9 Cheap Self-Defence Buys in British Supermarkets (And 3 That Could Get You Arrested)

📖 This video's about the back door. My large-print book is about the shopping bill: https://elaineh.netlify.app There are nine things on ordinary British shelves, several of them under a fiver, that are legal to buy, own and keep in your house, and useful if you live on your own. The whole trolley comes to £65.46. I'm not a solicitor, so I went through the official pages: police forces, Secured by Design (the police's own crime-prevention organisation), Neighbourhood Watch, Age UK, gov.uk and the Crown Prosecution Service. Prices change, so the shelf in your own shop is the one that counts. Most of the law here is England and Wales law, and it can differ in Scotland and Northern Ireland. This is what the official pages say, not legal advice. As always, none of what I say is medical or financial advice either. CHAPTERS 1:00 1. Foil on the back-door knob 2:10 2.
