You’re right there are nuances in it. But again, my point was referring to the white supremacist terrorists in America, who were, believe it or not, all white and all right wing.
Terrorism can be categorised in many different ways. Politics, religion,, nationality, colour, etc. All valid metrics depending on what you’re reporting on.

I’m not sure terrorism can be categorised by colour. People refer to Islamist terrorists, not brown ones.
For arguments sake if over 5.5% of those white terror suspects are radical Muslim converts then Islamist terror (without a percentage of those ‘black and others’) will dwarf all other causes and no doubt read as the biggest threat to the nation in an opposing paper or report.
It amazes me the mob in Washington didn’t all get killed, shame

Yeah, that’s the sole reason he got voted in by the majority, all those decent folk amongst them 
People want change, I can see why people voted for him, make America great again, jobs, import taxes for starters, there were good amongst bad. He had an opportunity and did not deliver
I wish we had someone with bollox but more level headed i would vote for them today!
What are we going to have, another ****ing muppet after another walking the same old road

Either way he is still a billionaire. A sad, pathetic little billionaire that needs the approval of others around them constantly and sees life as a popularity contest.
I’ve said it over and over. He cheats at golf so he has no self respect and no one should respect him.

Sad demise?
You make it sound like he was a decent bloke who's gone downhill. This isn't the case. He got elected by telling racists it's ok to be racist, banging on about building walls and muslim bans, and threw a few gallons of petrol on the sad little fire that was the world of conspiracy theorists with the cobblers about Obama's birth certificate.
He was a self-obsessed buffoon when he won, and he's now a self-obsessed buffoon of a loser.

So facts are now colouring to suit a bias? Okay then little buddy.
Tbh I’d say telling someone that they have a constant need to seek approval is an insult, especially when it’s very far from the truth.

I haven't insulted you, not in my last post anyway, just said you colour to suit your bias. That's not an insult that's my opinion.
@Scozza. That's a good appraisal. The Americans got fed up with the same old politicians, tried someone new but his personality was just too OTT so they've ended up with another same old politician but this one is very old and doesn't like us very much

I can’t understand why people are shocked if I’m honest, he has just brought to the top what was already there, a massive divide, the USA is a complete mess, too big too soon
Whilst I must admit some of his polices made total sense to me, on reflection the flip side of the coin is the controversy. He had an opportunity to make positive change and blew it like a complete amateur. One word, dictator, and dictators have one thing in common, they get overthrown
Sad demise really

Funnily enough I’m not looking for anyone’s approval or to agree with me. I also agree with you. It’s their problem and it’s sad for them.
Me stating it is a terror attack or an attempted one, at least, is just a fact and maybe a knock on the head of those that are playing it down as if it was nothing.
You could have had the last word if your little insulting assumptions weren’t so far off base. You’re a lover of insulting then running away hoping people don’t defend themselves

but i wont engage in your pathetic tit for tat tinhead
Good that will allow me to have the last word for a change.
The reason we will hardly agree on anything is our mindsets.
I see Trump as a bad loser and in desperation making a last attempt before he goes. In a few weeks time he'll be gone, for that reason I see it as America's problem and for them to deal with. When i talk to others they have a similar opinion, it shouldn't be happening but it is.
You on the other hand due to your hatred of Trump like to colour it to satisfy your own bias. That's up to you but don't expect a vast amount of forum members to suddenly appear on these threads and agree with you.
Thank you, I'm done

Unexploded IEDs? Maybe. There certainly weren't any uneaten hotdogs - did you see the state of them?
Did the three dead just keel over after heaving their massive fascist arses up all those steps?

Because the people that stormed the Capitol were right wing white supremacists? the proud boys as they call themselves.
Just an observation about the attempted terror attack in the US. not that it will ever be reported as such due to western interpretations of a terrorist.
If you fancy reading solely about the UK a document called Terrorism in Great Britain: the statistics was published in March 2020 by Allen & Kirk-Wade. A briefing paper for the house of commons. Google it and you shall find it.
A direct quote from the document (page 25)
"in 2018/19, of those arrested for terrorism-related offences: 41% were reported as white, 36% of Asian appearance, 12% black and 10% other"
but i wont engage in your pathetic tit for tat tinhead. play that with yourself
