“Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing?” (Psalm 2:1 KJV) That didn't take long.

In remarks so bizarre and out of touch that satirists at outlets like The Onion would have rejected them if someone had suggested their inclusion in a made-up story, London's police chief has described the diversity of the city's London Bridge terror attack victims and witnesses interviewed as positive things.
