    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.

    But yet you can be critical of UK Laws and blatantly disregard them, and call for Sharia Law in your suburb if not actively enforce it, and yet you are alright.... hmmm

    UK-"Union of Komunism" showed their stupidity....again.You can be robbed at knife point in London,so you can't get lessons in self defense technic from renown expert
    It's becoming very hard for white Christian educated people in the Wast(UK).In the same time UK doesn't do much about this:

    An estimated 85 Sharia councils could be operating in Britain, according to a 2009 report by the think tank Civitas.

    Been happening for years with IDF members and even Israeli parliamentarians because of their IDF service.

    Are you saying that the UK blocks Israelis from visiting because of prior military service?

    The self defense situations he's talking about probably require urgent violent action. He's just being honest. Sounds like his rhetoric is a little scary for some people.

    I don't think there are official bans for Israelis that served in IDF, but there are open warrants for arrests for former IDF officers, ministers/political figures and heads of security/intelligence posts for "war crimes against Palestinians."

    Our country, our rules. We don't have to let him in. Listening to him on the radio, I wonder how much he really does know about the UK. He seems completely unaware that we have three legal systems, completely unaware that you can defend yourself in all three and completely unaware of the fact that you could kill somebody in self defence and not be put in prison in all three systems. If he went to the effort of actually learning a little bit about self defence laws in the UK then I might actually be inclined to listen to him but he's just another ignorant American who thinks he knows more about our laws than he really does.

    Not the gov't itself (they're actually embarrassed by it) but trips have been cancelled or stopped at point of embarkation (before exiting the plane) because of threats of arrest generated by NGOs, claiming the individual's participation in war crimes.

    IDF spokesperson: I traveled to UK under a false name

    This is not the first time an Israeli official has had been caught up with problems traveling to the UK amid fears of being arrested. In December 2009, an arrest warrant was issued for opposition leader Tzipi Livni, who was scheduled to speak at a Jewish charity event in London, over her involvement in Operation Cast Lead, when she was foreign minister. She canceled her trip.

    In September of the same year, an arrest warrant was issued to Defense Minister Ehud Barak, who was in the UK to speak at the Labor Party conference.

    In 2006, Gaza Division commander Brig.-Gen. Aviv Kochavi, who was scheduled to study at the Royal College of Defense Studies in London, was warned by an IDF judge that he could be arrested on arrival. He also canceled his trip. Former Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) chief Avi Dichter also canceled a trip in 2007 (when he was public security minister) out of concern that a warrant might be issued for his arrest.

    A person may use such force as is reasonable in the circumstances for the purposes of:

    • self-defence; or
    • defence of another; or
    • defence of property; or
    • prevention of crime; or
    • lawful arrest.
    What's the problem?
