Can I Legally Defend Myself in the UK? Avoiding Jail When You Fight Back
Description
If you’re confused by UK self-defence law, you’re not alone. In this episode, Julie Waite (Co-Founder of Streetwise Defence) breaks down the real rules around protecting yourself — and what the law actually allows.
Using the case of Martyna Ogonowska as a starting point, Julie explores why she was convicted of murder, the truth about carrying weapons, and what “reasonable force” really means.
Learn what you can do to stay safe legally — from improvised weapons to pre-emptive strikes — and why awareness and mindset are your most powerful tools.
“You can fight back. You just need to do it within the law.” – Julie Waite
