Further breakdowns are not included in the statistics but this section would include arrests relating to suspected far-right activity.
Does it involve strapping bombs to yourself and killing 10 year olds? -

Maybe the Irish are back at it?
Or more worryingly people are lurching to the right because they are unhappy with the way the UK is going?
But if you look at it in context 87.2% white 4.2% Asian the Asians are a little over represented in the terrorism figures at just under 50%.
United Kingdom Demographics Profile 2018
133 were white and 129 were recorded as Asian ethnic appearance.
Police and the security agencies say they are pursuing an unprecedented 650-plus "active" terrorism investigations.
Counter-terror police senior national co-ordinator, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Dean Haydon, said: "We may have seen a reduction in the number of arrests in the last 12 months, but we should put that in context by saying that we prevented 13 Islamist-related and four extreme right-wing plots since March 2017, so it certainly doesn't indicate a reduction in the threat we all face from terrorism.
Of course this is arrests not sentencing, so it may just be the Police are picking up a few grandmothers to even the numbers up like stop & search?
One does wonder if this has anything to do with it?

There's a distinct whiff of lowering the bar for the definition of terrorist activities to make a political point. How often do you hear 'kippers described as "far right"?
I would reserve judgement.Comment
