How sad that we dont seem to have any responsible reporting nowadays.
I heard today about the tories plans to protect home owners from prosecution if they defended themselves against intruders. This concept was actually first thought of by Tony Blair so its not just a Tory thing it would appear to be an across party thing.
To then hear the ITV sell it on their headlines "Bash a Burglar Policy" really does embarass the station and their reporting.
They seem to have fallen into the same trap as some of the red top rags that go for shock rather than informative news.
How anybody can be against a policy that allows you reasonable grounds of defence is beyond me. As for the pompous chief of the chief officers association that says it has always been that way what a joke. That is what it has always been, but it hasnt been the way the police have interpreted it.
