Terrorism vs Air Pollution: An Interesting Perspective

I said this on another thread (paraphrased): An interesting perspective (and not AT ALL to diminish the horrors of last night for all those involved): Deaths by terrorism in UK between 2000 and 2015: 90 Deaths from air pollution last year alone: 40,000Someone wrote, in attacking Labour: "I detect a level of insouciance inappropriate to the tangible danger posed by these terrorist acts, not to mention a callous disrespect for the victims." I changed it to (given that the government is being challenged in court over air pollution): "I detect a level of insouciance inappropriate to the tangible danger posed by these lack of air pollution acts, not to mention a callous disrespect for the victims." 40,000. One year. Worth thinking about,
