You may take the appropriate level of force necessary to protect yourself and your property. What is the appropriate level of force ... that depends on the intruder, is he armed with an object, a knife, a gun, a bazooka or what, after he realizes that you have detected him does him run away or towards you. Its hard to justify shooting an intruder in the back when he's running away from your house. Anyhow, short answer to "batter" would be yes to the point where you can either subdue him or force him to flee.

Absolutely (although the "do gooders" would consider it unnecessary violence and shove you into prison), as far as I am concerned I do not have to ask them if they mean to do my family or me any harm.
They forfeit the right to reason as soon as they come into my home uninvited.
What possible reason could they have other than to cause me or my family harm either through violence, or though violating my home.
I think that we should have the right to (in fact it should be the law that we must) beat the s**t out of the thieving gits!

Someone comes in my house after me and mine, then brother they are going down and sod what the law says.It's all well and good in theory for the law to say use 'reasonable force', but how the fcuk can you decide what is reasonable under such circumstances. Better be safe than sorry.

We are!
If you believe yourself or your family are in danger of physical harm you can use reasonable offense as befits the situation.
Basically just whack them and say you really thought they had a knife!
You can also use certain weapons without premeditation - so make sure there's a pool cue by the top of the stairs for you to" just grab without thinking"

and then the next person who comes to rob u will arrive with the weapons needed to defend themselfs.. and the first they will go for wont be the tv or the computer it will be the houseowner to disable them
best defence against burglars is a better security system not a baseball bat or a large weapon

If the owner feels personally threatened or otherwise needs actively to defend the property, then yes.
Don't use trap-guns and hidden devices, though.

Here in the UK you can't defend yourself either.If you do injure the intruder you can end up in court yourself.BUT,if anyone is crazy enough to try and break into my home,They will not walk away from it.I can defend myself and a member of my family is an ex soldier.I feel I have the right to defend myself and my property once they have crossed my threshold.

As far as I am concerned, anyone entering my home uninvited, leaves their "human rights" outside. Regardless of the namby pamby laws in the uk. As in the case of Mr Martin, who got 6 yrs in prison for shooting two burglars. He should have got a medal.

If anyone broke into our house, there would be no question of battering that person.
