your OWN home against a Goblin. Stop the presses folks, you mean I won't end up like Singh and come up on murder charges for using a knife against the person who was going to use it on me?
That's right. Note: some folks only take FOUR TIMES at HAVE-A GO incidents before deciding there's a problem:
[Justice Secretary Jack Straw]"is understood to have decided new laws were necessary after he was involved in four "have-a go" incidents, which included chasing and restraining muggers near his south London home."
That would be like the head of the Justice Department getting mugged 4 times before realizing he shouldn't be on the hook for having a go at the mugger and neither should you. Maybe the soccer thugs are actually being heard? Of course the mush-brains in the minority are saying this is a bad idea because they didn't think of it first.
Welcome back to the line to be admitted to civilized society, Britain.
