Woman has small bruise on arm in stop presses exclusive: http://tinyurl.com/ycluyygu

It wasn't all about that bruise though.
There's clearly a lot more to it than we are reading on the BBC. Probably it involves a lot of alcohol.

That is grim.

I get the feeling it's a troubled place, Cromer, this incident aside. When I visited the church there it had a big board up about its outreach project to help tackle the drug use among the young people in the town. I guess it is like many such seaside places - not a lot to do and not many prospects outside of seasonal tourist stuff. IIRC correctly Norfolk has one of the highest ratios of registered drug addicts per capita in the country.

The alleged perps were from outside and according to the BBC they are now in Colchester, Peterborough and London and a rape has been linked to the disorder.
The local MP has demanded the Chief Constable explain why there were no arrests.

Which is why I said 'this incident aside' after linking to the article explaining where the troublemakers came from.
Such a shame. It's a lovely part of the world and lovely, friendly people. :(

It looks like a lack of effective coppering.

Not sure it would have prevented the assault on the poor girl but in the town trouble, that certainly seems a factor.

The report you linked suggests the police attended a number of incidents and resolved them. What more do you want?

Something other than the 'woefully inadequate' response as reported in the Graun.

Blimey didn't know that, only been to Blakeney(been to couple of nice places in Suffolk, Aldeburgh and Stowmarket).Must be on outskirts of big towns, people rave about the unspoilt villages, rural life and all that. There's plenty of drug use in pockets on the edge of my town too.

Police 'got it wrong'.

If only they spent as much time on doing the job as making excuses and apologies.

A bit off topic, but I reckon I would be depressed if I lived in Norfolk, it is so flat. We lived in Cambridgeshire for six years in the 80s, I can't say I liked that county much either, although it wasn't as uninteresting (imo) as Norfolk.
-
Uninteresting? You can't have gone far. There are some incredible places - I'd live there like a shot If I could.

We have been all over the county and that was how I felt about it!
-
Great place, but I doubt if I could settle there, miss the smoke too much. Also too many white people for me. OMG, is this racist?

I live near both and although I find the flatness of the Fens unsettling Cambs is an interesting landscape. Norfolk on the other hand is stunning. The coast, the Broads and Breckland are fascinating and my heart breaks every time I have to leave it and come home.

Hmmmm - I thought I had posted about this earlier but it's not showing. So my twopennorth worth is this:
BIG SKIES.
Much like Lincolnshire Norfolk has BIG SKIES.
If you don't get that - there's no point me trying to explain it.

Yes, one of the best things about living in the east are the skies.

Lincolnshire is another county I like.
Philip Larkin moved to Hull because he said he liked being far away from city life and loved being on the edge of things - in effect the empty edge of England. So do I. The Norfolk edge, the Lincolnshire edge, parts of Essex ... I'd pack now if I could.

Yes I love Lincolnshire - not got there as much as I normally would this summer which is a shame. :(
