London is less safe than Europe - discuss

[SueEllen]

Wat was the point of endless troubles and blowing people up when as we are now, we are all largely borderless and EU and one big Country now?

When I become a religious fanaticist I will be able to tell you.

I used to lived in the most republican area of the north of Ireland.

I found your comment "In regards to the IRA read up on Irish and also Scottish history it's not hard to find sources of information on the web." humorous to say the least.

Glad I amused you.

Now explain to a child why people they have absolutely nothing to do with keep trying to blow them up.

And by child I don't mean teenager.

Yeah, it's "idiotic" until it is you or your kids who become the victims.

There are places where the risk is much higher - London is one of them.
What you argue here is a manifestation of a defence mechanism - you are in denial.

Actually dumbass I'm what's called a realist.

The UK media and government have spent a great deal of time (14 years or so) and money ensuring the mindless public are living in perpetual fear of the "terrorist threat". I guess it's working.

Average number of deaths per annum by terrorism? Wait for it.

5

You literally have about as much chance of winning the lottery with one ticket.

Is that per hour, per day or what?

Good point.

The 5 deaths per year is from 2012. Since then the number of terrorist murders globally has trebled. Number of deaths per year doesn't necessarily indicate the risk of terrorism.

It's a pretty damn good indicator of the risk of being killed by terrorists. Nonetheless we're arguing semantics.

Could you be killed by a terrorist? Yes. Is it likely? Very not.

If you're looking at deaths in the UK, then look in the mirror. Suicidal people are far bigger killers that suicide bombers.

I think we'd be hard pressed to find any cause of death which is less likely tbh, barring the occasional Darwin Award winner.

Just shows how effective all this anti-terror legislation is then, doesn't it.
