I have to agree with Alan here, if I am out running on the common and get attacked by a dog am I within my rights to defend myself by all means possible? ie to prevent getting bitten can I pick up the nearest heavy object etc


As for Keef's point, the common land is for the enjoyment of all people not just dog owners.

That's entirely different, if you were attacked then its perfectly reasonable to defend yourself! I like dogs but if one attacked me of course I would defend myself. If however a dog gave me unwanted attention that wasnt of the "attacking" variety eg joined my picnic uninvited I would tell it off! I dont believe it reasonable to resort to violence in such situation.

Why say nothing? Why not tell the dog off and ask the owner to call the dog away?

Blimey - this is all rather heated. I have been following this thread all afternoon and I must say that I think that certain people?s attitudes to dogs are despicable! I often walk a friend's dogs and trust me, if they were simply to run past someone and then were kicked I would have no issued in reporting that person to the police.


I agree that dogs should be kept under control, but keeping them on a lead in a park? Perhaps people who are that worried should stay at home, wrap themselves in cotton wool and never eat hot food ? just incase they scald themselves!


If you?re ?attacked? by a dog or a person, you have every right to defend yourself and I see no problem in doing that. I think you should define attack Alan Dale ? does this include brushing past your legs?


I find it quite rude that you?re saying dog owners are lonely and insane. Dogs are lovely animals and I wouldn?t chose to own one myself, as I don?t have the time. I would suggest that people who are labeling dog owners take a good look at themselves before casting aspersions!

Alan, you are surely a wind-up merchant. Nobody could really believe what you're saying. You sound like a lonely insane old man to me - whereas the pro-dog people on here are coming across as rather more well-balanced, reasonable people.


Perhaps you should get a dog? It might help you ;-)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
