The National Laughingstock: Say, These Islamic Terrorists Don't Seem To Like Women Very Much
That's Sexton's headline (except for the National Laughingstock bit). His article noting that, in the 24 hours after the latest mass butchery, the media feels it can make observations it will begin denying after 24 hours have past, is worth reading.
A commenter pointed to this New Normal: Good news: The UK is investigating terror. Bad News: They're investigating terror hate from a columnist who urged her fellow Britons to not be cowed but to stand up to terror.
Police resources are being diverted to investigate that even as PM Theresa May ups the terror threat level from "severe" to "critical," telling the country another attack is coming:
Maybe that has something to do with another story from a commenter: In 2016, the Manchester police were forced to apologize for offensive stereotyping when they conducted a suicide bombing drill featuring, quite realistically, a "perpetrator" shouting Allahu Ackbar before detonating his mock suicide belt.
That about wraps it up for the UK then, eh?
Oh and by the way, David Corn was deeply upset that Donald Trump resorted to calling terrorists "losers." Mustn't damage the murderers' self-esteem.
