Sobering Article on European Crime

The law regarding self defence in the UK is similar to the USA. The force used should be proportional to the threat. You can use lethal force if required.
Of course if lethal force is used just like in America then their is going to be a investigation that's just common sense.
In the case of the man that stabbed the burglar its wrong to say he was found not guilty it never came to trial.

Their is a lot of rubbish BEING POSTED AS REGUARDS THE RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELF IN THE UK.

It's well known that the amount of violent crime per capita in many Western Eurpoean countries is far greater than that of the US. Britain, despite the marketing by the various tourism agencies, is a cesspool of crime. They have massive social welfare dependency and huge cultural and social problems that have been self-perpetuating for years. You won't see this on the Olympics, but it's the cool/hip thing in Britain to be an unemployed loser and commit petty crime to support your drug habit.

That's a sweeping statement. That a bit like someone in the UK saying Americans are all gun nuts. Which is of course rubbish a bit like the post above.
 
In Northern Ireland (part of the UK) firearms were and still possible to get for self defence. And have being used for self defense the authorities wouldn't be issuing them if you were not allowed to use them.

The FBI isn't descended from the revenuers. BATF. Treasury agents: T-men, not G-men. Both federal, though, and briefly the BATF was part of the FBI.
