On Friday morning as the EU referendum result became clear, Brighton and Hove found itself out of step with the rest of the UK. While 52 per cent of the country voted to leave the European Union, in Brighton and Hove 68.6 per cent wanted to remain. Caroline Lucas, Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, spoke of her ‘disappointment’ over the result and said Britain was in ‘crisis’. Peter Kyle, Labour MP for Hove, said he was ‘shocked’ and ‘frustrated’, while Conservative Simon Kirby,
MP for Brighton Kemptown, said ‘now is the time for all of us to come together’. Meanwhile in the city, hundreds of people joined the Stand Together event at The Level on Tuesday, to show unity from remain and leave campaigners in the wake of the referendum result. On Wednesday, Warren Morgan, leader of the city council, echoed the sentiment, and said: “The leaders of all three political parties of Brighton and Hove City Council have agreed to work closely together to ensure that the economic and social wellbeing of the city is supported through the current period of uncertainty. “At this point the full impact
oftheUKleavingtheEuropean Union is unknown, but our city has a strong track record of economic diversity, growth and community resilience.” “All agree that the council has a vital role in offering civic leadership and all have pledged to do all they can to work with the business community, universities and trade unions to steady investment certainty and job confidence.” But not all in the city accepted the referendum result – an online petition calling for Brighton and Hove to leave the UK and rejoin the EU – and has more than 2,200 signatures.

Report sets out plans for the future of fairness in the city Angelika Rusbridge
news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy
A report has been released acknowledging the many difficulties the council will face over the next four years. The independent Fairness Commission, formed of 12 individuals, businesspeople and members of the community, released the report on Monday (June 27) and estimated £68m reduction of government grants to the city by 2020. The report states: “For far too many residents the reality of life in Brighton and Hove is a struggle and they are not benefiting from its financial success.” Key areas of focus in the report are: strengthening communities; improving the life chances of children and young people; employment and skills; housing and the Greater Brighton region; and

ageing and living well. Each section includes anywhere from four to 22 recommendations. Some of the recommendations include a call for neighbourhoods to be assessed and compared against a ‘minimum spec’ to have accessible meeting spaces for all, and free wireless internet access to strengthen communities. The report calls for partners and businesses to remove street clutter and improve green spaces, and to develop a ‘strategy of negotiated stopping places’ for gypsies and travellers to help improve diversity and inclusivity. Housing has been acknowledged as an area of importance, with 22 proposals including creating more low-cost ‘meanwhile’ housing such as converted sea containers on dormant development sites like

In total, 91.7 per cent of respondents agreed to strike action, from a 24.5 per cent turnout, with 47,218 members voting ‘yes’.

Adoption services in Brighton and Hove have been singled out for praise by Ofsted in its national 2016 Social Care Annual Report. Sensitive and timely support helped children build trusting and enduring attachments to their adoptive parents, said the report – adding the city is a ‘prime example of what can be achieved’.

College review results revealed A Brighton college ‘requires improvement’ according to a review report. The Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) published the report about City College Brighton and Hove following its review in February 2016. QAA reviewers visited the College, judging that academic standards of the awards it offers on behalf of degree-awarding bodies, the quality of information of its
learning opportunities and the enhancement of student learning opportunities, all meet UK requirements. The quality of the College’s student learning opportunities still requires improvement according to the reviewers, however. It recommended the College create a system to plan, monitor and evaluate resources provided to support higher education programmes and to ensure
the accuracy of information acrossallmediafollowingany changes, and to strengthen and monitor opportunities for students to engage as partners. Reviews are carried out by experts from other universities and colleges, and every team includes a student as the QAA believe students should have a say and be partners in the process to ensure the quality of their education.

Hove teacher receives £10,000 from mystery donor to volunteer abroad Angelika Rusbridge
news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy
A Hove teacher who will be volunteering in Tanzania has received a surprise donation of £10,000. Andrea Mari, a 43 year-old maths and history teacher at the Drive Prep School and lecturer at the University of Sussex, originally hoped to raise £985 to support a year-long placement with Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO). He was stunned when he received a £10,000 single donation from an Italian school friend from 30 years ago, who has since become a partner at a major firm based in Hong Kong. Mr Mari said: “My immediate reaction was disbelief. John Lennon’s song ‘Instant Karma’ came to my mind. “I couldn’t really think of anyone I knew who was able to give so much. “I feel really honoured
Andrea Mari
and motivated – this act of generosity affirms it’s the right decision to join VSO and go to Tanzania to support local teachers. “In addition to the £10,000, it’s important for me to raise
asmuchmoneyaspossiblefor VSO because there are many more volunteers working worldwide in education, health, disability, and employment opportunities.” The donation came
about after Andrea created and emailed a slide show demonstrating problems faced in Bukoba, a rural part of Northern Tanzania, around to all of his contacts. Despite the magnitude of
the amount, the donor wishes to remain anonymous. Andrea is heading to Bukoba to volunteer as a teaching facilitator, to share the knowledge he has acquired in the UK to help train primary school teachers in Tanzania. Andrea said: “I feel very empowered and motivated. I’m looking forward to sharing my expertise with local teachers and to implement child-centred teaching practices which will improve learning outcomes and reduce drop-out rates. “Poverty isn’t reduced by just attending school. “Practices like corporal punishment, repetition and memorisation often make less privileged pupils feel excluded, which creates inequality and perpetuates the cycle of poverty. “I want to help break that cycle.” To donate visit: justgiving. com/andreamari.

‘Ludicrous’ cuts to public toilets criticised A letter by Conservative city councillors calls for the council to keep public toilets open as a necessity. The environment, transport and sustainability committee discussed the letter Tuesday (June 28). Jointly signed by councillors Tony Janio, Dawn Barnett and Nick Lewry, it requests the reversal of a proposed £40,000 reduction in spending. The scheme, dubbed ‘Save
Peter made a ‘massive contribution to the curry industry’
City pays its tribute to ‘curry legend’ Peter Grove Angelika Rusbridge
news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy
Tributes have been paid to Peter Grove, who died suddenly on June 15 aged 74, while on holiday in Gran Canaria with his family. Founder of National Curry Week and the Curry Tree charitable foundation, Mr Grove had a rich and varied career. He represented Essex, the Southern Counties and England in swimming, started his own travel company, delved into the world of sports journalism, made travel documentaries, and was president of The Federation of Specialist Restaurants. A prolific author, he cowrote Curry Culture – A Very British Love Affair, with his wife Colleen, The Flavours of History in 2011, and ran several major websites on ethnic food, drink and sport which generated over one million visitors a month. His widow Colleen said: “I can think of no better lasting tribute than to continue the work he started with National Curry Week and The Curry Capital of Britain. Their role in highlighting the contribution made to the wider community
by the Asian restaurant industry was a message that was very dear to him.” Peter started National Curry Week in 1997 and Curry Capital of Britain in 1999. Yawar Khan, chairman of Asian Catering Federation, said: “He was a great man. He gave me great support and advice. I will always remember him. He was an honest man who made a massive contribution to the curry industry.” Minesh Agnihotri, owner of Indian Summer, said: “It was lovely talking to Peter about our mutual passion for Indian food. “It was an honour to be chosenbyhimtohostthecity’s bid to become Curry Capital of Britain last year. I was also privileged to work with him on his charity efforts. May his soul rest in peace.” George Shaw, CEO of Avocado Media, said: “No one did more for the industry in terms of promoting community relations, raising money and recognising the efforts of leading restaurants. He will be sadly missed.” Mr Grove is survived by four daughters, Samantha and Corrie from his first marriage and Stephanie and Madeline from his marriage to Colleen.
Hangleton Toilets’, seeks to prevent the winter closures of public toilets in Greenleas, considered a basic service which is desperately needed. Cllr Dawn Barnett said: “It’s absolutely ludicrous to think the council are doing this to an absolute necessity.” There is currently a sign up next to the Greeleas facilities, claiming there are alternative public toilets at Grenadier. Cllr Barnett noted that those are also closed.
The letter stated: “The Labour Administration says that there are alternative toilets in Sainsbury’s - which we think is a shameful excuse.” According to Cllr Barnett, the toilets are a necessity for the elderly, who now have to take cars with them to find toilets farther afield,or refrain from going out altogether, for families with small children, football players who pay a fee to play

in the field, and for tourists. She said: “We are a tourist town, and now restaurants and businesses, not all of them, but some, have notices in their windows saying ‘customers only’.” Fears that the closure will result in people going to the toilet in public spaces were also voiced. Cllr Barnett said: “At the end of the day, we will be campaigning to get these toilets opened.”

Angelika Rusbridge
news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy
Hundreds of people rallied in the rain to support a national movement for unity in the wake of the EU referendum. ‘Stand Together: Brighton and Hove’ was held on Tuesday at the Level, as part of a series of similar crosspartisan events, open to all, regardless of their vote. Caroline Lucas, Green MP, could not attend, but her husband, Richard Savage delivered a prepared speech on her behalf. He said: “I know that many people who voted remain will be angry with those who opted to leave. Brighton and Hove’s response – standing
together – is typical of what makes me so proud to represent our city.” He called on residents to unite and work to understand and overcome the alienation created by “using immigration as a convenient scapegoat” and to tackle xenophobia and racism head on. Mr Savage said: “So we say again tonight: we are a city which celebrates the contribution of people from all around the EU and all around the world. You are welcome here.” Other speakers included Tom Druitt, Green councillor, Ben Walters, of Brighton Anti-Fascists, Lucy Robinson, senior lecturer at Sussex University and
representative of the People’s Republic of Brighton and Hove, Michael James Parker, performance artist, Michael Nektarios Inkpin-Leissner, Labour councillor, and Phélim Mccafferty, leader of the city’s Green Party. Cllr Mac Cafferty said: “Yes we need to mourn but we need to organise too. And earlier today I agreed with the other political leaders on the city council that we would do everything in our power to ensure that the economic and social wellbeing of the city is protected through the current period of financial turbulence and political uncertainty.” He ended his speech by stating that “we will stand together”.
Practice ‘needs to improve’ A CQC inspection of Saltdean and Rottingdean Medical Practice has revealed it ‘requires improvement’. Inspectors said patients were treated with ‘compassion, dignity and respect’, the practice had good facilities, was well managed and was well equipped to treat patients and meet their needs. Information about services and how to complain was available and easy to understand. Improvements were made to the quality of care as a result of complaints and concerns.
However, although there was an ‘open and transparent approach to safety’, not all significant events had been consistently recorded. Theinspector’sreportsaid: “There was limited evidence to show that clinical audits had been undertaken and that quality improvement had been demonstrated. There was limited evidence to show that the practice proactively sought feedback from patients, which it acted on.” The health watchdog also saidthepracticeshouldmake sure it records all ‘significant
events’ to maximise learning at the surgery. It also suggested developing ‘an ongoing audit programme that demonstrates continuous improvements to patient care in a range of clinical areas’. It said the surgery should put plans in place to address lower than average levels of patient satisfaction as identified in the national GP survey, and it should undertake regular surveys of patient views and act on the results in order to ensure improvement.

Street clean first of many for volunteers Angelika Rusbridge
news@brightonandhove.co.uk @BrightonIndy
Staff and students of a Brighton university have helped clean up a major road in the centre of the city. University of Sussex volunteers, council workers and local residents, spent Wednesday clearing rubbish and graffiti in Viaduct Road in an effort to help keep the streets tidy and bring the community together. Dean Spears, head of housing at the University, said: “When we heard from the London Road Local Action Team that residents wanted to cleanup Viaduct Road, we took the opportunity to bring them and our staff and students together to help. “Although there are only a few Sussex student households here, we feel very much part of the local community and care very much about the areas around
The clean-up at Viaduct Road
our campus, and the people who live there.” Engagement with nearby residents has increased over the last few years, and the opening of an information centre in Lewes Road in November 2015 has strengthened the bond between the student presence and nearby tenants. The housing team identified the problem area through conversations with people coming into the new
centre, and through the many Local Action Team meetings attended by the university. Councillor Pete West, Brighton and Hove’s mayor, and John Duffy, registrar and secretary at the university, welcomed the volunteers at midday alongside Grenn councillor Lizzie Dean and Gill Mitchell, Labour’s chair of the environment, transport and sustainability committee. From there, participants headed out in pairs to pick up rubbish and clear litter from the street and bordering front gardens, while the council’s City Clean team scoured away graffiti.

Worries over school catchment areas Angelika Rusbridge
news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy
Proposed school catchment area changes have been criticised by a group of worried parents. The council spearheaded a consultation on the reorganisation of secondary school catchment areas for 2018 in anticipation of the University of Brighton’s new free school and the rising demand for places. The possibility that their children may attend a school miles away, despite being able to see two secondary schools – Dorothy Stronger and Varndean – from their back gardens is a chief concern for Friar Road parents. They said the three catchment area options proposed by the council in collaboration with a working party of headteachers, governors and councillors from all parties, did not have an option to say ‘none of the above’, Kieran Barnard, a 40-yearold physiotherapist with three children aged 14 months, six and eight, said: “These proposals do not adequately balance distance and inclusion. We are concerned about the environmental impact, our children’s safety and the effect these changes will have on the transport infrastructure.” Mr Barnard lives a few hundred yards away from Dorothy Stringer and Varndean schools, and said that under all three options children from seven miles away in Saltdean could have access to the school, while in

one option the children would not be able to access either school. He said: “Bussing children past the two local schools which we can see from our house to schools in a different part of the city defies logic.” Citing a scheme led by the council to encourage children to walk to school, Mr Barnard pointed out the possible contradiction if his children were made to take a bus to school, and mourned the possibility that his children would not be able to walk to school with their friends. Another concerned parent said: “We can see both secondary schools from our house and they are just a few minutes walk from my house. “But my children would not
be allowed to go to the Dorothy Stringer under the current three options proposed by the Council. One of three options even denies my children’s access to both local schools.” Road safety for the children is another worry for parents, as numbers for 2011 show 2,412 children under the age of 16 were killed or seriously injured on the roads. Parents have stated that boundaries so close to schools will also have the effect of fracturing the communities they have worked so hard to build. Mr Barnard said: “We understand that there is a problem and we want to work with the council but we just don’t understand how denying children access to
local schools can ever be a sensible way forwards. “We are hopeful that the council will take our concerns on board in the formal consultation in the autumn.” Ben Varey, another resident of Friar Road, submitted a petition to the Children, young people and skills committee on June 6, stating that his community is strongly against the proposal. More than 95 per cent of residents signed the petition, which is a total of 137 people. Councillor Daniel Chapman, chair of the council’s cross-party working group on secondary school admissions, said: “As we stressed from the start of the exercise the ideas put forward and the catchment areas

It’s clear that a lot of our residents have thought very deeply about this issue. “We’re very grateful for all the suggestions, ideas and information the people who
responded have given us. “All this feedback is currently being analysed in great detail by the cross-party working group. “It will help us draw up concrete, street-by-street proposals that will be subject of a formal consultation process in the autumn. “No admissions system will please all parents, but our aim above all is to arrive at a new system that is as fair as possible to as many parents and children.”

Graham Chainey Referendums help to engage the public
B
ritannia locuta, causa finita est, to paraphrase St Augustine. Britain has spoken, the matter is decided. G.K.Chesterton’s “people that have never spoken yet” have finally been heard – though after all the spin, threats, lies, damned lies and statistics, there was a sense of anticlimax in merely pencilling that cross. Much of the recent acrimony may have derived, not just from the momentous nature of the choice required, but from the fact such opportunities for us to voice our opinion are so rare. This was only the third UK-wide referendum. (The first, in 1975, on whether to remain in the European Community, was before many of us can remember; the second, in 2011, on whether to adopt an alternative vote system, has already been blanked out of my memory. There have been nine regional referendums.) Because for so many years – decades – we hadn’t been consulted on an issue of such emotive importance, while decisions were being made over our heads by people with their own agendas, we got over-heated about it.
Orson Welles may not have agreed but do the Swiss have the right attitude when it comes to plebiscites?
By contrast, the Swiss, who have had more than 600 referendums, are able to collectively decide matters of national interest in a calmer and more reflective manner. Just this year, for example, they voted on four proposals in February (including one relating to the Gotthard roadtunnel and one for the expulsion of foreign criminals), and five in June (including one for a basic income and one about asylum law); in September
there will be three more for them to decide. In Switzerland it’s the people, not the politicos, who have the final say on matters such as whether to abolish the army (1989), whether to join the United Nations (they belatedly did in 2002), or even (in 1992) whether to join the European Union (they opted to stay out). It’s easy to mock the Swiss: remember Orson Welles’s gibe? Italy under the Borgias, he claimed, had 30 years of murder and bloodshed and produced the Renaissance, whereas the Swiss had 500 years of brotherly love, democracy and peace “and what did they produce? The cuckoo clock.” (In historical fact, they didn’t even produce that: it was an Austrian invention.) It’s also easy to adulate them, with their neutrality, their democracy, their peaceful integration of four languages, of Catholics and Protestants, their high standard of living, their punctual trains, their hardy independence, their cleanliness. (André Gide, 1917: “What cleanliness everywhere! You dare not throw your cigarette into the lake. No graffiti in the urinals. Switzerland is proud of this; but I believe this is just what she lacks: manure.”) Actually, things are not quite so rosy they
used to be. The Swiss have in recent years been rocked by banking scandals, by wartime revelations, by the collapse of their national airline, by rocketing drug addiction and Aids cases, and (since joining the Schengen zone) by one of the highest levels of immigration in Europe (the far-right Swiss People’s Party has been described as “Ukip on steroids”). There are certainly graffiti in the urinals now, and plenty of “manure”. All this is suddenly, since the Brexit vote, relevant to us. As we look to form new relationships with Europe and the world, can we learn anything from the Swiss model of semi-attachment (they are members of Schengen and the European Free Trade Association)? One thing I believe we could usefully borrow from them is their use of the plebiscite. We need more referendums – not just when it happens to suit party political contingencies. How about one, for example, on whether HS2 should go ahead? Or on whether a new London runway should be built? Apart from anything else, this might enable many people who are currently disaffected from politics to become engaged with it again.

Lead councillor for children’s services
No doubt we will be better off out of EU
F
ollowing the British people’s decision to leave the European Union it’s understandable that emotions are running high. Particularly in Brighton and Hove where the vast majority of residents voted to remain. As the leader of the official Vote Leave campaign locally, I am convinced that over time city residents will see that this was the right decision both for them and our country. One obvious point is that it will take a few years before we are fully extracted from the EU. That gives our foreign diplomats and trade negotiators time to get a good deal that is beneficial to both our European partners and ourselves. Brussels will not want to turn away from £100 billion of additional goods they sell to the UK than we buy from them.
Peter Kyle
Germany will be eager to ensure that a fifth of its car manufacturing exports continues to make there way across the channel tariff free. Let’s take tourism: thanks to a cheaper pound more visitors will want to come here. An independent Britain no longer paying into EU coffers can give some of that money to local authorities to promote their city or region on a world stage. As we put in place new trade deals with those growing parts of the world like India and China new business opportunities will open up for our small business sector, like our thriving digital, financial and creative industries. Our sovereign Parliament will soon be able to set VAT rates fully, meaning zero rate VAT could be applied to some goods and services, like household energy bills. One of the biggest boons for the city will
come in the form of the council no longer having to follow EU procurement rules. . Why can’t we set up our own employment and enterprise schemes locally for young people without falling foul of current EU state aid rules? The ability to plan for local school places, build social housing and provide treatments in our NHS just got a whole lot easier because soon we will have a managed migration policy instead of the unplanned free-for-all that has marked out the last two decades. We on the left have always argued against unfettered free markets, so it was incoherent of Labour to back the ideology of EU free movement. As we get back control of our borders and move to a fairer points based system of immigration, employers in the city will get to pick the
best and the brightest from well over 200 sovereign states, instead of just the 27 states we previously hitched our wagon to as part of the EU. Our two universities, already global, will get to make the case for more non-EU students coming here rather than the artificial restrictions placed on them now. That will ensure we focus on high skills coming to our city instead of the low skills which we know has driven down the wages of indigenous workers. The Remain camp were good at talking up diversity, but in reality, they were apologists for ‘Fortress Europe’ that discriminated against non-EU citizens and refugees. Brexit is great news for Brighton and Hove. A city in charge of its own destiny once again, part of a new federal Britain that is open to the rest of the world.
MP for Hove and Portslade
A mixture of feelings -none of them good
T
he decision to leave the EU left me shocked, sad, frustrated, uncertain, exhausted, and emotional. I met so many people in this campaign and one thing became very clear: expert opinion and evidence counted for nothing in towns, communities and neighbourhoods that have had extended periods in decline. They simply didn’t believe a word that was said by the Bank of England, business leaders, government, Nobel Prize winners, charities, the US president or even the people running the corner shop.
But a few skilled - and almost universally posh - politicians managed to connect and lead this anti-establishment tsunami into a direction that has no hope of solving the problems they experience daily. This is now a problem stored for the near future. I spent so much time campaigning outside of Brighton & Hove because Brighton and Hove make up the youngest, highest educated, most mobile and relatively affluent places to live in the country. It means that we were destined to vote as we did. I am so proud of how we voted. Once
again we dared to be different. Warren Morgan, leader of our council, said that he will fight to keep us an outward facing, European, city. I’m very proud of him. I know that my job is to make sure that this same attitude has a very strong voice in parliament and in public debate too. I will do all I can. The coming months will be very trying and complex. I want those who campaigned for Brexit to be held to account for their promises. I’ve been keeping note. I want them to be brought into government so they can stand at the despatch box and held to account...”

Could the Secretary of State (Boris Johnson) tell us when the NHS will start receiving the £350m you promised, paid for by the savings of EU membership?”.

Making our city a fairer place to live
T
his week saw the launch of the city’s Fairness Commission report. The Fairness Commission was a manifesto pledge by Labour last May, and it was launched in September. So this week’s report is a culmination of months of dedicated activity by the 10 commissioners, the commission’s chair Vic Rayner, and also a huge number of residents, community groups and representatives, as well as local and national organisations, who all care about fairness. People have contributed in so many ways, from attending the commission’s public meetings, to sending in their comments and replying to surveys, to sharing information about the Fairness Commission across the city and helping others get involved. At a very successful event held on Monday at the Friends Meeting House, a large audience listened to Vic Rayner outline the approach of the Fairness Commission and some of the recommendations. Vic Rayner emphasised how this is a report for everyone to get involved in, as it is for everyone, not just some city institutions,
Royal Pavilion
to help deliver greater fairness. The commission had tried to make practical recommendations that could be implemented, and also to point to innovative ideas from other cities. At the same time Vic Rayner acknowledged that the council itself, and other partners in the city, have really constrained funds.
A whole section of the report is titled “Fairer Ways of Working” and Vic Rayner emphasised that in responding to the report it was as important to try to change “how” things are done as to change “what” is done. At the launch Warren Morgan, the council leader, thanked the commissioners for all their work, and in welcoming the report said: “Our aim is to bring the city together, to co-operate and combine resources targeted at helping those in the city who need it most. “It is about people being able to afford to live here, being paid what they need, having access to education and opportunities that means they can fulfil their potential….We will take the time to digest and respond to this report in the same way that our commissioners took the time to prepare it. I challenge this city to do the same, to ask what they can do, to ask what we can do, together, to make Brighton and Hove a better, fairer, stronger city for all our residents.” This is part of my speech at the launch: “The level of public and voluntary sector involvement in this process was unprecedented.
“That many citizens felt they want to help their communities and city is testament to the amazing practical and positive spirit of our city. “The path we have begun to mark out as an administration and as a council is going in the right direction to include everyone in Brighton and Hove’s economy fairly - a one council, one city approach - delivered in and with our neighbourhoods and communities. “The Neighbourhoods, Communities and Equalities committee will provide cross party governance to get to a fairer destination for all parts of the city and all communities within our city. In welcoming this report and thanking participants and commissioners I will pledge to re-double my efforts to keep working cross party to provide a stability and certainty to our staff, partners and residents in these uncertain times.” I look forward to taking this report to committee and for the next steps, and will roll my sleeves up to make the difference that local democracy is best placed to make.

Let us fight hate with warm hearts and cool heads
I
was at the referendum count in the Corn Exchange and early on Friday morning, left sad. I moved here from Ireland and have lived and worked in this country for more than half of my adult lifeit felt that this was no longer a country that wanted other foreigners or me to be here. Over the last few days that feeling has been shared by many foreign nationals who live here. The biggest decision in a lifetime and sadly much of it was built on lies and conjecture; so little of it on accountability and truth. There evidently was no plan; evidenced by the backtracked promises. On a self-interested gamble from the Bullingdon Club, we have redirected the entire fate of this nation. As many people had pinned their hopes on an exit vote in ways that reality cannot possibly live up to, a false hope has triumphed. An already precarious financial situation has been made tougher. On Tuesday the Chancellor of the Exchequer maintained that he would have to “provide fiscal security” in the time ahead. Despite this he won’t take the opportunity to abandon austerity, invest in public services and provide stability. The voluntary sector and the city council alike rely on EU funding to help them deliver their crucial work, yet there is no undertaking that the UK government would replace it. The £730 million a year of EU funding our universities receive will come to an end with no promise of UK government compensation; in a city with two
universities, this could yet represent monumental challenges for the local learning economy. But against this dark context, I am hopeful. In the days and months ahead we will need cool heads but we will also need warm hearts. Earlier this week I pledged with the other political leaders on the city council that we would do everything in our power to ensure that the social and economic well-being of our residents and city is protected through the current period of uncertainty. Although thankfully Sussex Police have not recorded an increase in hate crime in the city, there has been an increase in racist and xenophobic incidents around the country. These hate crimes are completely unacceptable and to express our collective will against hate crimes, the leaders of the other political parties on the city council have taken the unprecedented step of bringing a joint motion from Labour, Conservative and Green Parties to the next Full Council meeting. Some useful information to report hate incidents: bit.ly/ BHHateincident Acts of kindness that bind us stronger as a community have never been needed more. We must counter the message of hate with one of hope. After all, an injury to any one of our city’s diverse communities is an injury to each and every one of us. We will stand together.

Difficult to discuss Tony Miles, a Consultant General Surgeon who specializes in colorectal surgery, talks about a problem many people find difficult to discuss.
I’ve had some rectal bleeding, what should I do? Rectal bleeding is one of the most common complaints that come to my clinic. For most people rectal bleeding is innocent, nothing more than haemorrhoids. Unfortunately in a small number of patients it can indicate something more. The thing to remember is that the investigations for rectal bleeding whilst a bit embarrassing and a little bit uncomfortable, are very safe. It’s much “safer” to be investigated than leave things and take a risk. If you are under 40 a flexible sigmoidoscopy (passing a small flexible telescope through the rectum into the lower1/3 of the colon) is often done to be sure that there are no problems. In patients over 40 with rectal bleeding and a change to a more frequent stool a full colonoscopy (inspecting the whole colon) is usually performed although some surgeons prefer just to do a flexible sigmoidoscopy. Patients over 60 with either
bleeding or a change to a looser stool for more than 2 weeks should have either a colonoscopy or if that is not possible a CT cologram. Patients with unexplained abdominal pain or a lump to feel in the abdomen should have a CT. Finally patients who have unexplained anaemia should be investigated by a camera passed in to the stomach and the colon. Is the risk the same for all age groups? No the risks, in terms of cancer, are much lower in young people, although young people can have other problems such as colitis or fissures. Colon cancer is very rare in people under 40 and rare in people between 40 and 60. From 60 onwards it becomes more common. What about screening for bowel cancer? Colonoscopy is the most effective method of detecting colon cancer, but it is not practical to colonoscope everybody. The government has decided to offer everybody a single
Flexible Sigmoidoscopy when they are 55. This is a simple investigation undertaken with minimal preparation; it takes about 10 minutes and does not need any sedation. A full colonoscopy however has been shown to be more effective in reducing overall risk. The government also offers Stool testing from age 60, this can indicate those people who are at higher risk of developing cancer and so should have a colonoscopy. The government screening program can reduce your risk by about 20%. More intense screening involving regular colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy and stool testing can reduce risk by up to 80%.

The Haunted Moustache By David Bramwell
If you thought that nothing could surprise you about Brighton, think again. In this fantastic book Bramwell unpacks the history of the city with hilarious stories and witty reportage. As a (slightly lost) man in his early twenties, David Bramwell inherits a curious heirloom from his eccentric great aunt: a moustache. Over the course of a ten-year journey to discover all he can about the moustache’s former owner, Ambrose Oddfellow, Bramwell takes us on a roller coaster ride of discovery, from deep Doncaster, to outlandish Brighton in the 1990s. As much a voyage of self-discovery as a cultural history, Bramwell introduces some of Brighton (and Doncaster’s) most eccentric characters. Haunted by ghosts of the past – and by the curious moustache – Bramwell leads us right into the underbelly of Brighton; to the iconic basement club, Zincbar; to seances at the Brighton National Spiritualist Church; to Ayahuasca drinking ceremonies in Dorset; and into the home of one of Brighton’s most iconic eccentrics, Drako Zarhazar. Bramwell has strived to keep the spirit of Brighton alive and through his work across a multitude of platforms, he can remind even the most disillusioned Brighton resident that ’if it’s a good party, why leave early?”. I expected this book to be funny (and it is) and full of quirky stories and facts (it really, really is) but I hadn’t expected to feel the full ache of nostalgia for a city that has all but disappeared. David Bramwell will be at The Bookish Supper Salon on July 20 . Ticket includes a hardback copy of the book, a glass of sangria, and canapés. Tickets at Tabl.com.

It is Wimbledon Time again and though I am not a huge sports fan I do find I can get drawn into watching. As a Collaborative Lawyer and a Family Mediator I am by definition interested in communication; I find I use a variety of strategies with clients to help them understand when communication is helpful and proactive rather than competitive and combative. So when it is Wimbledon time Tennis can sometimes be used as a helpful metaphor. Clients who chose the collaborative process rather than the adversarial route are by definition committed to better communication and trying to achieve a fair and workable outcome. However this can be hard work and requires patience; both parties have to keep mutual goals in mind – usually this means putting any children’s needs above their own. But how do you do this when old rivalries and tensions come to the surface? Well it is mostly about working out new ways of communicating – applying some basic rules.
Using the Tennis Match as a way of applying some of these new rules can be helpful in working out ways forward especially when you still have to share parenting decisions.
You have to be respectful and put aside old habits – this can be understood as volleying the conversations between you, balancing the energy. Being able to communicate what you want is fundamental for establishing and maintaining a good parenting partnership. I often suggest using a tennis match approach to help clients understand and respect each other’s needs as your child’s other parent.
Why? Because playing tennis requires a flexible process that you can apply to almost any situation. To keep things in balance neither of you nor your should be doing all the calling, all the planning, all the talking, or all the chasing. Tennis doesn’t work if only one of you is hitting the ball all the time. In mediation sessions I make sure we lay some ground rules when it comes to negotiating practical parenting arrangements. So here are my Tennis Match guidelines for improving communication when parenting after parting. Take Turns: Give space for each of you to raise topics, express opinions, and to gather thoughts. Don’t jump in if when it’s not your turn.
Focus: Listen carefully to what each other is saying, don’t just concentrate on what you want to say next. Volley: Respond directly to what is being asked, showing you have heard and understood; wherever possible say where you agree. Don’t Argue: avoid getting too oppositional. The objective should be to establish understanding for the sake of your children’s needs. Return the Serve: when you have expressed an opinion try and invite a response by asking… “What do you think?” “Do you agree?” Like a Tennis Match parenting needs both of you ……but unlike Wimbledon remember it’s not a competition.

reen tea has long been recognised as a rich source of natural antioxidants. Matcha brands are among the very best, with benefits such as inflammatory pain relief and more youthful skin and hair. OMG Tea is a newcomer, run by Katherine Swift, who lives here in Brighton.
Katherine first investigated matcha’s intensive health benefits when her mum was diagnosed with breast cancer. At that time, Katherine worked with a leading breast cancer charity and their very personal story lead Katherine to work alongside leading medical professionals at The Manchester Centre for Cellular Metabolism at Manchester University (who are conducting scientific trials on matcha in ageing and agerelated diseases). Closer to home, the Dept. of Sport and Exercise Sciences at the University of

Chichester are testing OMG Tea in relation to fat oxidation to show how it can enhance healthy weight loss. I met Katherine just before an exciting trip to personally oversee the production process. OMG Tea is exclusively from the Nishio region in Japan. Nishio’s stable climate, fresh clear river waters and fertile soil are miles from any polluted urban areas, so these tea leaves resiliently grown, bright green and packed with nutrients. Experiment with the yummy OMG recipe tips if you are unfamiliar with the virgin flavour. #OmgMatchaLovers can order online at http://www. omgteas.co.uk. Local makers, Mr Maseys Emporium of Beards have dusted off their old look with a spruced up website at http:// www.mr-masey.co.uk with a new Body Wash and No. 8 cologne (which I am yet to
sniff out). The handmade, vegan products are created with quality essential oils. The clean summer livery gives a gentlemanly nod to the old typeface, and you can still find their beardie beautification at the Kensington Gardens stall. A delicious face wash also beckons – we’ll tell you when this surfaces. To honour the Aveda founder, the late Horst Rechelbacher, a certified organic, aromatic nourishing oil has been recreated from responsibly sourced pure plant and flower essences. It can be used for bath body hair and scalp. Aveda introduced Love Oil mark one in 1980 with the sensual aromas of sandalwood, rose, jasmine, olibanum, and myrrh. Aroma whizz Guy Vincent has now created the 2016 New Love homage, which combines certified organic vetiver and frankincense for aromatic body massage to inspire meditative thought, £23 for 50ml.

Fundraisers go over the top for Martlets Hospice abseil by Independent Reporter

If you’re not feeling challenged by the usual sponsored charity events, which not sign up for the Martlets Hospice Peacehaven Cliffs Abseil? The abseil, which raises money for the much-admired local charity, takes place on July 17. No previous experience is needed and anyone over the age of eight can take part. All equipment is provided and properly qualified, friendly and experienced instructors will help you to find your way down the cliff face. Antonia Shepherd, from the hospice’s events team, said: “You’ll be abseiling 115 feet down Peacehaven Cliffs, surrounded by terrific views of the Channel. “Everything is provided, so
all you need to bring with you is a sense of adventure and a head for heights. “We’ve had families and groups of work colleagues take part in previous years, supporting and loudly cheering each other on, which is fantastic to see. “There’s always a great atmosphere and you’ll get a real sense of achievement when you reach the bottom. “The money raised is incredibly important to the Hospice since it means we can continue to provide our support and care to local people and their families.” It costs just £21 to register for this challenge and the Hospice is asking that everyone who takes part raises a minimum of £100 in sponsorship.

Hove designer’s work causes a stir at Venice exhibition
Interior designer’s ‘controversial’ work on display at Palazzo Michiel in Italy Alex Jenkins
news@brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk @BrightonIndy
Katherine Richards is used to pushing boundaries with her work – challenging her clients to try something new in their homes. Yet her most recent project and the reaction to it has taken her by surprise. The Hove-based interior designer was invited to take part in an exhibition as part of the world-renowned and highly-regarded Venice Architecture Biennale, which is currently open in ‘the city of canals’ in Italy. The opportunity came about after she was approached by So Far So Near – a London and Milan-based, Italian-inspired interiors shop, known for its unusual fabrics. The company had secured a space at Venice Design 2016 and needed someone with a theatre background to come up with a design to showcase its collections. However, Katherine’s final creation, which was given the thumbs-up by So Far So Near, seems to have caused a stir among those behind the event, according to the designer. “I came up with a design that I thought was dramatic and theatrical and showed the fabrics to their advantage,” Katherine says. “But it appears to be quite controversial and seems to have rubbed people and I do not know why,” she exclaims, describing it as a simple ‘window display’. “I do not know why it is so different.” The strong reaction to her design – which features So Far So Near’s unique pure copper woven material as well as a
I feel like Tracey Emin with her unmade bed – it is the last thing I expected KATHERINE RICHARDS Interior designer stunning light installation by the Czech company Sans Souci – meant they were apparently only accepted into the show by the skin of their teeth. And all of this was a surprise to Katherine and her team who only knew of the furore when she arrived in Venice to set up. “There were people there that really did not want it there. One person came up to me and asked ‘are you satisfied with the monster you have created’,” laughs Katherine with a shake of her head. “I feel like Tracey Emin with her unmade bed – it is the last thing I expected.” Despite all this, it is clear the designer has enjoyed the experience and feels honoured to be involved. The exhibition is held at the prestigious Palazzo Michiel, and brings together an international set of designers from 17 countries. According to the exhibition’s website, the works show ‘how powerful an everyday piece can be and its ability to express and
represent rituals, cultural particularities and embody human emotions’. Clearly Katherine’s work ticks the last criteria. Her exhibition is designed to draw attention to the very unusual material So Far So Near is known for – a fabric that is unlike anything Katherine has worked with before. “It is incredibly unforgiving and difficult to work with,” she reveals when showing me samples of the copper woven material, explaining how it is stiff and does not drape. In fact, it holds its shape so well that Katherine was able to create fans out of it. Alongwithusingsixofthese fabrics she also incorporated a satin silk from another of the fabric company’s collections. To tie the fabrics and the unusual light installation together, she balanced an electric blue chair high up in the display and used a matching coloured ribbon to tie everything together. “The blue was inspired by all the gondolas as they are covered in this blue at nighttime. It is very Venetian,” she says. The display took three days to put together and was a work in progress as Katherine and the team altered parts of the design as they went along. “It looks wicked,” she says, with a satisfied nod. “It is taking a while to sink in that I have an amazing exhibition in Venice for six months. “They expect 300,000 people visiting, it is a massive international event. I am very proud of it.” The Venice Architecture Biennale is open until November 27. Visit: www. labiennale.org/en

Pier Recruitment celebrate their fourth birthday by opening new branch Founded in 2012, Pier Recruitment is a bespoke recruitment agency designed to bring service back into the industry – something which has sadly been neglected in recent years. Their current office is based in Palmeira Square, Brighton, with idyllic views of the Square on one side and the bustling Brighton promenade on the other. The high demand for Pier’s services has enabled them to expand, allowing them to register an increasing number of candidates, resulting in more jobs being filled. Pier Recruitment fill approximately 80% of vacancies brought to them, when the industry average is just 33%. There is no doubt that opening a new branch Katie Gibson, Pier’s Director in Crawley will bring with it a set of new challenges for Pier, but they have excelled in Brighton and are sure to continue doing so. In four years, the team at Pier has expanded from two to fifteen, and with two branches under their belt there is no sign that this expansion is due to slow down. Pier Recruitment are proud to employ the industry’s most friendly, motivated and dedicated individuals who are clearly passionate about what they do. As proud winners of the 2015 Perkbox Happy Teams competition, the managers at Pier believe that staff happiness is of the utmost importance when it comes to being an effective, efficient and accomplished business as the whole team is responsible for the continued success. It is clear to see that Pier Recruitment is driven by a fantastic and committed group of young professionals, a large contributor behind their success and ability to expand in such a short period of time. They also religiously stick to their ethos of providing 100% service, ensuring that they aren’t labelled as just another recruitment agency but as people who will deliver the service you deserve. This is something that has clearly struck a chord with everyone they work with, not only outlined by their evident success, but also by numerous testimonials and fantastic reviews from across the board. Examples of these can be found on Facebook, Google+ and their website. Pier Recruitment do an incredible job in the local community by helping them grow their businesses, assisting residents in finding employment and doing as much as they can for charity. This year Pier Recruitment were named official partners of the Rockinghorse Children’s Charity and held a Bingo night raising just under £1500 .

A charity which runs befriending schemes to support some of the city’s most vulnerable adults is launching a new campaign to tackle loneliness. Brighton and Hove-based charity Impetus is behind the Yellow Rose Campaign which hopes to raise awareness of the problem. The charity says that being isolated or lonely has been proven to heighten feelings of depression and anxiety as well as increasing the risk of premature death by roughly 30 per cent. On June 23 the Yellow Rose Campaign was officially launched at the Synergy Centre in Brighton, and will coincide with the UN International Day of Friendship on July 30.

They led a recent Brighton Chamber Bite-sized Learning session on how to run successful competitions on social media. With nearly 2.4 billion users in the world today, social media channels are a great place to reach out to your audience - and a great place to hold a competition! Here are their top tips for running successful competitions on social media. 1. Choose the right platform Whether you run your competition on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or elsewhere, make sure you choose
the platform that gives your brand the largest following or highest engagement metrics (likes, comments and shares). This will boost your competition to your best audience. To make it easier for your audience, publicize your competition across all your social platforms but keep the method of entry down to just one. 2. Make the most of your platforms. Stick to short posts, enticing graphics, and maybe a competition hashtag for Twitter or Instagram, allowing your audience to view all competition entries. If your chosen channel restricts the content you can display, you can utilise your blog. Create a post including longer copy, larger images, and terms and conditions, then share this across social media to drive traffic back to your website.
3. Play by the rules Make sure your competition is engaging, easy to enter, and meets your objectives. Remember to double check the latest guidelines for competitions on your platform, otherwise your business could be penalised. 4. Give the perfect prize Whether you’re giving away 10 boxes of tea or 10 iPads, make sure the prize is relevant and worthwhile to your audience. Promote your prize throughout the competition, then randomly select a winner at www. random.org, ask a colleague to choose, or use your official judgingpanel. 5. Try paid promotion We recommend using a small budget to boost your posts, otherwise you may not find the response you’re looking for. You can target age, gender, location, interests and other demographics on Facebook, based on your current offline audience. Social competitions can be a great way to share new products, increase brand awareness and engagement, and drive both short term and long term goals.

Debating the issue of places to set up shop Developer First Base is teaming up with the Brighton Chamber of Commerce to discuss the issue of places to work in the city. The Big Debate on workspace in Brighton will take place at City College on Wednesday 6 July from 4pm to 6pm. The debate will look at the issues of workspaces in the city and ask whether a shortage of suitable, affordable workspaces is really hindering the local economy. First Base have plans to transform Anston House on Preston Road into a new co-working hub for Brighton & Hove which will include modern workspaces that cater for Brighton’s thriving SME’s and start-ups along with 229 much needed homes for the city. Renowned architects Conran and Partners, who have an office in Brighton, will design the new development on the site, which has been derelict for 25 years. Conran were responsible for the development of the
Argus newspaper’s former printworks into The Argus Lofts workspaces and apartments in addition to many award-winning developments across the globe. Eeva Paasiaro, Development Manager for First Base said: “The redevelopment of Anston House provides an opportunity to address the demand for homes and modern workspace in Brighton. “Our proposals will deliver 229 new homes and workspace for over 280 local maturing start-ups and provide a real boost to the Brighton economy. “ The debate will be chaired by Nick Juba, Chief Executive of City College, which itself has plans to develop the college to include new workspaces.

Brighton-based band The RPMs play the city’s Hope & Ruin on Saturday, July 2, hosted by the rock ’n’ roll club night This Feeling. The date comes on the back of the band’s debut EP, Digital Disobedience. “There is an element of pressure, I suppose,” says Jack Valero (lead vocals and rhythm guitar). “Obviously you can only ever have one debut. But it would be different if this was the only thing we had. We have got lots of other material that we want to use. “Our plans go way beyond this album. If the album was the only thing, then yes, the pressure would be huge. “We have been together about three years. Me and the drummer (Callum James) were friends in Dorset where we are originally from. We had a little band among other friends, but we both decided we wanted to get out of Dorset because there is not a lot happening there, particularly music-wise. “We saw that there was this music school in Brighton, BIMM, and we thought that that would be perfect. We had been to Brighton before and thought that it was a great town, and
that’s where we met our bass player (Miguel Cosme).” Jack has still got a year to go on his BIMM course: “BIMM has been really interesting. The first year, the diploma, was great. That was brilliant. We came to this great artistic town and we were exposed to tons of other young aspiring musicians and we were able to see the things they were doing. It was hugely inspiring. We spoke to a lot of other people that have been in the industry, and the first year was just amazing. “And then we moved on to the degree, and it has been pretty good. But I felt that we have perhaps started to become more focused on the band than the degree. “It takes up a huge amount of time at the moment. You have got to learn how to get into the industry, and we are already working with the band. “There are a couple of times where we have had to miss exams because of what we were doing with the band. They were very good about that, but a school is a school and obviously you have to work to certain regulations. It’s a slight conflict at the moment, but a weird one. But at the same time, the people understand what we are doing and they endorse it, but they do have to work the academic way.” As for the music, Jack
describes it broadly as ‘guitar-pop’, and the band are determined to make it work: “There are never any guarantees. No one jumps into it all thinking that if they do this and that and tick certain boxes, it will all happen for them. You can tick all the boxes and still get nowhere. “But really, the thing is perseverance. If you keep pushing at the door, then you have got to hope that eventually that door will open and you will walk through. And also we are a band with personality, and I think that that comes across on stage, and I think that is definitely something that helps you fulfil your purpose.” They are hoping the hometown Brighton date will prove a stepping stone: “We absolutely love Brighton, and it’s the best place for young musicians to live and work on their craft. It’s particularly important to us as it’s where we started out playing in every dark sweaty bar we could. “And if you like to party there’s always somewhere still open. We once got a carbonara at five in the morning. There’s just no other town like it.” Call The Hope & Ruin on 01273 325793 or visit www. drinkinbrighton.co.uk/ hope-and-ruin.

Stand-up looks at ‘hidden homeless’ Comedy
Phil Hewitt
Group Arts Editor phil.hewitt@jpress.co.uk
Brighton-based comedian Sami Stone has launched a fundraising campaign to take her first-ever solo show, Roof, to Edinburgh – a show born of bitter experience as one of the nation’s ‘hidden homeless’. “I have never done a solo show before, even though I have been doing stand-up for a while,” explains Sami. “I have always had lots of ideas for a solo show, but I never really found the gumption for it. “It has got to be crackling and fizzing all the way through, but at the same time, you realise you have got a bit of leeway. You are not having to do your club circuit set where everyone is sitting with their arms folded saying ‘Come on, make me laugh!’ You can almost go off into the realms of story-telling, and the thing is everyone says ‘write what you know about’, and the one
thing I have battled with for many years is secure housing. “I know what it feels like to live out of a bag, to have no sense of security or privacy, when you are searching for somewhere to sleep, when you are sofa-surfing, trying to spread you and your dog around until something affordable comes through. You are trying to contribute, but you are living off the kindness of other people, and you know you are having to wait for someone to finish watching the rugby before you can get to bed on their sofa.” It sounds more like the recipe for a tragedy, but as Sami says: “That’s the beauty of comedy. Comedy and tragedy are almost inseparable. The show is largely about me, but I also cover a lot of the structural issues about homelessness. I am talking about the category of homelessness that I belong to, called the hidden homeless, the people who are sofa-surfing or staying in hostels rather than the people
who are sleeping rough. I have managed never to sleep rough. I have always tried to survive on my instincts. “The economy has a lot to do with it, the rising price of accommodation that is being pushed up by people that can pay. It has a lot to do with the economy, but when you research the subject on a more individual basis, I found myself ticking a lot of the boxes on the list. People that struggle are usually from broken homes and don’t have any qualifications and have had a battle with drugs or alcohol and are isolated from their families. I was thinking about it, and I really was ticking every box.” Sami enjoyed success with the show at the Brighton Fringe, and now changes in her own personal circumstances mean she has the opportunity to take it to Brighton – if only she can raise the cash. She feels if she waits another year, the moment may well have gone: “I really
Starboard Festival offers an eclectic programme for kids FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS
Theatre
Starboard offers a brandnew festival of theatre made with, by and for children and young people, performed in the setting of Brighton Open Air Theatre (BOAT). “We have an exciting and eclectic programme of shows for you to enjoy,” said spokeswoman Donna Hay. “Starboard Festival features work by 23 companies, from local primary schools, schools, colleges, drama groups and professional theatre makers. The festival has inspired schools from across the city to perform. A junior and infant school join creative forces for the first time performing together; another is performing a play partly in Spanish. “Teenagers will get to showcase their talent too with schools performing some of Shakespeare’s classics, as well as some of the outstanding local independent theatre schools presenting work old and new about what it is like to be a young person in 2016. “Working with the city’s major cultural institutions, Starboard Festival features some of the best national theatre made for children
Danny The Champion Of The World
and young people. “Starboard is not only about hosting the best performances for young people – we have been making new ones too! Led by critically acclaimed theatre director Ria Parry, young people will work together to create a play in a week, premiered on the final weekend in a double bill with a new play by Iman Qureshi, written for and with year 10 students at Cardinal Newman Catholic School. “Alongside the shows, each weekend sees some of the UK’s leading theatre makers running workshops both for young people and theatre professionals.” Starboard Festival takes place between the July 2-17.

Donna added: “The idea for Starboard Festival was sparked at the opening gala for the BOAT in May last year. Local theatre maker Naomi Alexander, who freelances for the Old Vic and Battersea Arts Centre and who has recently set up Brighton People’s Theatre, was in the audience. Listening to Adrian Bunting’s mother and his four friends describe the incredible story behind the creation of BOAT she felt moved to do something to build on their success. “So the idea for Starboard Festival was born.” To find out more visit www.starboardfestival.com.
feel it needs to go now as a now topic. If I wait a year, I could be missing something that is important. “As well as describing being part of a growing number of the hidden homeless – a term that becomes quite familiar by the end of the show, and how that involves trying to stay out the way, being invisible, not treading on anyone’s toes, being contained in small spaces, especially when sofasurfing – it became about something more personal.” Sami has set up an online fundraising page to help make the show happen. She has worked out various rewards for her supporters. Full details on www. kickstarter.com/ projects/895780667/takingroof-to-edinburgh-2016. “The £850 Kickstarter goal covers the very basics. The money needed to survive up in Edinburgh and also the money needed to find accommodation when I come back are all part of the jigsaw too.”

Food and Drink A foodie tour of the city’s tasty independent scene By Tom Flint
Brighton Food Tour

A taste of the sea at English’s

e all know that one of the best things about Brighton is its wide array of Independent shops, cafés and restaurants – and the prices are unbeatable value. This is something that has not gone unnoticed by friends Angela and Cat who have set up their very own walking Brighton Food Tours – the first version of which being the “Very Independent Brighton” tour. This is what they say about it: “The V.I.B Tour is a walking tour for foodies a celebration of independent Brighton, packed with the eclectic sights and tastes from the unique makers and producers to the unsung heroes of Brighton’s indy food and drink scene. We’ll take you on a journey to enjoy the taste of real independent Brighton beyond just the pier, pavilion and the pebble beach. “Over the course of approximately three hours you’ll get a bit of everything: visit off-the- beaten-track street food stalls, hear about eco-aware sustainable food systems, get down and dirty with the most passionate burger-makers in town, meet food industry revolutionaries, re-live the quintessential old-school seaside Brighton…and a whole lot more.” I joined a group led by Angela on a slightly overcast Saturday morning to see what the tour was all about and where they would take us. We meet on the steps of the Unitarian church in New Road, me feeling somewhat full from my Full English at Café Plenty and wondering whether I will regret that decision. There is a group of ten people, each of us has been provided with a food tour sticker – things are starting well. After a short briefing Angela leads us to our first stop, Bluebird Tea Co. I was pretty upset when this shop opened as it cemented the end of
Bakery Bulletin
A Heavenly hot chocolate
Borderline records, but would not let that sway my opinion. I am an English breakfast tea aficionado (black no sugar) and so was not sure what I would make of Bluebird. We were treated to some lemon macha tea “lemonade” which was incredible refreshing and all was forgotten. A great shop with some incredible teas that is well worth visiting. Next up one of the cities food landmarks, the Brighton Sausage Company. When I first moved to Brighton my new housemates bought me cider and sausages for my birthday – this is what they had come to know about me in the two months prior – I like this shop and so should you. This was followed by a visit to the open market on London Road where we tried homous at Smorls. They are fighting the good fight against bland supermarket homous and good on them. Their handmade dips were delicious and fragrant with the triple clove “Thunder” the pick of the bunch but I do love garlic. The second London Road stop was at Rainbow Organic Chocolates – which is somewhere I must return to. This tiny artisan chocolate shop is run by French trained, Scottish chocolatier Suzanne who really knows her stuff. We were given a hot chocolate that I would have happily swam in before perusing the slightly chaotic treasure trove that was her shop. If you are a chocolate fan it is a must and the prices are unbeatable
value. Heading back towards The Lanes we stopped off at Hisbes on the London Road to celebrate their independent spirit and flair for equality. You have got to admire what these guys are doing and we can only hope that the larger supermarkets start to take note. Back in the Lanes and after a little detour via the Pavilion gardens we headed to our final two destinations. First up was a visit to a restaurant that is synonymous with Brighton’s food history. English’s is one of the city’s premier seafood restaurants, and it’s oldest having been in existence for around 150 years. We popped into their champagne and oyster bar and were offered a choice of mollusc to sample. This was a real treat and, although not everyone partook, I devoured my West Mersey Rock oyster with a little shallot, red wine vinegar and sweet Tabasco with glee. You can pop in there any time to enjoy some oysters on ice and a bit of fizz and I would highly recommend doing Finally one of the newer success stories in Brighton and a visit to Boho gelato. Seb has really hit the ground running with his flagship store and all the hard work has really paid off. Undoubtedly the best ice cream available in the city his flavours range from classics through to slightly leftfield but inspired. We sampled the silky and buttery olive oil flavour which was a revelation through to their top selling peanut butter sea salt and caramel flavour aka “crack”. A top shop that never fails to deliver and even has vegan ice cream and I understand they are working on diabetic versions as well. I really enjoyed my stroll around the city and Angela was a fantastic and enthusiastic host. Even as someone who knows the food scene pretty well we visited places I did not know about until that day. I would highly recommend spending your Friday or Saturday morning taking a food wander with them. Tom Flint writes a food blog Food Booze and Reviews at: www. foodboozeandreviews.com
n unprecedented threat to Earth; a world in crisis; its people divided. Hope is sought, and a future is found. No need to make this awkward - I’m obviously talking about The Avengers. And not Patrick Macnee, Diana Rigg, and a Bentley. The Avengers of our generation are a trifle different, yet whether in a Rolls Royce or a Quinjet (that’s an advanced aircraft used by S.H.I.E.L.D for personal transport and aerial combat – haven’t you heard it’s cool to be a geek now?), they are all united in a team, and every team needs a captain. Aye, aye. Captain Bun really isn’t an Avenger, but I feel he’d have had a lot to offer the gang. Master craftsmanship aside, his uniform would have been just darling. Captain Bun was Richard Hand’s alter ego. Mr Hand made buns. Far from living hand-to-mouth, Mr Hand was a dab hand at handmade buns. He had his hands full, but never accepted a handout, and never put his hand in the cookie jar. His wife was on hand to lend a helping hand, and it was all hands on deck. Literally. When Mr Hand died, Mrs Hand had first hand experience and was therefore a safe pair of hands for the family business. Cap in hand to the woman – she ran it well and her handiwork is admirable. When Mrs Hand died, it was all hands to the pumps again and her son was handed the reins. When he too died, the other brother handled the business. Handy that. Eventually there were no hands left. In 1839 the business was auctioned off for a handsome fee. Presumably it was agreed upon with a handshake. Captain Bun’s emporium was a popular haunt for Hanoverian royalty. As in the German Royal dynasty from Hanover, Germany. The only royalty in Brighton’s Hanover is a cat. Bun’s bun shop was on Jew’s Row, by Grosvenor Row, on the main road from Pimlico to Chelsea. Bun’s famous buns were therefore known as Chelsea Buns. Seems an awful shame that with such a marvellous moniker, his creation wasn’t named after him. Still, at least he will forever be recognised as the creator, even if Chelsea gets the credit for the name. A crass idiom about a bird in the hand springs to mind, but I won’t go there. Don’t believe me? Then I promise. Hand on heart.

The Post-Brexit Brighton property market Here, in the People’s Republic of Brighton and Hove (have you ordered the passport yet?), despite the 100,000 or so local voters who wanted to ‘Remain’, we are still a part of the wider UK. So, as we Brexit, we need to ‘man-up and deal with it’. So what should we do about the ‘golden egg’, the Brighton & Hove property market? Our market has been strongly allied to high-end London areas ever since those residents realised they could have their London lifestyle but with a beach down the road, living in a City not much bigger than one of London’s villages; now commuting to their London workstation as quickly as from their erstwhile London home. Of course, we need to thank Southern and Thameslink for providing replacement bus services and rail diversions via Lewes and points West too, enhancing our new commuters’ knowledge of Sussex geography. How thoughtful of them… Notwithstanding our rail companies’ efforts, people continue to fall in love with Brighton and Hove. So, in this post-Brexit world there are still buyers, sellers and tenants, both local and non-local, moving into, out of and around our City. How will we as local property professionals and you, Brighton and Hove residents who need to move for one reason or another, deal with this ‘New World Order’ in a way which will be more inclusive than the property market we have inhabited for several years before the vote? I ask this question because of what we’re seeing all over social media in the last few days. Local folk are tired of the property market model we have allowed to overwhelm us: exclusive, partial, unreal, impossible to compete in, unaffordable and often only available to the richer elements of our region (London included); whilst local people, many on ‘average wages’, cannot get a look in. That’s why I started the article with the ‘People’s Republic…’. Brighton has a unique collective psyche but it has never spoken in the property arena. Do people now have a will to make our local property market more ‘real’? Of course, without home owners taking the lead, anything agents do will not make a difference. But recently, I’ve visited quite a few sellers who have agreed with me that we shouldn’t ask ‘stupid money’ as they call it, for their property, as they know it will not sell. It would then have to take price reductions and become stale…a bad place to be. If a property is put up for sale or to let at a sensible price, the logic is that all the people thinking of that kind of property will go to see it immediately. The first few weeks on the market is the critical time to get a sound offer. With a realistic asking price, all potential interested parties will view; so it will sell or let, and at the best price it should achieve, since no one will be waiting to view. It sounds too sensible, straightforward and transparent but there is a certain logic and reality to this approach. I saw a house on Monday, where one agent had quoted £400,000, another £600,000: what’s the logic there? No wonder buyers and sellers are confused. In post-Brexit Brighton and Hove, to sustain confidence in the property market, whilst we see how things pan out, we need to take stock and be sensible, property professionals especially, then people will get to move as they need to; in, out and around the City.

Aston’s most extreme ever roadster by staff reporter
www.sussexexpress.co.uk/motors
Aston Martin has unveiled its most extreme roadster ever in the unique form of the oneoff Vantage GT12 Roadster.
A tailor made customer commission undertaken by Q by Aston Martin, the Vantage GT12 Roadster takes the original Vantage GT12 Coupe’s hardcore ethos and adds the visceral thrill of open-top driving, offering the driver an intensified sensation of exhilarationandtheunfilteredfury of a 600PS V12 soundtrack.
Conceived and delivered within a nine-month period, the Vantage GT12 Roadster draws its origins from the Vantage GT12 Coupe, with a special 600PS version of the brand’s 6.0-litre normally aspirated V12 engine mated to a seven-speed Sportshift IIItm paddle-shift transmission. Technical highlights include magnesium inlet manifolds withrevisedgeometry,alightweight magnesium torque tube and a full titanium exhaust system. Themostvisibledifferences are the significant number ofnewcarbon-fibrebodypan-
els, while beneath the skin a unique suspension set-up defined by Aston Martin’s inhousedynamicsexperts,helpingtoensuretheVantageGT12 Roadster shares the same exceptional handling characteristics as the Vantage GT12 Coupe. Naturally being a product of Q by Aston Martin, the Roadster also features bespoke paint and trim. TheVantageGT12Roadster isasignificantlandmark,forit isthefirsttimeacustomerhas been able to call upon the full scopeofAstonMartin’sdesign and engineering capabilities .

ROADTEST:JAGUARF-PACE
JAG SETS THE PACE
by Carmel Stewart Motoring writer
Does it really matter what any of the so-called experts say about the new Jaguar F-Pace or any Jaguar for that matter? Probably not.
Suffice it to say it’s a Jaguar, British designed, built and tested so it’ll sell well regardless. But, fact is, the new FPace is a real humdinger – a performance SUV which Jaguar quite rightly sees as a blend of what everyone else does well in terms of handling, dynamics, practicality and looks. Closelyexaminedrivalsinclude the BMW X4, the Porsche Macan, the Volvo XC60, the Audi Q5 and JLR’s own Discovery Sport and Evoque – sosomevery well-established big hitters. But Jaguar execs are clearly undeterred. Described by them as the ultimate practical sports car, the F-Pace represents the Bromwichbased manufacturer’s first foray into the increasingly popular SUV market. And it is well aware that it has arr ive d a l i ttle late to the party but it is certainlynotunderprepared. derprepared All the technology packed into the F-Pace has been tried and tested in the XE, the XF and F-Type. Among the power trains is a 3.0-litre diesel with 296bhp and 516lb/ft of torque as seen intheXJandXFtogetherwith a 375bhp V6 supercharged petrol unit which is already
strutting its stuff under the bonnet of the F-Type. In addition, the 2.0-litre diesel is an option in the Land Rover Discovery Sport and the Evoque as well as the XE and XF. Engine allocation for the FPace is determinedbytrims-– designatedPrestige,Portfolio, R-Sport, S and First Edition. The178bhpdiesellinkedto
eittherthemanualorautomatic transmission with RWD or AW WD is available in the Prestig ge, Portfolio and R-Sport. Th he 3.0-litre diesel and the 3.0 pe etrol AWD linked to Jaguar’s de elightful eight-speed automatic is available only in the S triim – and the First Edition if you can track one down. yo On the road, the 2.0-litre model proved a real delight being fast, flexible andsolidlyplanted,withmore than enough power for realworld driving. A step up to the bigger unit will require a disciplinedrightfoot.Itsunrelenting composure allows the driver to open it up, pushing
through corners with all the confidence that Jaguar engenders. And, being lighter than the V6, it is more nimble than the higher powered unit especially in dynamic mode. Prices start at £34,170 with a step up to each trim level adding £2,500 to the price. The R-Sport 2.0-litre diesel AWD automatic at £40,360 is expected to be the range’s best seller. As might be expected, this chunky piece of Jaguar fun is packed to the roof rails with hi-spec technology and gadgets galore. F-Pace hi-tech wizardry includes torque on-demand
all-wheel drive, adaptive surface response, all surface progress control and low friction launch plus autonomous emergency braking, lane departurewarning,lanekeepassist and Jaguar’s waterproof, shockproof wristband Activity Key with an integrated transponder – designed for those who like all that outdoorsy stuff. The infotainment and connectivity technology is just as advanced. The InControl Touch Pro was designed inhouse by Jaguar Land Rover.

Teachingkidstodrive‘stressfulandexpensive’ Teaching their kids to drive is one of the most stressful thingsaparentcando,according to research, with more than four in 10 afraid they’ll end up injured in an accident. A survey of 1,000 parents by used car portal NFDA Trusted Dealers has revealed that almost four out of five (79 per cent) parents are worried about the consequences of putting their offspring in the driver’s seat.
The most common fear was damage to the car, chosen by 44 per cent of the sample, closely followed by 43 per cent who said they feared injurytothemselvesintheevent of a crash. Meanwhile, 28 per cent said the biggest frustration wastheirkidssimplydon’tlisten to their guidance, with 20 per cent reporting tantrums ormoodysilencesasaresultof parent-child driving lessons.
Compared to other stressful life experiences, 29 per cent of the parents in the survey said they’d rather go to the dentist than teach their kids to drive, 22 per cent said they’d rather put themselves throughajobinterviewand40 per cent said they’d rather organise a wedding. Unsurprisingly,75percent said they footed the bill not just for the extra insurance and petrol for their child’s
lessons at home, but also for professional lessons. Neil Addley, managing director at NFDA Trusted Dealers, said: “Following the survey results, we have developed a dedicated ‘Testing Times’ page, a one-stop shop that will include advice for parents on buying cars for kids, as well as competitions for parents to help with the stresses of teaching their children to drive.”

March targeting a return to action during pre-season PICTURE BY ANGELA BRINKHURST
Brighton & Hove Albion
Steve Bailey
steve.bailey@jpress.co.uk Twitter: @SteveBailey67
Albion winger Solly March is targeting a return to action during pre-season. The 21-year-old was in sparkling form for the Seagulls when an anterior cruciate ligament injury at Derby County in December ended his 2015/16 season. March made his Albion debut in August 2013 and had scored three goals in 17 matches last season, while he also played for England’s under-21 team. He is raring to go again for the new season and speaking to www.seagulls.co.uk, he said: “It’s going well and it (the knee) feels strong. “I’ve been working hard over the summer and only had a week’s holiday, so I can try to get myself back as quickly as I can and be as strong as I can. “I’ve started running, doing some sprinting and turning on the joint. That’s the last phase of my recovery to make sure I’m confident enough on it. I’ve done lots of balance and strength work too in order to strengthen my muscles.” March has been working hard at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre during the summer and hopes to be back on the pitch towards the end of preseason. He said: “Firstly I’ll join in with a bit of non-contact

possession stuff and passing drills. Once I feel confident enough and the physios think I’m ready, then I’ll be back playing small-sided games and we’ll take it from there. “Now that the players are back, it’s good to finally have someone here with me after being on my own all summer. “Everyone is raring to go and hopefully we can go one better now, that’s the aim this year.” Albion begin the new season away to Derby on Saturday, August 6.
Brighton youngsters head to Luton Seagulls defender Glen Rea joined League Two Luton Town on a two-year deal for an undisclosed fee earlier this week. The 21-year-old spent the final two months of last season on loan at Kenilworth Road and has now made the move permanent. He will again link up with former Albion coach Nathan Jones, who took over
as Luton manager in January. Brighton goalkeeper Christian Walton is also heading to Luton, on a season-long loan. The 20-year-old, who has played four games for the Seagulls, spent time on loan with Bury and Plymouth Argyle last season. Albion manager Chris Hughton said: “Christian wants to play week-in, week-
out in order to continue his development, and it’s something he needs at his age, but with the goalkeepers we have at the club it’s not something we can offer him in the coming season. “Glen is a hungry young player who wants to be playing regular football, and this is a great move for him at this stage of his career.”
Striker Robinson among eight departures from Whitehawk Football
Whitehawk boss Pablo Asensio’s close season shakeup is still in full flow after eight players left Whitehawk Football Club last week. The most notable departure was former Brighton striker Jake Robinson as Hawks look to build their squad for the upcoming National League South campaign. As well as Robinson, Jordan Rose, Juan Cruz Gotta, Arnaud Mendy, David Ijaha, David Martin, Chris Sessegnon and Lee Hills have departed the club. In a statement on Hawks’ official website, they thanked all the players for their hard
work and efforts and wished them every success in the future. Asensio wasted no time in adding to the 12 players he has already recruited over the summer. The Argentine boss has moved swiftly to sign another four players as his side look to push for promotion in the upcoming campaign. Brazilian midfielder Kleyton Agostini has agreed terms, while defensive duo Gabriel Yan and Rodrigo Mann will also be part of Asensio’s squad for next season. The final signing, probably Whitehawk’s biggest this summer, is French forward Wilfied Tagbo. Tagbo has
played for teams in Ireland, Sweden, Bulgaria and also in his homeland. The Frenchman has represented both Velbazhd Kyustendil and FC Kaliakra in Bulgaria, Evry in his homeland and Irish side Finn Harps. It is hoped Tagbo will be able to provide the goals Hawks will now miss following Robinson’s departure. It has also been announced Hawks have not managed to reach an agreement with goalkeeper Craig Ross on a new deal, so he will leave the club after two seasons. Whitehawk’s first preseason friendly is at home to Worthing on July 9. LEWIS MASON
Brighton & Hove edged further away from the Sussex League Premier Division relegation zone on Saturday with a T20 win over Worthing. Their match with secondfrom-bottom Worthing was reduced to a T20 match owing to persistent rain. Both teams were already assured of ten points for an abandonment, with the incentive of another ten points for the victors. Henry Hunt hit 45 and Alasdair Wilson struck 42 not out as Brighton posted 173-4 from their 20 overs. Worthing struggled to get going in reply and a rain break after 12 overs meant they required more than 13 runs an over when they went back out. Another tight couple of overs put the game beyond Worthing, who finished on 765. Matthew Green top-scored with an unbeaten 33. Brighton are now 19 points clear of Worthing and 25 points ahead of bottom club Billingshurst. Hastings beat Preston Nomads by 88 runs in the only completed match in the division on Saturday. The other three matches –Billingshurst against East Grinstead, Cuckfield versus Bexhill, and Horsham against Roffey – were abandoned, with each side collecting ten points.

Sport Goldson hoping to carry on from where he left off Brighton & Hove Albion
Steve Bailey
steve.bailey@jpress.co.uk Twitter: @SteveBailey67
Albion defender Connor Goldson is hoping to carry on from he left off last season. The 23-year-old picked up the young player of the season award in his first year at the club after joining from Shrewsbury in August. He had to wait until December for his debut but then played 26 games, forming an excellent central defensive partnership with Lewis Dunk as the Seagulls missed out on promotion to the Premier League only on goal difference. After returning to preseason training earlier this week, Goldson told www. seagulls.co.uk: “I’m delighted to be back. It’s good to see the boys and to all get back together. “We’ve got five or six weeks to get ready and then we’ll hopefully be prepared for the start of the season. “It’s just a case of trying to carry on from where I left off, start the season well and then
it’s up to me to keep my place. “There are now three first-team centre-halves and there’s another young lad that has come in from Motherwell (Ben Hall). “It’s the same every year and there’s going to be competition for every place. It’s all about making sure you’re fit and it’s up to the gaffer to pick what he feels is right.” Albion head to a summer training break in Tenerife next week before they return and face Crawley in their first pre-season friendly on July 16. A mouth-watering friendly against Italian giants Lazio was announced earlier this week – that will take place at the Amex on Sunday, July 31, with a 3pm kick-off. Lazio include three players who are part of the Italian squad at the European Championships, goalkeeper Federico Marchetti and midfielders Antonio Candreva and Marco Parolo. Tickets are on sale now, priced £15 for adults, £10 for over-65s and under-21s and £5 for under-18s.

We’re building for the first game – Calderwood Brighton & Hove Albion
Colin Calderwood hopes Albion will come through pre-season injury free, before they start the new season at Derby on August 6. The players returned for pre-season this week, with long-term injured duo Solly March and Uwe Hünemeier still not involved, while Beram Kayal, Connor Goldson and Jamie Murphy have not yet returned to full training. Seagulls assistant boss Calderwood said: “The boys have come back this week and had a few tests and a reintroduction to things. “We go away next week and hopefully by the end of that week, we’ll be seeing the benefits of pre-season training as there will be two or three sessions a day. “We’ve got five or six weeks of pre-season but I don’t think any team is ever ready for the start of the season as you never know quite where you are but the main thing is to have everyone fit for that first game. Solly and Uwe are longer-term injuries, while Beram, Connor and Jamie haven’t quite started full training, which is a legacy of last season but that’s also down to the experience of our medical department.”
Colin Calderwood
The summer training camp in Tenerife will give Albion the chance to enhance a team spirit that was evident last season and Calderwood said: “There will be 92 clubs saying their team spirit is great at the moment but we know we’ve got the basis of a good team spirit from last year. “We’ll go away and enjoy next week and then will look forward to the first preseason game. We won’t be the finished article for the first game but you don’t want to be either as then you’ve got nowhere to go and improve.” Albion have three successive home games early in the season and when asked if they will give the Seagulls a chance to build momentum, Calderwood said: “You want to win home and away, which was something we did at the end of last season and is something you’ve got to do if you’re going to be successful.”

Brighton & Hove Albion
Sri Lankan international Nuwan Kulasekara has joined Sussex on a short-term deal. The 33-year-old was set to make his debut in the T20 Blast at Kent last night and should face Middlesex tonight. Mustafizur Rahman is due to join Sussex for the final four group games.
There are many things successful clubs in the Championship have to contend with, one of which is being a more attractive proposition to have your games picked up by Sky Sports. For all the supporters it was an incredible season to follow Brighton, but one of the few sour notes was the number of games that got moved to a Friday or Monday evening slot. Not a single scheduled weekend home game was played at the traditional time
of Saturday at 3pm after February 13, with at least a dozen of Albion’s league games shown on television during the last campaign. The fixtures for the 2016-17 season have been out only for a few weeks, but it’s not taken long for televised games to mess with the fixtures once again, with the opening Amex game against Nottingham Forest being moved to Friday, August 12 for Sky TV coverage. Ironically this was also the first home game of the season a year ago, and was also played on a Friday night because it was being shown on television.
The reaction on social media has been mostly negative, with many people nowunabletomakethegame. On the flip side, others would say there is the fee clubs get for being on TV to take into consideration as a positive of being picked for coverage, along with fans who would have been unable to make the game now able to see it. Ultimately it’s a Catch 22 situation for clubs like Albion, who have no say in which games are picked to be televised games throughout the season. BRADLEY STRATTON @BradStrat

New crop scarred by failure at major tournament
I
’m on a train. To London. It’s very busy. Wimbledon is on. It’s a day to be travelling light. No baggage. Sadly that is not always an option. When it comes to the England football team, it is impossible. Once again, a new crop and possibly talented players have been scarred by failure at a major tournament. They will now carry that disappointment on their shoulders for years to come. It may have even been the fear of knowing what happened to previous squads that rendered them frozen when they needed to deliver. Now a holiday beckons, but they are unlikely to be the same after their four matches in white or red. As a man of a certain age, I have seen the national team struggle like a partygoer at this year’s Glastonbury in the mud. I’m
not here to blame but do feel that many England players were tactically naive, technically deficient and, on the final night, fearful. Fear manifests itself in many ways. How can we change things? Of course I don’t know the answer but for a team so dominant in qualifying to be so dismal against the opponents they faced, you feel there has to be a psychological issue. This may have developed over time. It may be in the genes. However talented the group is, they need leaders on the pitch and in the dug out. The excuses of long seasons doesn’t wash. Wales, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have all had arduous campaigns. They didn’t feel the strain. They embraced it. The country may have decided to exit the EU but I think another look at a
manager from abroad may be helpful. The draconian Capello didn’t work and the Eriksson experiment failed but there are some decent candidates. Hiddink? Maybe. I would be tempted by Klinsmann. He may not have been liked by many as a player but achieved success with USA. Gareth Southgate may not want the job despite the riches on offer but he’s a smart cookie. And he’s been there himself as a player. Is it a poisoned chalice? Probably. Is it a unique chance to be a national hero? Well, yes. We all think we may have the answers whether it’s restructure, recruitment or renaissance. We all might like a bash at it but in the far reaches of Russia or the heat of Qatar? It was disappointing to see the rather ignoble exit from Roy Hodgson refusing, then reluctant, to answer

Mills and Jordan set for T2O action with England Cricket
Sussex paceman Tymal Mills could make his England debut on Tuesday in a T20 international against Sri Lanka. Mills, 23, made a eyecatching start to the domestic T20 season, clean-bowling West Indian superstar Chris Gayle in Sussex’s victory against Somerset in May. He can bowl in excess of 90mph and is part of a 13man England squad, along with Sussex team-mate Chris Jordan, for the match at the Rose Bowl, which gets under way at 6.30pm.

Sussex seamer Ajmal Shahzad admitted it was a tough week for his side in this year’s annual Arundel Festival of Cricket. Badweathermeanteachday of the County Championship Division 2 match with Northamptonshire was interrupted and the match ended in a draw on Saturday. Chris Nash top-scored with 75 as Sussex were all out for 178 in their first innings. Northamptonshire declared on 478-5 in their reply as Adam Rossington struck 138 not out from 121 balls. Rob Keogh (75), Ben Duckett (72), David Murphy (60 not out) and Sean Terry (54) all posted half-centuries. Sussex were 145-2 from 57.5 overs in their second innings when play came to an end. Ed Joyce hit 60 and Nash scored his second half-century of the match, with 53. Sunday’s showpiece NatWest T20 Blast meeting with Gloucestershire was fortunately not affected by any rain delays. In front of around 6,000 fans, Sussex fell 11 runs short as they finished on 173-9 in reply to Gloucestershire’s 1844. Hamish Marshall smashed 90from55ballsforGloucester
questions on the reason for the team’s demise. He was emotional and tired. He may have been broken but he’s on on a hefty wage. The biggest in international football management. We would probably look the same after that performance, the game, the tournament. Glenn Hoddle is back in the frame. Maybe he had it right after all – faith healer Eileen Drewery or someone to get inside the players’ heads might help. Maybe Derren Brown, Paul McKenna or even David Copperfield can get involved. After yet another let down it’s certainly difficult for the fans to keep the faith or believe what they’ve seen.
Mills and Jordan could be in action for Sussex tonight when they host Middlesex at Hove (7pm). The duo will be hoping for a strong finish to the season, with another T20 international to come against Pakistan in September. All-rounder Jordan has been on international duty with England in the oneday series. He has played in just one of the four matches so far, taking 1-49 from ten overs in the abandoned game at Bristol on Sunday. The final one-day match of the series is in Cardiff on Saturday.

Sussex captain Luke Wright hits out against Gloucestershire at Arundel on Sunday
before Luke Wright topscored with 71 in Sussex’s reply. Shahzad said: “It was quite a tough week for us in the end. I came here last season and got injured with everyone telling me it’s hard-work for the bowlers, then on the first day against Northants we were skittled out. I was thinking this is not what
I’ve been hearing about this ground. “In the T20, I felt we were maybe a little weak bowling up front and at the death but there were plenty of positives to take for us.” Sussex head coach Mark Davis said: “The groundstaff deserve great credit for producing a really good wicket, for a little while there
was a worry whether it would be dry enough but there were no problems. “It’s obviously a fantastic place to come and play, it’s a little bit like an away ground having quite a way to travel each day so that can be tough, but to play in front of a crowd like the one we had and to take cricket to outgrounds is very important to us.”
