White people make up largest proportion of British terror arrests
Whites are a larger portion of the population than non-pinkish people.
People recorded as Asian do not make up largest proportion for first time in 13 years, data shows
Eh> The Guardian really wants to publish that?
The proportion of suspects recorded as white by the arresting officer increased by four percentage points to 38% in the period, while those deemed to be from an Asian background fell by seven percentage points to 37%. The proportion recorded as black fell by two points to 9%.
Asians are what percentage of the population?
Presumably, the police have been instructed to crack down on “far right” groups – which tends to give our radical enriched bretheren a bit of a breather.
“Presumably, the police have been instructed to crack down on “far right” groups”
Agreed. Since the ropers grabbed the baton from the IRA, this otherwise doesn’t really pass the smell test.
What’s the ethnic breakdown of those convicted of terrorist offences? What’s the religious breakdown?
Far right terror is a phantasm designed to quell the majority populace. Just like all the pearl-clutching over the almost entirely imaginary ‘backlash’ against Muslims after yet another atrocity.
An increasing number of the white terror arrests probably relate to derogatory comments made in social media on transgender persons
Small numbers. Total terrorism related arrrsts seems to be less than 100, despite 650 ongoing investigations. A slight bending of the meaning of the word terrorism probably explains it all.
“Asians are what percentage of the population?”
Depends on what you consider ‘Asian’ – the normal definition that (Chinese/Japanese) or the media definition (anything from Egypt all the way to Malaysia.)
Given what the police can interpret as a terrorist offence, not surprising. Whites will figure proportionately higher because they treat the enrichment with kid gloves.
But the figures missing are the numbers of prosecutions & convictions. Virtually zero for those of the pinker hue.
Although that may change. A prolonged terrorist campaign is virtually the only thing left to successfully oppose the British political class.
“Asians are what percentage of the population?” Nobody knows, I’d think.
“Depends on what you consider ‘Asian’ – the normal definition that (Chinese/Japanese)”: that’s not the normal definition, unless you are a Yank.
“The proportion of suspects recorded as white by the arresting officer …”
Why aren’t they allowed to self identify?
Asians are what percentage of the population?
Maajid Nawaz puts it at 5%.
The Guardian’s message is clear: You white people should be afraid of white people.*
*Ignore what you see and hear.
MC: What’s the ethnic breakdown of those convicted of terrorist offences? What’s the religious breakdown?
Ah! You want the figures that the Guardian thought not worth reporting?
Of those convicted as opposed to arrested, 33% are white and 46% are “asian”.
Rather than religious breakdown, there are numbers for “self declared ideology” under which heading the rankings are
Other – 6%
“Extreme Right Wing” – 13%
Islamist Extremist – 82%
““Depends on what you consider ‘Asian’ – the normal definition that (Chinese/Japanese)”: that’s not the normal definition, unless you are a Yank.”
Depends on what you mean by “normal definition”, dearieme. For most Brits, up until comparatively recently, “Asia” was China, Indo-China, the various island states head down towards Oz & Japan. What are now described as Asians – Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis etc were generally referred to by the catch-all term “Indians”,corresponding to the sub-continent & adjunct territories ruled by the Brits during Empire days. Including them as “asians” has only entered into common parlance in the last couple of decades, thanks to pressure from the PC mob.
As so often, the english of the “Yanks” is more reflective of reality than the British perversion of the language..
Similarly, 85% of arrests for all crimes in the UK are of men (660,000 to 120,000), but only 50% of the population are men.
What would you be expected to conclude from that?
That not enough men wear dresses?
Actually, would be interesting – if there were enough to gain decent stats from – to see whether mtof trans have female crime rates, ftom male. Would be an interesting test of he basic claim, that they’re really f and m, wouldn’t it?
I recall quite a few Islamists over the past decades or so have been white converts. Bit sly to report suspects as white/Asian, when the real debate is Islamist terrorism.
““Depends on what you consider ‘Asian’ – the normal definition that (Chinese/Japanese)”: that’s not the normal definition, unless you are a Yank.”
It may be controversial but I’ve always considered Asian to mean ‘from Asia’. Asia is the largest continent by a long way so it’s a pretty broad brush.
‘from Egypt to Malaysia’ – Egypt is entirely in Africa, which I don’t think anyone disputes, and borders Asia (although I’ve just looked up and seen that it is defined as trans-continental, as our definition of continents are debatable, particularly when it comes to Europe) but Malaysia is definitely Asia. I can’t see what the issue is. Asia goes a lot further East than that….
If a muslim does something bad – rape, murder etc they are described as “Asian”. Do something good and they are described as “muslim” It’s a rule that the bbc /guardian rigidly sticks to. Nothing bad must be said about muslims or Islam – otherwise you’re a racist islamophobic bigot.
@NiV – oppression by the matriarchy!
Actually, if we did have a matriarchy, there’d be far more women in prison. Nothing the ladies hate more than other ladies.
True MC, the wife likes reality shows that have some competitive nature and always comments that all female alliances never work out as they all turn on each other
I’d imagine a lot of them are for being involved with ‘National Action’ which was proscribed for being a terrorist organisation even though they’ve never, as far as I know, carried out any violent acts.
They just had to build up the numbers of white people arrested to please the Guardian types.
Proper Asians make up about 6.9% of the UK population (ONS: “Asian: Total”, 2011). The Asians represented by these terrorist statistics make up about 1.9% of the UK population (ONS: “Asian: Pakistani”, 2011)
“Would be an interesting test of he basic claim, that they’re really f and m, wouldn’t it?”
That depends on whether the difference is due to innate biological tendencies, or culture and social circumstances.
Crime is associated with poverty, being abused/neglected, dropping out of school, and availability of a support network. Is it possible that women don’t commit crimes as much because economically and culturally they don’t need to?
I know I’m going to regret asking this but, NiV, are you deprecating male protection and support of women?
Crime is also associated with low IQs and high aggression. Men are more aggressive and as a group have a broader spread of intelligence, more geniuses, more thickos.
Two current cop shows on British TV (Bodyguard, No Offence) both feature ‘right wing’ terrorism, though Bodyguard appears to be turning into a political conspiracy.
“I know I’m going to regret asking this but, NiV, are you deprecating male protection and support of women?”
No, I was only commenting on the ‘guilt by association’ fallacy implicit in making these sorts of connections. Most criminals are men; most men are not criminals. Most terrorists are (were) asian; most asians are not terrorists.
However, since you bring the subject up – no, but I’d deprecate the same protection and support not being granted to men.
MC: Careful now, mentioning Greater Male Variability is a thought crime.
@NiV
You’re missing the point of course.
“The men of my own stock,
They may do ill or well,
But they tell the lies I am wanted to,
They are used to the lies I tell;”
If there are lots of white terrorists then why import Asian ones?
We don’t need them. We don’t want them.
I’m currently reading “SJWs Always Lie” by Vox Day. It’s a little self indulgent but there’s a lot in it which sheds light on how SJWs act and think.
Certainly when reading it, the arguments put forward by the likes of NiV and Spud make more sense. Not the arguments themselves of course. They often defy logic and reason. But the actions of the SJW can be understood. SJWs Always Lie.
“Certainly when reading it, the arguments put forward by the likes of NiV and Spud make more sense.”
Clearly not, if it’s given you the impression I’m SJW.
“As so often, the english of the “Yanks” is more reflective of reality than the British perversion of the language..”
Oh balls. To use the language of “until comparatively recently” their Asians are largely chinks, ours are largely brown jobs.
“Similarly, 85% of arrests for all crimes in the UK are of men (660,000 to 120,000), but only 50% of the population are men.
What would you be expected to conclude from that?”
That the members of some groups (let’s call them “A groups”) are more likely to also be members of other groups (call them “B groups”). Men more likely to be criminals, Asians more likely to be terrorists.
With such information we can make useful decisions (build more prisons for men than for women) or non-useful decisions (redefine terrorism so that the proportion of Asians involved seems lower).
“With such information we can make useful decisions (build more prisons for men than for women)”
Julie Bindel no doubt has that one at the top of her list.
