I wrestled with that idea for a course of action but truth is walting is not a crime and as long as he teaches solid slapping techniques... No one really cares about his strange dressing habits.
Except arrse...
Having said this: do we know that he is currently teaching any real outfits?

It's not his dress, mate ... it's the fact that he markets himself as PARA/SAS when he knows absolutely fukc all about Special Ops [as his handgun techniques clearly show]..

Judo is one thing, but the rest of the sh1tt is entirely different. He's basically teaching people how to get killed by protecting them with a comic book interpretation of reality.

Does anyone have an email for certain foreign Ambassadors?
Hypothetical question, but I might just consider exploring that aspect.

I suspect he had been using that location for a period (i.e a few years) before that film was commissioned for his other antics. As I definately saw pictures of it in or before 91.

SO HE HAD TIME TO REHEARSE!!

"A former colleague of mine from the Hereford area was in attendance, he was at the time still serving, he did not participate and was invited by someone on the shoot, he left in a state of shock ."

"There were live rounds and plastic being used by people that should not be let loose near such weapons, doors were being blown and flying around every few minutes, splinters filled the air."

Just about sums it up really. :(

Baron Castleshot, Walter Mitty and "Chaos Engineer." NATO Should send him to train the Taliban. He could become our new not so secret weapon in the War on Terror.

Point well taken
Still, the issue remains that as long as he is not training anyone official now (the Baltics have wizened up after one demo, I suspect) this is a dead end.
He is teaching bouncers how to use the baton - which incidentally will get them into trouble in Malta and Irish Universities - so that is the focus, methinks.

And, he is a cnut...

So how were they able to do that - you have any idea what the status of IBA was in 1995? What were the laws on opening and operating live-fire ranges in the UK at the time?
And LtL, do you have any other stories you would like to share?

Hi
Regarding the legality of the weapons used that day, indeed the whole day. I can say that questions were asked by interested parties, with “no further action required”.
I was under the impression it was kosher or at least sanctioned from above, I am now not so sure.
I have always found the whole Jim/IBA thing a mystery, how, why, but still he goes on. I suspect not for much longer.
Stories yes I have many, it’s a matter of discreetly delivering them, I will work something out.

OK, ignoring the "history" for a bit ...

1. Is the baton legal? "Carrying an offensive weapon"?

2. Who is HE doing it with? He's doing it all at arm's length through surrogates, like the IBA Pyramid Scheme. HE may not be directly culpable, dammit :(

Why, oh fukcing WHY, don't some Police and revenue Agencies start dancing on his newly-dug grave?

... this cuntt is dangerous ... and possibly only just sane

Upon his return from Malta, the Baron will than conduct:
December 11th-14th, HSE First Aid at Work, United Kingdom
nice!
Well, lets see, oh yes :
http://www.hse.gov.uk/firstaid/training.htm
"The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 require that in order to provide first aid to their employees who are injured or become ill at work, employers must have adequate and appropriate equipment, facilities and personnel. Regulation 3(2) states that for this purpose a person shall not be suitable unless he has undergone:

* such training and has such qualifications as the Health and Safety Executive may approve for the time being in respect of that case or class of case, and..."

hm... maybe the drop-out nurse has someone who can run the course for him...
but than there is:
"It will be expected that providers will run a first aid at work course within three months of receiving provisional approval and conduct a minimum of six first aid at work courses during each year of approval."
Oh dear, IBA is only doing one in 2008?
Is that right Jim? Or did you find time in your busy schedule for more but couldn't be arrsed to advertise them on the web?

Shitt, thatt's shortt nottice ... whatt a shame.


Too late to wake up the relevant Gummint department in UK?

Does anyone know

1. Who the accredited first aid trainer is?
2. How much this costs per attendee?
3. Who issues the certificates and under what arrangement
4. Is there anything advertised that certainly isnt in the HSE syllabus, ie IV cannulation or tracheal intubation?

Unfortunately only:
December 11th-14th, HSE First Aid at Work, United Kingdom
and of course:
For further information please contact the Director General directly.

He has been in the smoke-screen business for too long to fall into that trap I guess...

He is just "hinting" at HSE like he is just "hinting" at SAS etc...
