Terrorism & bagels

[bunn]

Today in passing I said to an American: "In Britain we have more flavours of terrorism than we do of bagel."

Then I wondered if it were true.

British Bagel flavours I've encountered: 
Cinnamon & raisin
Plain
Onion

Total: 3

British Terrorism flavours (not personally encountered, drawn from news).
IRA
Unionist
(I think you can count both, even if unionism isn't really a terrorism on the mainland?)
Islamic
animal rights extremists (I don't think they have actually killed anyone, but the most extreme actions *probably* count, as being designed to induce terror?)
Meibion Glyndwr (??? still current?  Are Meibion Glyndwr still burning the odd holiday cottage?  They definitely don't kill people though, not sure they count)

Total: 5, sort of.

I don't think Mebyon Kernow count, not even the ones that deface English Heritage signs.  That's just graffiti.

We need to determine the prevailing social attitudes of bagels. Are they liberal, or are they prone to racism? I rather suspect the latter, actually - they seem rather dull and straight-laced. So I suspect that a plain bagel would look down horribly at an onion bagel, and want at the very least to segregate it, or, at worst, to go to war with it.

(Sanity? Who needs sanity...)
