The Revenge of Tony Martin

          "I am merely a product of today's paranoid victim culture", stated Mr Martin.  "I'm not a violent man.  OK, it is true that I sleep fully clothed in a booby trapped house with a Kalashnikov rifle by my side, but this is only to defend myself in downtown Norfolk.  In the USA people have the right to defend their property.  But in politically correct Britain it seems illegal to kill and maim people.  It's utterly bonkers", said the pot to the kettle.
