Insurance companies are in the market of assessing risk, this makes them a good place to find the likelihood of certain events like terrorist attacks.
So what do you think their opinion is on the likelihood of a terrorist attack on say the Isle of Wight, or Southend on Sea. The cost of insuring an average high street retail outlet against terror attack in Southend is around 70 quid a year, that's 3% up on last year. This makes sense, Southend is a den of iniquity. If I was going to take my life with a rucksack I'd be more than happy to wipe out the insult that is Clare's Accessories from this modern day Sodom.
What about the equivalent in the Isle of Wight. How active are Al Quidea on the Isle of Wight? Not as much as Southend it would seem, it's a snip at 55 quid. Worryingly though the premium is up 4% on last year. Perhaps they know something we don't.
Has radical Islam taken a hold, or perhaps more likely, are they predicting the rise of an Isle of Wight separatist movement?
Have the pensioners organised themselves into sleeper cells that are becoming active then getting tired and becoming napping cells and then snoozing cells and then countdown watching cells with a cup of tea and a biccy. 55 quid is sounding like a bargain.
