Clarity is a shady business

So it seems that the law governing how householders should treat visiting burglars will not be changed. All that is needed is for the current law to be better explained to all concerned, especially for householders. I assume that burglars are already well versed in their rights hence the lack of need to have it especially explained to them too.

Here is an early indication of quality of the explanation that us householders are waiting for with baited breath:

Information would shortly be published and advertised to the public so people were clear "that the current law ensures that appropriate steps to protect themselves, their family and their property will always be justified".
Take that you burglars!

Erm, any idea on what they mean by appropriate. Isn't this the very heart of the issue?
