Jade, of Huntingdon, Cambs., said: “It was a horrible thing to say as...

Dr Anastasia Filippidou, Lecturer, Centre for International Security and Resilience, Cranfield University Another tragic attack in a major city. The attack follows the familiar pattern of unsophisticated, high impact attacks, as we have seen in Nice, Berlin and Ohio State University. There is nothing new in this approach. From ancient times, terrorist attacks involved lone attackers – the Sicarii for instance – inspired by one doctrine or another, using just a dagger. The difference now is the scale of the...

If you go to the Horror section of your local bookstore today, you won’t find books by Stephen King, Mary Shelley or HP Lovecraft; instead, you’ll find a stack of newspapers from the past couple of years. Okay, that’s not quite true—let’s just call it an alternative fact—but it may as well be.

We spent the rest of the day in a contemplative blur; heads down, keeping up with the news, quietly sharing new information as the afternoon's events unfolded. I left work and went to the theatre with my friend. We talked about the...
