After the Magna Carta, an Englishman's home was his castle, no matter how lowly. That gone by the boards. Now, if one defends oneself, even in one's home, one is subject to arrest and prosecution. And, the government in power is Conservative. God shave the queen, if Labour was in power.
"A pensioner has been arrested after a suspected burglar was killed during a violent tussle at his home.
The 78-year-old was held on suspicion of murder after the 38-year-old died of his wounds in hospital in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Police said the struggle broke out after the pensioner, named locally as Richard Osborn-Brooks, found two men inside his home in South Park, Hither Green, south London shortly after midnight.
One of the burglars, who was armed with a screwdriver, forced the homeowner into his kitchen while his accomplice went upstairs.
Detectives believe a struggle then took place between "one of the males and the homeowner" and the 38-year-old intruder was stabbed in the upper body.
He was later found collapsed in nearby Further Green Road by paramedics from London Ambulance Service, who took him to a central London hospital where he died at 3.37am. Police were unable to confirm whether the suspect had been stabbed with the screwdriver.
The second suspect fled the scene before police arrived and is now being hunted by the Met’s Homicide and Major Crime Command."

The UK still produces men of strength and character such as the old guy who defended himself successfully. Unfortunately, the Queen's Bench barristers doesn't.
This is the end result of the leftie hoplophobes who fear armed good men. BTW, Londonistan's murder rate now exceeds NYC's. While guns are mostly illegal, the murders were committed by knife and gun.
