Allow British citizens to arm themselves with pepper spray a non lethal weapon
Allow British citizens to protect themselves we are living in a state of fear in this country right now at every single turn we risk being attacked. I want the people that are supposed to be protecting this country to allow its citizens to at least protect themselves
we are living in a state of fear. Every day ordinary people worried they might be attacked simply walking down the street. Our police and politicians must do better but while they act, people need options to protect themselves. Pepper spray is a non lethal tool that could give a victim crucial seconds to escape and seek help. I'm calling on our representatives to put this on the Parliamentary agenda for a proper, evidence-based discussion about public safety and responsible self defence.
