    Those are pretty much all dictionary definitions of selfish. You wouldn't last long in court if that's the best you can do.

    So being "selfish" is a crime now? I missed that being passed into law.

    That would be bloody ridiculous if it's true that the owner could be sued for money, although it wouldn't surprise me if it was.

    Sure free legal aid for him no doubt.

    Isn't it the case that if someone breaks into your home at night, the line is very narrow between defending yourself and doing assault?

    Nope. See Defence and the Dwelling Act.

    I suppose a deeper question is, where does property come from? You own land because you inherited/bought it from its previous owner. The previous owner inherited/bought it from someone else. Trace back the ownership and you inevitably come to an act of naked theft by the king.

    Satan. All land comes from Satan.
