Tell him he has two choices: leave unscathed and never come back or stick around so I can beat the daylights out of him while the cops are en route.

That story is unbelieveable though. I don't understand how the laws in the UK are supposed to work. You can't have a gun, you can't go to lengths to protect yourself, other people can't protect you, you can't protect your property. What in god's name can you do (besides easily be a criminal)?
