Muss euch enttäuschen, Leute, ist eine Zeitungsente.
Briten haben jetzt schon ein Recht auf Selbstverteidigung mit
reasonable force. Das neue Gesetz wird dieses Recht nicht ausdehnen, sondern lediglich noch einmal festschreiben. Einfach mal nach "kenneth clarke burglar" googeln, hier zum Beispiel der Bericht von der Beeb:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-13957587On people's rights to self-defence in their homes, Mr Clarke said there was "constant doubt" about the issue and the proposed legislation would make this "much clearer". [...] [T]he government is set to place people's right to defend their property, long present in common law, in statute law. "It's quite obvious that people are entitled to use whatever force is necessary to protect themselves and their homes," Mr Clarke said.
Hier von Sky, für Leute, denen die BBC zu bolschewistisch ist:
http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/UK-New ... 0983?f=rssMr Clarke accepted that the defence of reasonable force already exists, but said: "Given that doubts are expressed, we are going to clarify that. "It is quite obvious that people are entitled to use whatever force is necessary to protect themselves and their homes.
Wozu die Änderung, wenn sie nichts ändert? Ablenkungsmanöver. Der eigentliche Sinn des Gesetzes und sein hauptsächlicher Effekt ist die weitgehende Abschaffung von
indeterminate sentences, also eine drastische Verkürzung der Gefängnisstrafen für schwere Verbrechen. BBC:
Mr Clarke has come under attack over proposed changes to sentencing policy, but has denied making a series of U-turns on key elements amid pressure from Tory MPs and sections of the media. He has said he is committed to axing indeterminate prison sentences, despite opposition from many Tory MPs.
He said indeterminate sentences - where prisoners can be held beyond their original release date if they still pose a danger to society - had been an "unmitigated disaster" since they had been introduced by Tony Blair and suggested an alternative to them would be in place within two years.
Daily Mail:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... treet.htmlControversial sentencing reforms were passed by MPs last night, despite claims they will allow thousands of criminals to go free. Kenneth Clarke’s cost-cutting Justice Bill cleared its first parliamentary hurdle by 295 votes to 212, despite opposition from Labour and some Tory Right-wingers.
Among the reforms sought by Mr Clarke is the scrapping of indeterminate sentences, under which prisoners are not released until they are deemed safe. Mr Clarke said they ‘had been discredited’ and insisted it would be better to give serious criminals long, fixed sentences. The Bill passed last night provides for a review of indeterminate sentencing. But former Labour Home Secretary Jack Straw said indeterminate sentences were ‘spectacularly successful’.
Wie gesagt: einmal mal googeln.
solch ein Schritt zu mehr Rechte für die Bürger eines Landes - bin erstaunt entzückt und das zu Zeiten der EU Restriktionen dort und da - und hoff die Umsetzung wird rasch erfolgen und die Bevölkerung ihr kommendes Recht auch nützt.
