i love how videos are played off as a nothing burger. live on location videos are uploaded every day of many parts of london and england. but not in the area i was in or the shops that i was in is always used.

 

one can get a decent idea of an area or city by watching the plethora of videos online in today's world.

For which you have evidence?

I see you've had plenty of examples of Islamist violence provided to you already, so I don't need to add any more. It's pretty amazing that all these incidents manage to pass you by. 

Actually I'll show you one more, in case it still hasn't sunk in:

Yes, blunder. You attempted to rectify it by adding " been identified".

 

I asked "how do you know?" in reference to you saying none of your friends have committed terrorist attacks. 

 

So, I ask again. How do you know none if your friends have never committed terrorist attacks?

So on the off chance that a friend is a terrorist and hasn’t been caught and identified.

 

I’m sure these kind of pedantic thought games play well in a class of 13 year olds, but hardly the stuff of adult discussion.

Because it’s a really ridiculous question.

 

There are almost 8 billion people in the world, perhaps a few tens of thousands are terrorists; I have a handful of friends and a few dozen social contacts.

 

The conditional probability of those friends being terrorist and not having been identified is minuscule.

 

I trust you didn’t teach math, let alone conditional probability.

The laws of probability doesn't say anything about impossibility. If everyone used your calculations, many would be surprised to find they are in the minority.

 

This is a thread about Britain. Please use British English.

 

Please tell how you know none of your friends have never committed a terrorist act.

Because I have a handful of friends in the UK, all the perpetrators of terrorism in the UK have been identified and their identities published.

 

Non of my small number of UK friends are amongst them.

 

I’ll use whatever‘English’ I choose, provided it does not break any of the forum rules.

 

But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

 

The probability of zero is a thing.

Expand  

I agree with all of that EXCEPT the rant about Brexit. Best thing to happen to Britain since the EEC decided to go political IMO. IMO the EU is a vile organisation with a cabal of decision makers that answer to no one.

They can't even secure their borders- useless pack of wombles.

That's not the correct question IMO. I think the real question is would any of them commit a terrorist attack if they had the opportunity?

Well if thats true then the UK has got a rough deal as 43,000 of them are on terror watch lists in the UK alone.   This is probably not the true picture either as fighting aged men have been arriving in the UK in the thousands over the last few years without passports or any ability to carry out background checks on them.  

 

On the bright side though we can all rest a little easier in bed tonight as a "far right sticker putter upper" has been given a 2 year jail sentence for (and this is not a joke) putting up stickers which did not break a single law, nor incited violence and said such things as "its okay to be white", or "we will be a minority in our country by 2066".    The "far right" clearly are flexing their muscles and should absolutely be mentioned in the same sentence as Islamist extremists who do not carry out such atrocities as putting up stickers, preferring instead to blow up arenas and kill kids, or beheading ex servicemen on the street.
