"Your happy clappy deluded view of the world is not born out by the statistics. The greatest threat is from Islamic Jihadis."

The greatest threat is from American foreign policy and has been for decades. And, in the interests of balance, the UK (with the honourable exception of Harold Wilson, who refused to be bullied into the Vietnam war by Lyndon Johnson) has been serially complicit. This is not to excuse in the slightest the depredations of Islamic jihadists, but let's face it: without those foreign policy interventions, in the Middle East especially, there wouldn't BE any Islamic jihadists.
