Rights fight

The Home Secretary's pledge to remove the right of intruders to claim legal aid in order to sue homeowners who injure them, does not address the public's real concerns surrounding the Tony Martin case.

The Freedom Association is campaigning for a complete change in the law to ensure the people of this country are able to defend themselves and their property without being branded criminals.

In a recent Yougov poll commissioned on our behalf, no less than 80 percent of respondents agreed that homeowners who injure intruders should not face prosecution.

The question of legal aid is not the substantive issue.

The public wants the law rebalanced in favour of the innocent homeowner and abhors the ability of convicted criminals to claim damages for injuries sustained while committing criminal acts.

If enough people join with us and apply pressure to their MP to support our campaign, we will ensure there are no more Tony Martins in future.
