I'm guessing, however, at somepoint in the future, someone is going to try and get away with a murder using this, or at least, someone is going to be accused that it was murder, rather than defence. One of those vocal groups of people who love a crusade will start a campaign to get the law repealed and some newspaper/media group will start blowing it all up out of proportion and we'll eventually lose the original ruling. We'll, by law, have to let someone burgle us, then fill out the apporpriate forms afterwards. /pessimist_blog

Don't forget the facebook petitions and the herd instinct groups.

Facebook status updates cure cancer.
Or so you'd fucking believe, judging by the amount of "Copy this to your status for an hour to support the cause" I've seen.

Modern era social networking equals antisocial living.
I detest all of it. You're out with your mates in the pub, they are all updating their FB or tweeting or some shit. Errr..lads...we're in the pub together yet we're not.

Since money is more important than people (yes - it is), it's in the insurance companies' interest for people to tackle people and it to go to court, where it will be a civil matter. If we let people burgle us and then fill out the forms, it will require huge amounts of compensation etc, and they won't be at all happy about that.

ah, yes, but who has the greater influence, the Insurance companies, or a mass of activists with media backing?

The insurance companies.
No one likes the hippies - they're all sanctimonious wankers.

They like their money, though.
That's the difference - which would you rather have, a protest song sung by some dirty, workshy skank about how it's all so unfair and capitalism equals CRAPitalism actually, or a nice, new, shiny computer?

Once public opinion is against a current or prospective piece of legislation or government position/event etc etc, and the media has it's grubby, fat little fingers in the mix, stirring it up and using every opportunity to stick the knife in,
consessions end up being made, surely shirley? They had to back out of the NHS changes and reassess it

Admittedly this government are a bunch of spineless little toads, yes.
But in the greater scheme of things, money talks, always will, and rightly so.
