Bee stings killed as many in UK as terrorists, says watchdog.....
....“During the 21st century, terrorism has been an insignificant cause of mortality in the United Kingdom. The annualised average of five deaths caused by terrorism in England and Wales over this period compares with total accidental deaths in 2010 of 17,201, including 123 cyclists killed in traffic accidents, 102 personnel killed in Afghanistan, 29 people drowned in the bathtub and five killed by stings from hornets, wasps and bees.”

Whilst the killing of this soldier is horrific, and we must do all we can to prevent more incidents like this, using this incident as a dog whistle to incite fear and over-reaction is playing into the terrorists' hands.
