Islamic State threat as assessed by British political candidates.

[LordKenwyne]

I was minimising the threat because the threat is indeed minuscule. In addition to statistically having more to fear by being mowed down and killed by sozzled criminal drivers, we are also statistically a great deal more likely to win a million quid playing the lottery as Camelot reckons 347 Britons became millionaires in 2016. All I'm doing is adding some much needed perspective. If more people turned off their TV and switched on their brain they'd figure it out for themselves.

The threat isn't minuscule though.

GIVEN THE CHANCE

Acting level headed, as you are doing, is fine in some circumstances. Helpful. This isn't one of them.

And by the way, drink drivers mainly don't directly wish to kill others. It is sheer idiocy but there we are.
