Truly I will be settling down with a beer later to laugh heartily at, er I mean learn more about this new Messiah.

Martial Arts Should be Taught in Schools
25 May 2008
Dear Site Visitor
There has been a recent interest by the Government in knife related crimes. Using only a martial art cross block a knife can be taken off an attacker with ease. Similarly, Elvis Presley used to show ways developed to disarm attackers armed with guns.
Instead of increasing the sentences for knife crimes and building more prisons we have a cheap alternative. The Government can instead ensure that self defence is taught in schools. We do not want to end up like the United States where one percent of the population are in prison and teaching self defence is a way to seriously reduce violent crimes.
Self defence in schools would also drastically cut the number of rape victims, at present 30% of women have been raped, which leaves mental scars for life.
Yours faithfully

Well that's fucking useless, if I was gonna stab someone, I'd know all the martial arts they knew, since I'd have been taught it at school as well.
Surely the person who tried to stab someone would go to jail anyway, even if they were overpowered?
