There's no reason pepper spray should be illegal. No one has ever used pepper spray to go on a killing spree. The fact that it's illegal to carry pepper spray in the UK suggests the purpose of their laws is to make it illegal to defend yourself. They want you to live in fear.

@ReviewsPossum Are you allowed to make your own?

@WhtGoat @ReviewsPossum You'll get ultra punished under UK law. UK law for self defence has the person attacked needing to prove that they have a valid reason to have on hand a tool they use for self defence. If you have home-made spray, that's premeditated, so you'll get a heavier sentence.
