"you have produced nothing to support a significantly lower figure."
There are no figures to produce - MI5 do not give such information and nowhere is it shown that the figures have risen - that is your invention.
Lets get this straight - in 2006 the figures for terrorist threats were 2,000 - which includes all the 'suspects' I have given IRA, spies et al (according to MI5 head), left and right wing organisations - and those who are routinely listed as a risk, - mustn't forget Mrs Thatcher's "Enemies Within" the Trades Unions.
What happened to those 'suspects - were they arrested, were they found to be safe, do the security forces still have them under surveillance, are they roaming free despite the fact that they are a security risk?
But most relevant WHERE ARE YOU GETTING YOUR INFORMATION - HAVE YOU BUGGED THE CIA HEADQUARTERS?
You are a moron Keith, and the fact that you continue to invent "facts" to make your Islamophobic case makes you a lying moron bigot.
Syria is a wonderful example of your moronic attitude - you open a hand-wringing thread about what was happening in Homs, when thousands of citizens were being cut down by sniper fire you explain how it was OK to sell Assad "only sniper bullets", you suggest it would be acceptable to sell him riot control equipment, you oppose suggestions that Britain arm the opposition and ignore the Chinese/Russian veto, and you appear surprised that the Syrian people have turned to the only people who are prepared to help - the Extremists.   
You are an inarticulate clown who is unable to maintain a coherent argument and make two statements relate to one another.
If you have any idea whatever what how many suspects there are, produce your sources or go away and take your nodding dog with you - he is becoming as pathetic as you are.
