A poll on carrying a whistle as a means of self-defence? Let’s assume you even
get the chance to blow your little whistle. Who’s coming to your aid? A couple
of other whistle-blowers? I am sure a rousing rendition of Bing Crosby’s White
Christmas will scare off any potential attacker.

I would never carry a whistle for my safety. Whistles are dangerous! You could seriously
damage your attacker’s hearing. I believe whistles should be banned – except
for the police and military.
