You have to wait 'til they try to kill you first ... then, if they were unsuccessful, you are allowed to defend yourself.
To answer your question, there is, these days, little respect in this country for the right to property.
It's the first step towards socialism: "Let them take it - they probably need it worse than you do, anyway."

if i caught some one in my house id batter them to death with my cricket bat out of fear ive never had a criminal record and am not a violent person but if someone crosses that threshold there fuked and id go down for it ,i think its a disgrace that people can have certain rights even when theyve entered property to do wrong this if anything incourages others to do the same and criminality grows ,its the same with prisons there saying there fulll and are letting people out early ,there always gonna have this problem and its gonna grow because these fukin people feel the risks are worth while ,the goverment hasnt got a fukin clue.

If someone breaks into your house and you are there, you have the right to shoot them! As long as they are facing you when you pull the trigger, you will be protected under self defence laws. If you shoot them in the back while they are leaving, you're in deep poopoo.
What do you mean you have no rights?

In the UK you have the right to use reasonable force. If you have children in your house then that level of reasonable force can be very wide ranging if you feel that your life or the lives of your children are in danger. It would then be a matter for the jury.
There is a considerable amount of caselaw in the UK that governs such situations.

This happened to someone who lives a few houses away from us. She found the father and son (also from our neighborhood) coming out of her house with her belongings- they were standing in her front yard....later she told us that the police said that they can't lock them up, because she didn't have a do not enter sign anywhere outside.

Well, for one thing, they don't have the right to walk away with your possessions.
You do have the right to protect yourself - just not to chase after the intruder to cause them injury. If your life is at risk, there is no question that you should do what you can to protect yourself.

He commits offence of trespass and burglary.Both being punishable you can report to Police for action.Also you have right to private defence by which you can apply necessary force to stop or catch him.But you shall be punished if you exceed the said right.For example after overpowering him you cannot hit him again.

You can infact in the UK use what ever force is needed to protect your self from an intruder, you can't however ask some one u dont like to ur house then Kill them and say they broke in.But the law in the UK is sometimes very Mis matched and not all its seems, so best to let the intruder leave with what ever he/she wants.ha ha ha

Nobody has the right to walk off with your possessions.
You have the right to use reasonable force to protect person and property.
You do not have the right to go beyond reasonable force, because it isn't your job to administer punishment for their crime - that's up to the courts.
