    Updated 22 minutes ago
    Policing powers were stepped up in Thetford on Thursday as the Norfolk market town braced itself for further disorder.

    Arrests were made on Thursday morning after a female police officer was “seriously bitten” and crowds attempted to storm homes linked to alleged asylum seekers on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings”
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c74g1gxvwlvo
    “Witnesses reported a crowd of more than 200 people on Clover Way, with eggs and rocks thrown at houses and chants of “we want them out”.”

    “Whatever our own individuals views on immigration – mob rule and vigilantism is not acceptable.”

    The Home Office has been contacted by the BBC for comment.

    I do not know whether this bBC clip has been posted. The lady is Arday’s head of dept. What a fawning idiot. Arday is not the problem it is the sytem which encourages and feeds this false intellectualism. The bBC assists by ensuring the control of the environment in which the false intellectualism thrives.

    If Arday is sharp enough he should turn King’s evidence and work to correct a rotten system.

      Assessment of radio trends by kelvin mackenzie ….

      Kelvin MacKenzie • @kelvmackenzie • 12h
      Astonishing numbers from GB News radio who have seen their audience jump by 34% to 731,000 in a year.
      The latest Rajars also show that hours for the station (it’s the important trading currency) leaped an amazing 78%.
      Times Radio did very well (up 7%) but Virgin Radio continued its painful decline (why don’t News flog it?) and Talk Radio crashed
      21%.
      Talk’s shocker will be due to Mike Graham moving his breakfast Show …

      Cranebridge has historically been a fast breeder location of terrorist activity. So where would our WEF King want to visit in the city? Here are the Glasgow airport bombers:

      Kafeel Ahmed studied for his PhD in computational fluid dynamics at Anglia Ruskin University (historically known as Anglia Polytechnic University) in Cambridge/Chelmsford, UK

      Dr. Bilal Abdulla: An Iraqi-trained doctor and the central operative/co-accused in the attack. He was a passenger in the Jeep Cherokee packed with gas canisters that rammed into the Glasgow Airport terminal on June 30, 2007. He was convicted of conspiracy to murder and sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of 32 years

      . They (Abdulla and another medic found not guilty) had spent time in Cambridge and had historical connections to Addenbrooke’s Hospital.

      Our King visited the Cranebridge shiny new mosque recently.

      The other side of town had a more sadder story. A Christian run wholefood warehouse was closed down including for not filing tax and guberment reports when required. No royal mercy there.

      Daily bread cooperative

      https://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/news/cambridge-news/award-winning-cambridge-food-shop-26940350

      Then there is the closure of a food growing coop CoFarm

      Almost as though food was being put under pressure but Islam supported.

    230,000 non-EU migrants have been handed social housing….and not one journo is expressing any shock at that figure…and how many EU migrants have such accommodation? Instead we have the reaction that the BBC’s Justin Webb gave….’So you’re going to throw single mothers who work for the NHS out of their homes and create enormous pressure and instability for them and destroy the NHS….’

    Hmmmm….that’s despite, as the BBC itself admits…

    ‘The vast majority of social housing lettings are given to single people. ‘

    So why would Webb choose a highly emotive example that doesn’t reflect reality?

    The point of view is solely from the eye of the migrants rather than British people who have been robbed of the chance to get a home of their own…they may themselves be single mothers working for the NHS.

    Any wonder we have a housing shortage when migrants are taking over the available housing.

    DEI Entertainment in Ivory Tower Land – It is possible to feel a bit sorry for him (Professor Jason Arday), I suppose…..

    He’s been dogpiled and mocked mercilessly online. Claims of running 30 marathons in 35 days, 300 miles in three days, and/or 600 miles in six days (later revised to 12 days including rest) – and more amazing achievements in life……

    It immediately made me think of a truly ancient meme – The Fence Post Tortoise

    When you’re driving down a country road and see a turtle balanced on top of a fence post, that’s a post turtle.

    You know he didn’t get up there by himself.

    He doesn’t belong up there.

    He can’t get anything done while he’s up there.

    And you just wonder what kind of idiot put him up there in the first place (and usually feel a bit sorry for the poor thing).

    Harassment or some crime like that edition

    Official Ministry of Justice speeches and historic parliamentary records confirm that over 3,000 new criminal offences have been added to the UK statute book since 1997. Some independent political tallies put the number closer to 4,300 – thank you A.I.

    No wonder even our top cops can get a bit confused about what’s a crime and what’s not a crime these days.

    Met Police boss admits mistake over plagiarism row… Sir Mark Rowley has admitted his force “dropped the ball” when it spent four months investigating a journalist examining claims about a University of Cambridge professor embroiled in a plagiarism row. (BBC) – that’ll be Jack Grove of that scurrilous and divisive far-right adjacent rag the Times Higher Education Supplement

    Mind you, our Sir Mark has some form when it comes to clashes with journalists: Met Police chief Sir Mark Rowley was ‘in a hurry’ after throwing Sky News journalist’s microphone… coming out of an emergency COBRA meeting with the prime minister on the riots that have been going on for six days across the UK (Sky News, August 2024) – I’m guessing he had the hump after Two-Tier Sir Keir had just given the police a bollocking for not locking up enough Twitter users.

    Now he’s gone all mea culpa over our black Billy Liar kerfuffle: When asked by broadcaster LBC if he should apologise to Grove, Sir Mark agreed and said the complaint should have been “screened out earlier on as not requiring investigation… A report came in of harassment or some crime like that…” (BBC)

    I’m oddly put in mind of some old school card trickster’s patter: “Pick a crime, any crime, don’t tell me what it is”

    Here’s an unexpected turnaround – it wasn’t those plagiarism accusers who were racist – it is instead Cambridge University itself that’s racist: Cambridge ‘unleashed grotesque racism’ with Arday appointment… according to academics calling for… an independent inquiry into the affair (Guardian) – the solution – given the above premise – would seem to be the obvious way to avoid racism is not to employ black people.

    Hey, Sir Keir, how’s that turbocharged A.I. economic renewal workin’ out fo’ yer?

    Prime Minister sets out blueprint to turbocharge AI… Artificial intelligence will deliver a decade of national renewal, as part of a new plan announced today (13 January 2025). (Gov.UK)

    Meanwhile in the real world…

    Recovery powers WPP… shares in the advertising group have surged… overhaul showed signs of bearing fruit. It had axed thousands of jobs and invested in AI heavily (FT)

    Another Wuhan lab-inspired Lockdown in the offing?

    AI makes synthetic virus… Scientists have used AI to create viruses unknown in nature… raises key biosafety and biosecurity concerns (FT)

    Have our cops just banned the burkha?

    Arrests in Thetford as disorder continues for third night… Norfolk Police has imposed public safety measures in the town, including requiring people to remove face coverings (Neve Gordon-Farleigh & Orla Moore, BBC – riding tandem on the cut and paste on this one)

    Arrests were made on Thursday morning after a female police officer was “seriously bitten” and crowds attempted to storm homes linked to alleged asylum seekers on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. (BBC)

    And there we were thinking it was official policy female constables ought not to be differentiated from their male counterparts in any way.

    I’m oddly put in mind of my favourite comic line from the movie Shaun of the Dead. Simon Pegg’s character Shaun calls his mother Barbara during the zombie outbreak. When he asks if she is hurt after some people try to get into her house, she casually replies, “Well, they were a bit… bitey”

    Can we get a bit more focus on this biting issue: The force said… “…a female officer was seriously bitten, breaking the skin.” (BBC)

    Nasty. So, have the cops banned the burkha? Norfolk Police has imposed public safety measures in the town, including requiring people to remove face coverings if asked to do so or face arrest. (BBC) – Phew, not a blanket ban then. Two-tier discretion can still be exercised.

    Also in the news

    Major disruption on railways in northern England after Manchester power failure (BBC) – someone hereabouts already cracked the obvious gag about Andy Burnham and a Mancunian power failure.

    Speaking of which: No 10 aides show blokey Burnham the red card… told to tone down his “blokish” videos by No 10 media experts (Times) – this from the expert team that created that phenomenally successful statesmanlike media persona for Keir Starmer.

    Blokish Burnham? I think he comes over as less the macho Top Gear presenter and more the David Brent.

      Our daily example of two-tier policing.

      Thetford ‘illegal’ disorder. “Those who break the law” arrested versus, those who daily permit conspire to aid and abet thousands of “illegal” migrants to enter this country.

      Where is the balance between both illegalities? Pray tell me police? “Policing by consent”………….what a joke.

      I think we are about to reach a time when there will be a daily announcement by the Home Office as to precisely what the police will enforce / tackle that day. Shoplifting etc etc

        Thetford – looks like the authorities have been rubbing the locals noses in it, by handing out much sort after council houses to, in the recent past EU immigrants and now to asylum trash.
        With a side order of a proposal to use the former RAF Barnham military base, 2 miles away for housing up to 1,250 asylum seekers…

        I been through the town before, it’s centre it’s absolutely littered with colossaly fat, mostly old, loudmouthed East Europeans.
        I guess the polish plumbers and fruit pickers all brought their parents here to claim incapacity benefits and pension credits, before they themselves returned home.

        No wonder the locals are fed up.

      The police and the BBC are making a big deal about a female officer being bitten, obviously something which nobody would condone. It will be interesting to learn the name of the person who is or will be charged. The way it is being reported is to make you think that she was bitten by one of those awful Far Right ™ protesters. Which might well be the case, but there again might not be. The BBC do have form when it comes to ambiguous reporting of such matters.

      Ashers Baking Co. (UK / Northern Ireland): In 2014, a Belfast bakery refused to bake a cake with a “Support Gay Marriage” slogan. The UK Supreme Court ruled unanimously in 2018 that the refusal was not discriminatory, stating the objection was to the message, not the customer’s sexual orientation

      Masterpiece Cakeshop (US / Colorado): In 2012, baker Jack Phillips refused a custom wedding cake for a same-sex couple. The US Supreme Court ruled in 2018 that the state civil rights commission showed hostile bias against his religious beliefs, though it left broader questions open. Subsequent related challenges for custom cakes in the state have also seen further legal action.

      Reminiscent of a statement by former Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone in September 1986. During a speech to junior members of his Liberal Democratic Party, Nakasone stated that “the United States’ average intelligence level was lower than Japan’s due to its population of Black, Puerto Rican, and Mexican Americans”.

      Such racism is truly shocking, and not at all borne out by IQ tests and stats. Not at all. At all, at all. Never. Nowhere . No way.

Yet for all Starkey’s pessimism, he implores Britons to recall their duty and find the courage to fight for a civilisation that is worth preserving.”

      “But in the past two weeks, Arday’s near-mythic (or perhaps purely mythic) tale has disintegrated. In July, a philosopher named Nathan Cofnas published a long Substack post reviewing apparent evidence of plagiarism in Arday’s academic work. Cofnas posted 36 passages from Arday’s 2015 dissertation, about student teaching, which reproduce or closely track text found in a 2009 dissertation from another scholar in the field, Paula Zwozdiak-Myers. Arday looks to have even copied from and rearranged Zwozdiak-Myers’s title, and in doing so to have misused an apostrophe.”

    NHS consultant retires at 86 after 60-year career
    “I thought it’s a wonderful system, the National Health Service, and I fell in love with it.” 29 July 2026 BBC

    …………

    UK as supporting all other countries….

    “Dominic Raab, the UK foreign secretary, announced last July that there would be a cut to the UK’s aid commitment because the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the UK economy means that gross national income (GNI) would be reduced. News then came in November that the overseas aid budget would be cut to 0.5%, from 0.7%, of gross national income (GNI) in 2021. To be clear – this is a cut on top of a cut. We have now been informed that the health project in Bangladesh which we implemented with partners and the Bangladeshi government, has been terminated.”
    https://www.concern.org.uk/news/uk-aid-cuts-sledgehammer-blow-our-health-project-bangladesh

    The project was a part of Government of Bangladesh’s National Health Strategy, and the government is unlikely to be in a position to quickly fill the gap created by the sudden withdrawal of this work.

      “It’s not a mystery… it’s a fucking disaster for UK taxpayers!

      The offshore test site was originally built with about £42 MILLION of our money (with no MP vote), then sold to a developer for £2.4 million as it failed, and the project company has now been sold on for £1. ONE POUND!

      This is how “de-risking” works. The taxpayer takes the risk! And a lucky bank / investor buys the assets.

      ▪️we fund experimental infrastructure.
      ▪️Government declares it world-leading.
      ▪️Private developer promises a green revolution.
      ▪️Economics & science prove it’s a failure
      ▪️Project collapses.
      ▪️Foreign engineering giant picks up the remains for £1.

      Rinse and repeat. They just think you’ll never notice. Er …. I do!”

      Isn’t Sadiq Khan in Singapour?

      “The trailblazing 32MW TwinHub floating offshore wind project off Cornwall was sold by Swedish developer Hexicon for just £1 in April 2026 after its government-backed revenue contract was terminated. Singaporean marine engineering group Seatrium was later revealed as the buyer.”

    The hole into which the Cambridge PE teacher ( what he really is ) is getting deeper as offended academics look at his ‘real ‘ qualifications and not the fraudulent ones ….

    But nothing good will come of it – the DEI is too deep …

    Why?
    “The Red Cross deleted a promotional online film from 2016 featuring an Afghan migrant named Sharif Ahmadzai. The organization removed the video after Ahmadzai was arrested and accused of murdering a Scottish aid worker, Jeanette (Jane) Ross, in Athens, Greece, and hiding her body in a suitcase.”

    “3 October 2025 Supporting children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send) in England will cost the government an extra £3bn a year by 2029 if the system is not reformed, a think tank has warned. The government is already spending £12bn this year on supporting those with Send, a figure that has risen by 66% in the last decade.”
