Tim Larkin Banned from Britain
The Blaze ^ | 5/10/12 | The Blaze

Posted on 05/10/2012 9:34:45 AM PDT by dagogo redux

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.

I've trained with Tim. He's a great instructor, and a great man. The best training I've ever had. Skills and attitudes that will keep you alive, without all the BS of "martial arts".

Knowing that, if needed, I can accomplish the same thing at close range without a gun as I can with one - just as effectively and probably more efficiently - has been a great education. It's an education I hope I will never need, but if I need it some day the training has become instinctual now, and will be ready in an instant.

That Britain banned Tim is not surprising, knowing what Britain has become, but it is their loss a a nation. Fortunately, the Brits have a lot of time off, and can come here to take his training. Even just studying and practicing his DVD courses - if they aren't also banned in Britain - would be well worth their while, and worth the while of anyone reading this as well.

He joins the ranks of Michael Savage. AFAIK, he’s still banned from entering the UK.

The UK is circling the drain. Give them about one or two more generations and it then will be called Londonistan.

Stupid decision.

I think its the supposed emphasis on ‘killing and maiming’ that has got the HO all hot and bothered. I expected this from the last govt, not this one (mind you, is it a Tory decision, or forced on them by their Lib Dem coalition partners?).

There seemed to be some controversy about his last visit and course.

To be honest, none of us here have heard of him until today.

Who do you all think will eventually conquer the UK? A society that inculcates such cowardice in its population can’t stand for long.

Yeah, if we are circling the drain, you are right there holding on to our coattails. You are a bigger cesspool than we will ever be.

Even 76% of Guardian readers think this is a bad decision.

The UK is leading the death of the West not the other way around.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Yeah right.

S*it economy, President with the middle name of Hussein, a gun death number over THIRTY TIMES HIGHER than the UK (approx 900 deaths to approx 30000), gun murder rate almost TWENTY times higher (900 to 14500), 75% of all the world’s uncaught serial killers, a rape rate far higher than the UK, an education system that is being overtaken by countries where English isnt the first language......

Nah, the good old US will go t*ts up before we do.
We might do, but you will be first.

We should have let Savage in.
Then promptly ignored the blowhard.

Rosie Cooper: “He teaches extreme and violent self-defense that is unwelcome [in Britain].”

So when are you going to banish James Bond 007?

Cooper is a Labour MP who publicly criticised a state funeral for Thatcher. She is type of insipid wool-brained MP that lost Labour the election. I am disappointed Teresa May listened to her and any other idiot.

Oh, they’re already conquered - first by their own socialists, and then by the globalists in Brussels.

The Muslims will simply be the next - and last - wave.

A great people destroyed with their own acquiescence shortly after “their finest hour.”

Great - albeit unintentional - advertising.

On a another note; every Englishman, Scotsman, Welshman (is that how you say it?), I've worked with, has lamented the UK's gun laws and expressed envy of US gun laws.

What's your opinion of the general attitude of the population regarding gun control?
