I saw that but I was more intrigued why you referenced a statistic based upon the MI5

watch list which clearly is extremely confidential and not publicly available.

A better statistic might be Prisoners in Custody for Terrorism Offences (as of early 2025) which totals 266 people of which 61% are of Islamist extremist ideology and 30% of extreme right-wing ideology.

That is a better justification for your position but also shows that far-right extremists are also a significant threat.
