Why doesn't it?
Because the graph's intention is to suggest this is nothing new to mainland Britain when in fact it is.
What makes it worse.
I interpret the graph from 1998 onwards (post peace process and Omagh bomb). I do that with the awareness that the data beforehand is (both from a geographical and group responsible) irrelevant when comparing the threat to today and mainland Britain. From there things have been getting worse. You do it using the numbers from the UK. I say again those numbers are irrelevant.
Also, as has already been mentioned this is a different type of threat where targets are arbitrary and no warning is given.
Yes it is. But risk perception of it involves many variables.
