I was discussing with some colleagues at work about what we’d actually do if someone broke into our home, and what the legal ramifications would be if the intruder got injured. Obviously, the ideal situation would be to protect your family, etc. But if that isn’t an option, to what extent are you legally allowed to defend yourself and your property?

I know that in some countries you can use much more force against an intruder than you can here in the UK. But if an intruder was seriously injured or even killed while you were defending yourself, what would the legal consequences be?

I was watching a Guns and Roses concert from the 90s on YouTube and saw lots of comments from people wishing they’d grown up then. Did people who grew up in the 90s wish they’d grown up in the 80s? And did people in the 80s feel the same about the 70s?
