No doubt any injuries caused would be your fault and a complaint to the Police would be pointless.
Say, why don't they just extend the terrorism act to allow Baliffs to hold you for 42days without reason?

Well, if it wasn't raining today, at least it wouldn't be fooking raining.
If you vote Tory, at least it CAN'T be any worse than Communist Brown, Big Brother Nu Labour and enough wasteful public spending to bankrupt the country for generations.

the bailiff
This has come up before in multiple threads. The Torygraph has this interesting article but I'll take a few quotes out to give you a flavour:
...for centuries, bailiffs were unable forcibly to enter a home under a common law right of citizens established in around 1300 and reaffirmed on many occasions by the courts, as in the Semayne's judgment in 1604 from which the "Englishman's castle" concept derives, and by successive governments throughout history.
In 1760, William Pitt (the Elder) made a famous declaration of this right. "The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the Crown. It may be frail, its roof may shake, the wind may blow through it. The rain may enter. The storms may enter. But the king of England may not enter. All his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement."This right to refuse forced entry held for centuries until the Labour government, with its cavalier disregard for personal privacy, came along. In 2004, it introduced the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Bill, which contained a power to force entry in connection with unpaid fines imposed for criminal offences.In 2007, the Government extended these powers in the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007 to allow bailiffs to use physical force against householders to restrain or pin down them down.Tags: None
