The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

A bit of too much of an obsession.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

It's one thing to have an interest in weapons, but what I believe is a dangerous obsession that that little boy had.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs

And obviously that obsession led to him stabbing to death that poor lad on the streets of Southampton.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

But the actual weapon that was used at the time was actually called a peshtar, which is a Persian stabbing dagger.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

It was used in the Persian days to pierce armour.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

It looks like a zombie blade.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

It's massive.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

It wasn't a karban at all.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

So that's one bit of misinformation that's out there, why I believe that people are jumping on the bandwagon to criticise the karban and Sikhs wearing the karban so much.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

But what I'd also say is if you have a look at the history with Sikhs and the karban in this country,

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

There's never been one incidence of that qurban being used in violence.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

It's never happened.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

You know, more people have been killed from being hit or assaulted with a stiletto.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

More people died from circumcisions.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

A qurban has never been used in the hundred or so years the Sikhs have been here.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

And because I believe that the media and the judge have brought the kurban at the front of this argument, I believe they've tried to use that to try and scapegoat the police's actions on that day, to try and move the blame over to the Sikhs and take it away from the police officers for their heinous behaviour when it comes to the arrest of Mr Henry Novak.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

The five Ks are the five symbols of a Sikh when they become a baptised Sikh.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

I wear the gudda, which is a steel bracelet to remind you that you're a Sikh.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

You keep it on your right hand, it reminds you daily.

The Dozen with Liam Tuffs
Sikh CHALLENGED Over Carrying Weapon: Should UK Ban The Kirpan?

On my long journey down here, you know, I always drive one arm up.
