It would appear that a slight degree of sanity might be returning to UK law on the right of self defense:

Nancy Pelosi was NOT involved in this decision.

Sadly, the proscription against self defense in UK, even in one's home doesn't just apply to firearms...a baseball bat will get you in just as much trouble used to cause harm to an invader.  How awful!
