@Specialist sympathies hon, these types of people just seem to get away with so much carp. A friend of mine down here in Marshfield is having problems with a dodgy bint who's been moved on for causing hassle before.
She's even followed him to work, and yet, the law seems to protect her more than it protects him. It got so bad he banged a load of CCTV up (so he could make sure there was evidence if he got accused of stuff), she complained and the council, knowing what a problem she is because they've had issues before, are forcing him to take some of it down. This country stinks in terms of the imbalance that exists when it comes to protecting ordinary hard working law abiding people from the scum.
I keep a 30mm combination spanner at the side of the bed and dread the day I might actually have to use it for bashing someone because I know I'll be facing a choice between protecting me, my friend and our property and possible jail time, or at best a criminal record, for assaulting the scum bag who breaks in.
