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.

Oh no! That means my entire premise is dangling on whether Meibion Glyndwr still exist or not!

But surely that's just a plain bagel with sesame seeds on? Only a sub-class of plain, not a new flavour.

It's your typology, you can put things wherever you like in it :-)

Nice weaseling...

I get paid to argue that things aren't really what they look like at first glance :-D

So does that exclude poopy-seed coateds too?
