Fwd: [LA-F] US self-defence expert banned from entering UK



---------

 

This story just goes to show that our government does NOT want us to be
able to defend ourselves in our own homes. They would prefer we stay
helpless and sitting ducks and pay the filth to work out what happened
so they can convict the victim!

After donkeys years of Ju-Jitsu I know how to inflict pain on people.
Come to think of it the filth learn some of this stuff too so they can
inflict great pain on their victims.

An American expert in violent self-defence has been excluded from
entering the UK by the Home Office.

Tim Larkin tried to board a plane from his home in Las Vegas on Tuesday,
but was given a UK Border Agency letter saying "his presence here was
not conducive to the public good".

Mr Larkin, who was due to host seminars, told the BBC the move was a
"gross over-reaction".

The Home Office said he was subject to an exclusion order.

A spokeswoman said: "The home secretary will seek to exclude an
individual if she considers that his or her presence in the UK is not
conducive to the public good."

Mr Larkin - who trained as a US Navy Seal - runs a company teaching
combat to military and law enforcement clients in the United States.

'Black swan occasions'
He teaches self-defence techniques, which according to his own website,
are designed to inflict "crippling pain" to an attacker, and claims
violence is "your ultimate survival tool".

Mr Larkin had been invited to be a keynote speaker at The Martial Arts
Show conference in Birmingham on 12 and 13 May, and to hold a seminar in
Tottenham.

Both areas were targeted by rioters last August.

Mr Larkin told BBC Radio 4 he believed he was being excluded for
criticising Britain's self-defence laws.

"I am not advocating that the UK should be like the US. What am
advocating is that the UK should go back to laws it had, prior to 1920."

But Mr Larkin insisted there was "nothing outrageous" about his views,
and his intention in visiting the UK, was not to incite "violence".

"This is not being a vigilante. You are sitting in your house and you're
being attacked, or you're attacked out in the street... There's an awful
lot of martial arts and self defence being taught there right now that
gives no instruction on [how to hurt] the human body.

He continued: "There are those rare, rare black swan occasions - like
the riots - where law-abiding citizens are put in situations where they
are facing grievous bodily harm and they hesitate because they are
afraid of being prosecuted. That is a very real thing."

Mr Larkin claims he has a lot of support in the UK, and he says he may
appeal to MPs.

A visit in 2009 to Slough, in Berkshire, where Mr Larkin held a class
intended to teach how to "maim and kill in self-defence", provoked
widespread condemnation from the community.
