Tim Larkin Banned from Britain

Tim Larkin, a successful self-defense instructor, has been banned from entering the U.K. because, in the words of MP Rosie Cooper: “He teaches extreme and violent self-defense that is unwelcome [in Britain].”

One of Larkin’s philosophies, according to the Telegraph, is: “violence is rarely the answer, but when it is, it’s the only answer.” His website elaborates:

The truth is… your best self defense in a life-or-death confrontation is injuring the other guy. And it’s the one thing that makes us so different.

Because, when you…

Try to keep yourself from being stabbed – you’ll get stabbed.

Try to avoid being shot – and you’ll get shot.

It’s the dirty little secret every predator knows but no one in the self defense world talks about.

When facing violence on the street today, the only thing guaranteed to get you out alive is injuring your assailant.

1—No, I simply wanted to add a bit on.

2-It was a journalist that claimed Lord Ahmed (the man IS an arse anyway), there isnt any proof he actually made the statement, he certainly never made it publicly.

And the film WAS shown, and there was no counterprotest by Ahmed or anyone else.

3—Lord Ahmed is currently suspended from the House of Lords and the Labour Party for his numerous controversies and his motormouth.

4—’1776 motto: “We owe allegiance to no crown!”’

Which is why you tried to make Washington ‘King of America’.

I prefer:

‘We fight this revolution to claim our rights as true Englishmen’-—Thomas Jefferson.

I’m mystified. I’ve trained under British self-defence instructors who have taught potentially lethal techniques (mainly centred around blows and chokeholds to the head and neck), and a lot of people I’ve trained with during these times have been coppers who I know wouldn’t have been happy being in the presence of illegality taking place in front of their eyes.

There must be more to this story...
