It also depends on total populations. E.g WW1 killed 1% of the involved population, whereas the English Civil War killed 5%. The Battle of Towton killed 1% of the population in a single day!

Not a caveat Silly cares for as it doesn't tell the right nonsense he is trying to claim.

While a lot of what they do is secret, the highlevel work they do is published. So on MI5's official website:
- Islamist terrorism is the most significant terrorist threat to the UK by volume. Most of the volume is made up of individuals that have "self-radicalised" (i.e. they have not been groomed or directed by a group) and this makes these attacks harder to detect and prevent. The motivation is generally a radical interpretation of islamic scripture or perceived greivance narratives against "the west". There is also an ongoing threat from overseas islamic terrorist groups.
- Northern Ireland related terrorism continues to be a threat. Some dissident republican groups continue to attempt terrorist attacks mainly targeting security forces.
- Extreme right wing terrorism is again mainly made up of self-radicalised individuals with the greivance narratives are varied, wide ranging and often overlapping.
- Left wing/anarchist/single issue terrorism makes up the smallest proportion of their workload.

Doesn't gutterboy's intervention actually undermine your argument than non-religious wars are responsible for more deaths?

I'll say this to no-one specifically...it is going to be an almighty shock (for some) to one day realize how little we all really know about anything, how little can actually be properly rationalised, and how many things cannot be as easily changed as it might appear.
I've said this to several people close to me -family and friends- that I realise I now know less than I ever thought possible at such an age; that is because I spent the first 50 - odd years thinking I knew more than I ever did.

If we weren't discussing how many people died and were discussing something else then yes.

He's pointing out that as a % of participants the religious wars were sometimes higher no?

This is such a good observation/thought.

No, he is not, he said consider the possibility. And again it was not the point I as responding to. You can't move conversations to suit your narrative. It's disingenuous.

Such nice lads they were, never did harm to their own - even offered protection to local businesses to keep them safe. Salt of the earth.

They dodged their military service and ended up going to prison for that, which might not line-up with flag shaggers' agendas.

Here's a more positive spin on UK multiculturalism.

I have been challenged by readers to write something less depressing about the state of the country.samf.substack.com
Edit: I would urge everyone interested in this topic to read Empireland (Sathnam Sangera). Excellent book.

I know statistics are poorly understood and are misused. But facts matter Between the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them

Call it faux outrage. I think one of the countries oldest institutions covering historical architecture in a celebration of vandalism, gang territory marking and "couldn't give a f*ck" attitude is just further evidence for many people of everything in this place being driven to the dogs. I agree with him.
