FAMILIES TARGETED: Damage caused to a house on Bracken Road following disorder in the village of Thetford in Norfolk
A“RACIST pogrom” in Thetford has seen thugs storm homes they suspect of housing refugees and attack police, an anti-racist group warned on Friday.
Police bracing for further violence have warned that those taking part in the disorder will face “the full force of the law,” with two more people arrested on Thursday on a third consecutive night of unrest in the Norfolk market town.
People have attempted to storm homes linked to asylum-seekers following proposals to convert a former military base just over the border in Suffolk, RAF Barnham, into asylum-seeker accommodation for up to 3,750 people.
Officers were “subjected to significant aggression” on Wednesday, with one hit with a rock, one bitten and another spat at.
Two officers were taken to hospital.
Michael Bradley, of Stand up to Racism, told the Star: “The violence in Thetford amounts to a racist pogrom.
“A violent crowd has attacked homes and forced those they think to be asylum-seekers out of the area.
“This is the fruit of years of scapegoating and racism, by mainstream politicians and the media – stirred up and promoted by the far right.”
Climate science denier Nigel Farage explains that it’s simple to blame asylum-seekers or Muslims for everything.

Nigel Farage is scathing at the £250,000 cost to the taxpayer of his unnecessary and ridiculous Clacton-on-Sea election campaign that he caused to avoid scrutiny and acccountability for the £5MILLION ‘gift’ that he didn’t declare.
REFORM’S pledge to crack down on employers for hiring people without legal residence in Britain is a bid to get back on the front foot.
The scandal over Nigel Farage’s wealthy sponsors refuses to go away, and together with a fresh face at Number 10 has cost Reform its top spot in opinion polls.
Plan A, to reassert his greater popularity with the public than the mainstream parties via a staged showdown in Clacton, has gone badly wrong. Since nobody at Westminster would play ball he can triumph only over various unknowns and joke candidates, which will prove nothing.
So Zia Yusuf has been deployed to announce Plan B. It too is meant to showcase Reform’s anti-Establishment credentials. Prison sentences for corporate bosses who hire illegal labour. Crippling fines, up to 10 per cent of global turnover.
This is a sinister policy. But it isn’t stupid. The impunity of a boss class who routinely break the law is a source of genuine resentment.
It is why contracts-for-cronies and Covid lockdown breaches by the Boris Johnson gang brought down that premiership.
It is one reason the conduct of privatised water companies is so explosive.
Excrement-strewn beaches, unsafe drinking water and the discharge of huge volumes of raw sewage into rivers are outrageous enough as it is — but the knowledge that the CEOs in charge receive salaries in the millions, that the flow of dividends to shareholders is as constant as that of filth into our waterways, is incendiary.
Reform hopes to tap into hostility to corporate fat cats. It pretends to champion working-class Brits: “Corporate CEOs have been making a fortune by hiring illegal workers and undermining British youngsters. Reform will jail them and stop illegal working for good — we will stand up for British workers.”
It will not, of course. Reform would repeal the Employment Rights Act, stripping millions of rights to sick and holiday pay. Farage says the minimum wage should be cut for young workers.

Nigel Farage’s Clacton by-election fight will cost taxpayers an estimated quarter of a million pounds, an official has suggested.
The Reform chief is facing comedy candidates including Count Binfance in next week’s vote after major political rivals boycotted the contest. They accused him last month of a political stunt last month for triggering the vote amid a Commons probe over a £5million gift received from a Thai-based crypto billionaire.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today, chief executive of Tendering district council, Ian Davidson, said the ballot paper with 34 candidates was just under a metre long.
He said: “We’ve got 34 candidates, which is the most number of candidates any parliamentary election has ever had. And the ballot paper is just under a metre a long. The cost of actually printing, running, and posting things like that is about four times the cost of the General Election where we had five candidates.”
