There are several “Self Defense Schools in England”. Why should they let an outsider in their Party? It is NOT the country that banned him it was the NAKMAS. It was The National Assoication of Karate and Martial Arts. Simply put, Mr. Larkins did NOT greased the Right palms.(pay the right people)

Unlike America, England keeps a record of who is doing what. you just cannot open a school. Love AMERICA for what we can and cannot do. When this country tries to regulate martial arts. TRhey tryed to do it in the latre 60′s and Early 70′s. they did not want a “Martial Arts School” in the black Communities. Count Dante put a stop to that is Chicago and the country followed.

Personally owning Mr. Larkins and several other intsructor Training DVD’s I know that they will allow him in ONCE he does what is right in England eyes and register with the policies of England and PRAY that that BS NEVER comes to America.

Ken – that is an amazing story of survival! Proof positive that people need to learn how to defend themselves. It seems that the govenments of the world want their citizens to be defenseless. They don’t want us to walk around wearing weapons so then when people want training to defend themselves they say not! Even in Canada you can get charged for defending yourself. But I don’t care. I would rather be alive and charged than dead and legal.

For what it’s worth I posted a bit of a rebuttal on the Daily Mail website (under ‘wiccaman’).

I also wrote to Rosie Cooper. No reply so far.

Tim
I have watched all the interviews regarding the incident of being banned in the UK. I am sure you know this but it bears repeating. The Liberal press is just frothing at the mouth to take any thing you say and misconstrue and twist it to their advantage. As a matter of fact, if you would take any words that you teach so well, for example asocial violence, and change that to progressive liberalism, you will see thay they will use that tool without regret to finish you when it comes to this issue. They are not looking to learn , be educated, or compromise.
Your intent is honorable, theirs is to foist their agenda upon the world at all costs.
Please don’t give in to mindless interviews, where they will take every every word you say and poison it , and then feed it back to the world as news information, which the poor thoughtless masses will absorb as the gospel, because it came from a “major News Source”.
You have the knowledge to pull a punch not to kill some one, they couldn’t care less and are looking to destroy you.

Don’t be so annoyed about that. You do have many good co-workers who can take and do the training in England for the people here. I don’t think they can harm TFT that much by disallowing Tim Larkin from coming to England. One of your fans.

Seeing that Home Secretary May is tasked with the National Security of Great Britain, and feels that Tim is a threat to that security, Tim must therefore be considered, in some regard or other, a terrorist when in Great Britain. If this is so, then, in regards to Tim’s vested interest in training British civilians how to defend themselves, those civilians that have been trained by Tim, or may seek training, must be considered terrorists or potential terrorists themselves. Thus, according to Home Secretary May, Great Britain is full of terrorists, and therefore has become a deplorably corrupted and violent state under her watch. Or, maybe she’s just using Tim as a political tool to further her career, possibly because her performance thus far requires such ignoble tactics in attempt to distract a public whose intelligence she continually and relentlessly underestimates.

UK article on TFT ban.

“The far-right party approached former US Navy Seal Tim Larkin to teach “ultimate violence” – including how to kill with a single punch. Larkin – who uses the slogan “Fight to kill, fight to survive” – spurned the offer after learning of the BNP’s racist politics.”

When has any TFT instructor or Larkin himself ever said any such thing or use that slogan?

Where do they get this crap?

Living in the UK I feel very disappointed in this decision. Unfortunately the UK lags behind on everything and then has to play catch up,mainly when it’s too late.People have the right to protect themselves and their loved ones,drugs are prevalent in the UK and an attacker under the influence of this wouldn’t feel pain,this is where a system comes in that deals with life of death situations.good luck.Regards

I tried to post a message earlier but the system crashed.

What is happening in Britain is typical.

While criminal gangs go around shooting at will as well as stabbing people to death and burning towns down, see the London riots of last summer, the police, social services and politicians ignore it and refuse to discuss the crisis we are facing.

Yet the ownership of air rifles by responsible adults is more or less prohibited.

There is an agenda that the British Government is following, that seems to be what most people I speak to think.

Apologies for what the morons in government have done in banning you. We are not all like that, only the chosen few.

Good luck, and I’m sure if they won’t let us see you in Britain, they won’t be able to stop us watching you online.

I am a 35 year old british born and bred. Am I surprised by this decision by the government, not at all. Our entire legal system favours the criminals as much as violence favours them. When I was a 125lb 17 year old kid I was surrounded by a group of 8 skinheaded thugs intent on cutting me to shreads with broken bottles. The polices 1st response was to arrest me (whilst I was in hospital, as the nurses must report injuries sustained in a violent manner) as I freely admitted that I struck the first blow. Apparently I should have waited to be struck first before I could claim self-defence! Didn’t matter I had already had to dodge someone attempting to stick a bottle in my face. Ultimately I unsurprisingly got kicked with steel toe-capped boots half to death and had my face cut to pieces. Hey but at least they couldn’t manage to find the other guys so they had no-one to press charges!
I recommend that british people support tim and follow his teachings by all methods available to us as the more of us that do will deminish the power of the thugs and more importantly may well save your life one day as you may not be as lucky as me. Lucky yes, I survived, how/why, I was fortunate enough to see a drain (through the blood pouring in my eyes) large enough for me to get my head in that prevented the continual rain of blows from steel feet hitting my skull!
I for one am going to follow this course and am eager to give tim any assistance I can from within the U.K. to get this stupid decision overtuned.
