Are the English coming to their senses?

David Blunkett has given his backing to The Sunday Telegraph's campaign to change the law to give homeowners more rights to protect themselves against burglars.

The Home Secretary said yesterday that he was "deeply sympathetic" to those who thought the law should do everything possible to help householders against intruders - and signalled that government action was likely.

This might be just a floater, rather than a serious change of policy, but even vague rumblings are welcome at this point. England has been heading in the wrong direction for a long time and it's about time they started considering a change of course. Check out the comments from The Smallest Minority on this issue as well; he's had a running argument with a left-wing blogger about self-defense in England that's worth reading back in order to understand the magnitude of this change.
