The UK has lost their damn minds and I'm sure the CA Libtards are taking notes.

Myleene Klass warned after brandishing knife to deter intruders

Police tell TV presenter she was acting illegally in waving kitchen knife at youths who were peering in window late at night

The TV presenter and Marks & Spencer model Myleene Klass has been warned by police for waving a knife at teenagers who were peering into a window of her house late at night.

Klass was in the kitchen with her daughter upstairs when she spotted the youths in her garden just after midnight on Friday. She grabbed a knife and banged the windows before they ran away.

Hertfordshire police warned her she should not have used a knife to scare off the youths because carrying an "offensive weapon", even in her own home, was illegal.

Klass's spokesman, Jonathan Shalit, said the former Hear'Say singer was "utterly terrified" by the intruders and "aghast" at the police warning. "All she did was scream loudly and wave the knife to try and frighten them off," he told the Sunday Telegraph. "She is not looking to be a vigilante, and has the utmost respect for the law, but when the police explained to her that even if you're at home alone and you have an intruder, you are not allowed to protect yourself, she was bemused."

The warning issued to the model comes after a pledge by the Conservative party last month that they would make it more difficult for people who tackle burglars to be prosecuted.

The shadow home secretary, Chris Grayling, spoke out after Munir Hussain was jailed for beating a man who tied up his family in their home. He and his brother used a cricket bat to beat one of the intruders, who was left with a permanent brain injury.

A spokeswoman for Hertfordshire police said no reference was made in the Klass incident report about a weapon. She said the incident was being treated as trespass and "words of advice were given in relation to ensuring suspicious behaviour is reported immediately".

Klass, whose fiance, Graham Quinn, was away on business at the time of the scare, plans to step up security at the property, near Potters Bar.

In the future, maybe she should use the new UK plastic pint glass to scare intruders off.

 

Wow the UK is turning into a bunch of sissies.

Didn't they arrest a veteran for turning in an abandoned gun to the local police too?

 

lol...ENGLAND PREVAILS!

 

The what now? Damn it.

Yup, this constant nannying of people is getting very depressing. I lived 27 years of my life in England - and spent a lot of it in pubs and bars. In all that time, I have never seen a pint glass used in an attack.

Having said that, a lot of stupid things are proposed, but never make it into law. A great example was that they wanted all yachtsmen to wear full crash helmets because two people were killed when their boat's boom hit them. When you look at the hundreds of thousands of sailboats compared to the number of accidents it is ridiculous. One guy pointed out that more people in the UK drown every year in auto accidents (driving into rivers, canals etc) than boating accidents.

 

This is just depressing.

 

wow... I'm glad I live here in the USA

 

**** new age England, I cant believe what England has become... Churchill would be rolling in his grave if he knew about the *****fictation of modern day England.

It's sad that someone can't do a damn thing to defend themselves against any kind of intrusion. What are you supposed to do?!

 

There is always a threat of acute lead poisoning to intruders in my home.
