citizenship means nothing to people in guatenamo bay, does it?
citizenship didnt mean that much to blacks living in segregated cities in the 50's in America, did it?
I assume also you use "The North of Ireland" rather than the
correct name because you are an Irish nationalist? There were many grave human rights abuses carried out by the British army
in Northern Ireland, being a citizen or a subject made no difference to it though.
You are also not correct that no formal human rights exist in the UK, they are set out under EU law, which takes precedence over UK law

we are not wild animals. and it is not justifiable to use lethal force to defend your property. if a few maniacs wanted to pledge (not give, pledge) millions of pounds to Tony Martins defence fund this in no way means a majority of people supported him. Certainly some people did, and the worst elements of the UK press (disgusting rags like the Daily Mail and Sun) did, most people saw him as a murderer.
And you really cant have it both ways - it cannot be so dark that he couldnt see what the guy was doing or who he was, and at the same time light enough for him to identify that the burgular had a crow bar.
Martin justifiably was angry that his home had been robbed so many times and that the police couldnt protect him... unfortunately he decided to execute his own kind of "justice", because the law failed to provide real justice.
