London’s police chief is celebrating diversity.
Not the diversity of her city, or of the United Kingdom, but the diversity of the victims of the London Bridge terrorist attack.
Incredible as it may seem, Commissioner Cressida Dick thinks that the victims came from all over the world is one of the things that “makes our city so great.”

“In terms of our witnesses that we’ve spoken to so far, out of the 300-odd people, there are about 20 different countries of origin. And the London British population comes from all kinds of backgrounds and every kind of faith and ethnicity,” she told the Associated Press.
“We believe of course that that’s what makes our city so great,” she said. “It’s a place where the vast majority of time it’s incredibly integrated and that diversity gives us strength.”
Twitter did not respond well:

Interesting, however, that while the victims may have represented “diversity,” the attackers didn’t.
