pepper spray may be illegal, but a large pot of black ground pepper left forgotten in your bag after a long ago trip to tescoes isn't.

thanks Ladysaw and everyone, my son is remarkably stoic about the whole thing, like a gazelle given a fright at the watering hole by a jackal, shaken but keen to rejoin the herd.

Hope he is ok -

Did the police catch them..?

I found this from 'nunhead_man' post above -

http://www.selfdefenceweaponsuk.co.uk/legal-pepper-spray-uk

and also this:

http://www.ukpreppersguide.co.uk/uk-legal-pepper-spray-alternative-for-women

its a red dye criminal identifier spray.

They are both good articles - I have bought some for my family to carry now.

This was years ago so not sure what the law says now, but remember a police officer telling my school that itnis a crime to carry any weapon, and (this is the bit that stuck with me) if an old lady carried sone salt or pepper in her bag just in case, she could in theory be prosecuted.


I suspect they wouldn't actually prosecute, but it's interesting.

Dirt in the face, making out you're going to be sick, shouting out 'excuse me officer'


All these can work.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
