london is a world city. with visitors from every country on the planet and residents drawn from 270 nationalities, and speaking 300 languages. those killed and injured included londoners, but also people from the united states of america, from romania, france, south korea, italy, china, australia, greece, portugal, germany, poland and ireland. what happened a fortnight ago leaves us bewildered. what could possibly motivate a man to hire a car and ta ke motivate a man to hire a car and take it from birmingham to brighton to london and then drive it fast at people he had never met, couldn‘t possibly know, against whom he had no personal grudge, no reason to hate them, and then run at the gates of the palace of westminster to cause another death? it seems likely that we shall never know. no doubt, it was an imitation of the attacks in nice —— nice anne boleyn, but what on earth did he hope to achieve? —— nice and berlin. such random acts of aggression are nothing new. we are reminded of the death of t
