The latest polls show jihad candidate Jeremy Corbyn spiking in the polls. Should the Brits elect that Nazi then in the words of the late, great NYC Mayor Koch, — “the People have spoken … and they must be punished.”
Britain is country worst affected by terrorism in EU, study reveals

Britain is the country worst affected by terrorism in the EU, according to an authoritative study of the its impact worldwide.
Story continues below advertisementThe Global Terrorism Index puts the UK in the top 30 of the world’s 168 nations, ahead of France, Germany, Belgium and Spain as well as Sri Lanka, Iran, Russia and Israel.
Afghanistan has overtaken Iraq as the nation worst affected by terrorism followed by Nigeria, Syria and Pakistan, according to the analysis of a database logging 170,000 terrorist incidents worldwide.
Turkey is 16th and the USA 22nd.
The UK – at 28th – is the highest placed in the EU, based on the analysis of the data by the think tank Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP).
It cites the rising threat from the new IRA as a key contributor to Britain’s high ranking as well as Islamic terrorism although it also warns of a significant rise in right-wing terrorism and a growing threat from women radicalised by Isil.
“There has been a growing trend of increased female participation in terrorism, although still a small percentage of all attacks,” says the report.
The IEP calculates the rating on a scale of 0 to 10 weighted according to the number of deaths and incidents tapered over five years, with 2018/19 accounting for 52 per cent of the score, down to seven per cent in the first year.
The UK’s score of 5.405 includes the 34 killed in four high-profile attacks in 2017 while France at 5.008 has fallen six places to 36th despite the 2017 Paris attacks which saw 130 killed including 90 at the Bataclan theatre. By contrast, Afghanistan scores Iraq scores 9.6 and Iraq 9.24.
As with other European nations, the UK has seen a decline with the terror threat level reduced from severe to substantial, which means an attack is “likely.”
The number of deaths from terrorism in Europe fell for the second successive year, from more than 200 in 2017 to 62 in 2018, of which 40 were in Turkey.
However, terrorist groups were increasingly using women for suicide attacks as they were more lethal due to their ability to evade detection by security forces more easily than male suicide bombers.
Worldwide there was a 450 per cent increase in the number of female suicide attacks between 2013 and 2018, from four to 22. Between 1985 and 2018 there were 300 suicide attacks involving at least one female, claiming the lives of some 3070 people.
“Terror groups may choose to include female suicide bombers due to their potential to conduct deadlier attacks,” said the IEP.
Writing in its report, Michele Conninsx, the UN’s director of counter-terrorism, said groups like Isil understood the importance of appealing to women and had been “very skilful” in doing so by tailoring their messages to them.
These included “messages of female empowerment and agency” to entice Western women to the conflict zone with almost 7,000 travelling to Iraq and Syria. “Women were not simply portrayed as mothers and wives, but as agents of change in creating and shaping the global caliphate,” she said.
2018 was also the year when Taliban overtook Isil as the world’s deadliest terrorist group. The number of deaths attributed to the Taliban rose by 70 per cent, to 6,103. Deaths attributed to ISIL fell globally by just under 70 per cent, from 4,350 in 2017, to 1,328 in 2018.
IEP highlighted a “worrying surge” in far-right political terrorism over the past five years with a 320 per cent rise in attacks, largely by individuals rather than terrorist groups. The number of deaths linked to far right terrorism has risen from 11 in 2017 to 77 so far in 2019, largely in Europe and the US.
Richard Walton, former head of the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command, said the terrorist threat had reduced but warned: “We have still got a serious problem around extremism and are not close to preventing radicalisation effectively, particularly within parts of some of our Muslim communities.
“Until we achieve this, a reduction in overseas threats will not be matched by a lowering of the threat from within the UK.”

please N-O. NWO will get their foot into it. NO. NO. NO. NO.
i’m 58 years old and I miss my old country. I don’t recognise my Australia any more. All I see are Sudanese terrorising Melbourne and every man and his dog up to no good and finding loop hole to get away with murder and what not. terrible terrible. I’d hate to be 80 years old into the future that’s for sure. My old St Peter’s church was bought by muslims and have turned it very bad. they have more rights than me.

England has definitely gone to the dogs. Look at BRF with PA?
Globalisation/immigration/asylum seek welfare benefits/overcrowding western countries/too much money going to building roads/flats being built with Chinese cheap cladding. All this just doesn’t work.
Factory jobs gone to China.
Chinese ‘interests’ in Australia. What next?
Frankly I am disgusted.
Who invited muslim migrants in anyways? what good came out of that – all I know these people are pushing for child brides; halal food; islamisation; marrying outside of their faith and seeing new wife dressed in garb with first name Aeesha.

You can thank evil Tony Blair, lying Gordon Brown, spineless Cameron and the Muslim loving Theresa May, who as Home Secretary just waved them in and then as Prime Minister went out of her way to accommodate their every demand. Fortunately, that traitorous witch has no more power. Now you have a jihadi supporting London mayor, a Labour leader, Corbyn plus his shadow Home Secretary, brain dead Dianne Abbot, who if they were ever to be in power, would openly encourage every minority and more Muslim parasites into the country.
Although Boris Johnson is now PM, He is not strong enough to do anything. All the UK politicians are weak, plus they are all terrified to criticize this evil cult that is destroying everything that made Britain a great country. Until Britain has a strong no nonsense leader the situation will only get worse, unfortunately.

Pardon my skepticism (it’s got a life of its own now), but is this like a “seed planting” operation. Get it out there/keep it in the narrative, use T-imoth-y Ma-cvay and school sh–ters as a talking points, just make sure “wh-ite sup-remists” are seen as just as prevalent and just as dangerous. Then when common sense folk have had enough and do start to kiss back, the blame game can catch fire with one major (biased) news report (this is by no means new – examples all throughout our history of same tactic). One thing these guys aren’t is bad at planning and anticipation.
PS. On a side note, this site used to show up in my regular inbox. Then it started only showing up in my junk folder and I was unable to move it (same with responses to my posts). Then it stopped showing up anywhere and I’ve had to access it manually ever since. Now comments to my posts don’t appear anywhere and I have to go back to the article to even see if there is a response. Anyone else experiencing this or can tell what has happened

It doesn’t take a degree in rocket science to understand the link between virtually open borders and increased criminal and terrorist activity.
Britain has no one to blame except themselves.

Probably fake polls. Why in the world would he spike now? I don’t believe it.
