Quote of the Day

The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the Crown. It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter; the rain may enter—but the King of England cannot enter; all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement.


-- William Pitt the Elder, speaking in Parliament in 1763. (Today, there 1043 separate ways that "the King" may enter your house and you can do fuck all about it.)

There are many way they can legally enter. All those laws say you can't stop them getting in.

Not one of them states that you have to let them leave...
