This is an interesting read. Turns out the law basically already offers this guy the protection he needs as long as it was ‘reasonable force’. If he thought his life was in danger then he should be fine.

Still, all fun and games seeing the tabloids and you lot frothing over things without understanding them fully.

I think that's pretty much what everyone's said - I was pleasantly surprised by the total lack of frothing!

As long as it doesn't turn out he did a Tony Martin and shot a fleeing burglar, he'll be fine. I think if there was any "frothing" it was that it seemed pretty clear that he shouldn't have been arrested in the first place (given also the disabled and presumably traumatised wife)

Good, but it should never have gone this bloody far.

Only in this country would we do this along with persecuting run of the mill soldiers doing their duty in Iraq or Northern Ireland for purported 'War Crimes' but let Peadophiles run amok in Northern 's***holes' almost with Impunity. Where are all the Celebrities & other Luvvies denouncing this madness? Their silence is deafening, I'm guessing this 78 Year old doesn't suit their agenda in that he's white & working class. He's the 'wrong' sort of the victim I'm guessing.
