Avoidable ill-health of myself or anyone I care about.

I kind of feel that there's not much change that can be brought in the way the country is governed, and I don't agree with a lot of the policies of either Labour or Conservative, but I don't see things changing or any new or radical system of governance actually being voted into power, so the logical conclusion is to accept it and worry about things that are closer to home.

I'm not particularly worried about terrorists, after growing up in N.I.

Yes, Susan (my missus) & I worked out that statistically you had a 1x10^-4 percentage chance of being killed by terrorist action in any given year during the Troubles, which compared to your chance of being run over by a bus were pretty negligible. You'd be more likely to be killed by lightning.

You're probably more likely to win significant amounts of money on the Lottery, which is amazingly unlikely anyway!

terrorists don't frighten me

Global warming does, and planet wide human overpopulation, and crossing the road, and big crowds of people

but if you make me choose, I'm much more afraid of things the government will do than things the terrorists might do.

Crossing the road? Any road or just huge multi-lane ones?
