This perfectly reasonable enquiry was referenced by Andrew Selous MP at the very beginning of his talk at Dunstable this evening. The MP expressed his concern about the well-being of the illegals being housed in the hotel which shows he doesn't care about the safety of the long term native residents of the town.
Folklore on Friday: The Toadmen of the Fens
The Toadmen of the East Anglian fens were not some swamp dwelling creatures from a sci-fi B movie but an essential feature of rural life until as recently as the 1930s.
These living treasures of fenland farming were able to tame even the wildest of horses. It is said that a horse under the control of the Toadmen would remain completely motionless and would resist all attempts to make it move. But these were no mere horse whisperers, indeed their name itself points to a much darker secret.
The name ‘Toadman’ is said to derive from their elaborate rituals. One account describes them catching a live toad which was then pegged to an ant’s nest. The ants would eat the toad’s skin and flesh leaving only the bones.
The Toadmen would then keep the bones in their pockets until they were completely dried out. Then, on the night of a full moon, they would take the bones down to a stream and place them in the water where the bones would let out a horrifying scream. Soon a certain bone would become dislodged from the skeleton and begin to float upstream. The Toadmen would fish this bone from the stream and use it to make a strange herbal brew; this would give them their power over horses – and the name ‘Toadmen’.
There is historical evidence to show that the services of Toadmen were employed on farms in Cambridgeshire to help with breeding and ploughing. It’s likely that they drew their ‘powers’ from an esoteric knowledge of herb-lore and that the use of ritual helped to keep their knowledge secret. Secret knowledge helps to grant a certain amount of power to those ‘in the know’. It's also worth remembering that people who used traditional remedies would once have been persecuted by the Church for their beliefs.
The demise of the Toadmen was inevitable as diesel powered tractors became widespread and is a sad reminder that we can sometimes forget as much as we learn. It would have been interesting to see what modern pharmacology could have done with the this fenland ‘magic’.

This picture puzzle is a bit of light entertainment but also provides a learning experience about the rich history of our region.
The structure in the photograph still exists somewhere in one of the six counties which make up the Eastern region. Can you identify the building and where it is located?
No prizes for this!

One bold PA activist took it upon himself to deliver over 100 of our 2066 and Love your Country leaflets in Luton at the weekend.
There are some areas of the town where the native White British are in single figures - e.g. Bury Park where according to the 2021 census fewer than 5% of the population is White British. Therefore selecting where in the town to deliver PA leaflets needs careful planning and some courage.
Luton is a sign of things to come if we do not push back against the corrupt and treacherous politicians of all parties who have allowed this to happen.

More coverage of PA's engagement in Dunstable last week. Andrew Selous, the local MP, showed more concern for the plight of these fighting age male migrants who have travelled through several safe countries before arriving on our shores, than he did the heartfelt and valid concerns of local residents.

Folklore on Friday: Norfolk's Hidden Treasure
Gresham is a small village on the north Norfolk coast, close to the highest point of the county. Folklorist William de Castre wrote in 1920 about a stone cross that stands at the spot where four roads meet on the boundary of this parish and Alymerton. Underneath it is a subterranean passage which runs from the ruined castle at Gresham to Beeston Abbey. In this passage a golden image, shaped life like a calf is said to be hidden.
It is also said that 60 years previously a “cunning man” had been hired by an old lady to search for this golden calf. A pit was sunk in her parlour not far from the cross, but the excavations began to undermine adjacent land, so a stop was put to further digging and the treasure remains to be found.
The golden image shaped like a calf is an echo of the Bible story of the Israelites and the golden calf. It is the archetypal example often used by preachers of idolatry which was an accusation often levelled at Catholics by early Protestants and like other such traditions this one may be based on anti Catholic rumour.

Today's demonstration against mass immigration in Skegness was another amazing display of what nationalists can achieve.
Well over 400 people were in attendance and PA speakers were joined by a number of locals.
This event passed off flawlessly with no violence and not a single counter demonstrator in sight! In fact it was such a model event I would bet that the mainstream media completely ignores it.
This is why they don't want us on Twitter, because footage like this would give hope and inspiration to millions across both the UK and other Western countries.
Thank you so much to all those who attended and to all the PA organisers and activists who helped make the day such a resounding success.

A bit later than expected but better late then never. Here is the video footage of the recent joint Eastern - London protest against the grooming sessions at Tate Britain (Feb 11th) where a mentally disturbed man dressed as a woman thinks it is acceptable to read stories to young children. Even worse is that the owners and management of this revered institution promotes this appalling behaviour.

The last Sunday of each month sees a hike somewhere in the region. This weekend a team of our activists enjoyed a walk along the River Stour, between the smallest town in Suffolk, Clare and the medieval village of Cavendish.
These settlements became immensely wealthy during the 15th C thanks to the demand for fine quality Suffolk wool which was sold all over England and the near continent.
Join us on our hikes and see some of the splendour of our rich history and beautiful landscapes of our Eastern region.
