Trade unionists were blocked from voicing opposition to 20mph speed limits, when The Argus newspaper required changes to a proposed fullpage advertisement - after its editor took advice from city council officials. The controversial advertisement by the GMB - part of the growing opposition to plans by the Green-led council - is published on page 14 in today’s Brighton & Hove Independent.
carriageway devoted to wide bus and cycle lanes. The new layout, largely paid for by government grants, is aimed at cutting bus journey times by 30%, increasing bus passengers by 25%, and reducing car journeys by 10%. Fines for driving in the bus lane are £60 - or £30 for prompt payment within 14 days. Any fines levied must be used for transport.
Michael Beard, the editor of The Argus, had insisted the advertisement make no reference to a “blanket ban” or a “blanket” 20mph limit. On Tuesday, an article in his newspaper had reported: “The GMB has paid for an advert which will appear in The Argus tomorrow condemning the 20 miles per hour policy in the city.” No such advert appeared. Both the GMB and Unite the Union are backing Unchain the Motorist, the controversial group campaigning against a big extension in 20mph limits as well as high parking charges. An advertisement from Unite the Union is expected before the city council’s current consultation ends on Friday, October 4. The Argus had previously published three anonymous, fullpage messages from the pressure group, which quickly attracted 13 complaints to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). None of the full-page advertisements was marked as such. The newspaper subsequently revealed to its readers Continued on page 20
Biosphere bid submitted
A bid to achieve "Biosphere status" will formally be handed over today to a representative of UNESCO. After two years, the Brighton & Hove and Lewes Downs Biosphere Partnership will present the bid documents in a handover ceremony in Preston Park. The partnership hopes Biosphere status will drive up environmental standards by inspiring people to get involved with their local environment and encourage public and private and voluntary bodies to work more closely together. The proposed Biosphere covers the whole area between the River Adur and the River Ouse, including extending two nautical miles out to sea. To the north it follows the South Downs National Park boundary. In total, it has almost exactly the same area as the Isle of Wight. Chris Todd, chair of the partnership said: “ We now have to wait until next summer to see if we’ve been successful.”

QueenSpark celebrates city with graphic novel Laura Lockington QueenSpark Books - established in 1972 and now the UK’s longeststanding community publisher - have so far published more than 100 books. The latest offering is a fantastic graphic novel celebrating our city. Brighton - The Graphic Novel uses the history of one of the country’s most celebrated cities as its starting point. The result is a startlinglyoriginal and fascinating publication spanning more than 300 years from the 1700s to the present day. The foreword and cover design is from Bryan Talbot, a winner of the Costa Biography Award; he was responsible for Alice in Sunderland: an Entertainment, the inspiration for the new publication. Due to be launched on October 2, Brighton: The Graphic Novel is a tribute not only to the unique history of the city, but also to the 28 writers and artists who contributed their time and skills entirely freely. And to the team who paired them up and mentored them, to create the 14 fantastical
tales featured, along with their accompanying historical notes The vast wealth of talent - who all live in and around Brighton includes established comic creators such as Nye Wright, Iain Buchanan and Paul Stapleton, as well as rising stars such as Chris Hagan, Joe Blann, Katie Miller, Ottilie Hainsworth, Rob Simpson, and many more. All the stories focus on the lesser-known histories and hidden stories, shining a light on the inventors, fisherman, gangs, barbers, architects, quacks, transvestites, ne'er-do-wells, aspiring actors, and misfits that make up this uniquely quirky city. You can take a journey down the "twittens" of time to discover a Brighton you never knew existed... The book was funded by a Kickstarter online campaign that raised more than £2,500; the initial target had been just £600. Is it a comic? Is it a book? It’s both. And it’s the most wonderful collection of quirkiness that sums up our city perfectly. For further information, visit www.queensparkbooks.org. uk

Tories hit at traveller plans Conservatives are calling on the South Downs National Park Authority to reject an application to build a new permanent traveller site in the South Downs National Park at Horsdean, next to the existing transit site. They claim it would set a dangerous precedent for further development in the South Downs National Park and that the site sits on top of the aquifer that supplies much of the city’s drinking water.
Locating permanent and transit sites together will mean costly management and traffic problems, they argue. Councillor Geoffrey Theobald, Conservative group leader and ward councillor for Patcham, said: “The Patcham Conservative councillors are astonished that the Greens, supported by Labour, are still going ahead with this planning application given all the problems." For details of the plans, see page 9

Carelink: Lifeline for vulnerable people Jason Kitcat More than 6,000 vulnerable people across the city benefit from life-saving equipment as part of our community alarm service Carelink Plus. As part of the scheme, vulnerable people are given small alarm devices that they can use to automatically call us - 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The service recently celebrated its 25th birthday, but the service has developed over time. Newer devices can now detect sudden changes in barometric pressure - usually indicating a fall - and will automatically alert the Carelink service, which can send someone to check on the person. Carelink Plus also

works closely with the fire service and offers special smoke detectors, as well as organising home-safety visits. It means older or vulnerable people who are more prone to falls, living on their own, or who have health needs can enjoy an independent life in their own home for longer. They are able to have confidence that should anything go wrong, help is always available at the touch of a button.

Those who care for vulnerable people are able also able to run errands or spend time away, knowing that the cared for person can raise an alarm if they need any help. John Telling, a 94-year-old Brighton and Hove resident, recently had a fall, resulting in cuts and bruises to his head
and becoming unconscious. His pendant, however, automatically triggered an alarm to the Carelink Plus call centre. Staff contacted John’s family and friends, who were able to check on him. Paramedics arrived minutes later, taking John to Accident &
Emergency. He was discharged the following day and is now making a good recovery. John’s story is a great example of how we have supported people who want to
continue living independently in their own homes, despite health issues or ageing. For more information, visit: www.brighton-hove. gov.uk/carelinkplus

Conservative conference: Tolerant and generous Graham Cox In my former profession, I attended many party conferences. The highlights included guarding Margaret Thatcher and witnessing Norman Tebbit wheeling his wife back into the lobby of the Grand Hotel where she had been so grievously injured in the attempt to murder the government by the Provisional IRA four years earlier. I was equally privileged to be in charge of the security of inner zone when a frail Nelson Mandela made a moving speech to the Labour Party conference also here in Brighton. It was only two years ago that I attended the Conservative Party conference for the first time - as one of those unusual people who is so interested in politics that they become a member of a political party. Approaching the conference centre and realising the assorted demonstrators were shouting "Tory scum" directly at me was a little disconcerting. I had a conversation with one of the more reasonable ones, who was handing out leaflets attacking austerity. I gently tried pointing out that when we are in an economic crisis caused by debt that maybe borrowing even more is perhaps not such a good idea. But it fell on deaf ears. Ironically, by the end of my first conference, the lefties had given up and instead the abuse came from members of the Protestant Truth Society, who rather colourfully suggested my chances of going to heaven had receded somewhat following David Cameron’s welcome support for equal marriage. Some of the speeches in the secure zone can inevitably seem a bit stage-managed, but Boris will delight us all during the Conservative Party conference that starts in Manchester on Monday. Eric Pickles and William Hague always entertain and I will make a point of listening to everything Michael Gove and Ian Duncan Smith say. Giving opportunity to the poor and underprivileged is at the heart of why I chose to join the Conservatives. Our education reforms - free schools, the pupil premium, rewarding good teachers - are, at last, ensuring educational excellence is being made available to those children who up till now have been let down by an education establishment too willing to accept
the doctrine of low expectations. Ian Duncan Smith has dedicated himself to saving the welfare state by reforms - opposed at every stage by the Labour Party - which will ensure that people are no longer trapped on benefits - but, instead, are helped into work. The climax of the week will be the speech by David Cameron. Last year, he recognised that we are in an international race where reform and modernisation are essential to ensuring that our children can compete with the rest of the world. I expect the prime minister to build on this, making a positive speech that will reach out beyond the conference hall with a tolerant and generous message of opportunity for all. I am, though, most enthused by the lively discussion and debate that takes place at the fringe events. Here, a mixture of grassroots party members of all ages and backgrounds will be discussing how the modern Conservative Party can use can politics to make a real difference to people’s lives. Lively policy debate is a part of any healthy political party. Last year, I was fortunate enough to be seated next to a left-wing journalist at one of these packed debates. She (that narrows it down a bit!) told me that while she did not agree with many of the ideas, at least we (the Conservatives) debated in a way that was absent from the other party conferences. I am heading to Manchester full of enthusiasm. In David Cameron, the Conservatives have a leader who is prime-ministerial and does not simply appeal to his own supporters. The Brighton and Hove Conservative Party is getting stronger all the time. We know we must do everything we can to win outright in 2015 because the country, and our city, needs us. The Green Party has proved itself incapable of moving from a protest movement to a grownup administration. Twice in my lifetime, a Labour Government has overspent to such an extent that it has brought the country to the brink of bankruptcy. The electoral battle in our city will be crucial in ensuring they are not allowed to do so again. The party conference season is proving that only the Conservatives can be trusted with the stewardship of our economy. @CoxGraham Graham Cox, a former senior officer with Sussex Police, is Conservative Party councillor for Westbourne on Brighton and Hove City Council.

NEW COURSES STARTING FROM SEPT/OCT 2013
VISIT: WWW.IBECAME.ORG.UK with Elaine Leela
“With so much Doing in life... where are you finding the time to just BE?” YOU ARE UNIQUE, and what you do does matter. We are often so busy with giving our time to others, making sure we meet our obligations and responsibilities that we forget about ourselves. Or perhaps life changes have overwhelmed us and we sense that we don’t know ourselves any more? Mindfulness is a tool, a perspective that we can use to give ourselves the time to explore our experience. Mindfulness is a way of coming back to ourselves. It allows us to learn to experience the present moment in its fullness. Mindfulness can bring simplicity to the small things and challenges we may face. The aim of the programme is to learn new ways of being with our moods, emotions, thoughts and sensations through creating states of wellbeing that are lasting and reliable. We do this by noticing, focusing, and becoming aware of small changes in our thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Throughout the course you will focus on experiential, formal and informal mindfulness practices as a foundation for the cultivation of lifelong mental health and wellbeing. This experiential approach supports
the learning, strengthening and integration of a range of mindfulness based skills through the development and refinement of your internal resources. The benefits of Mindfulness • Mindfulness clarifies, creates and guides • Re-Connection with yourself and learning new ways of Being • New perspectives emerge and access to clarity deepens • You have the choice to respond skilfully • Self Knowledge/Self Awareness becomes an anchor in your decision making • Kindness/Self Compassion grows with the practices • Changing Mental Gears, choosing Being vs Doing • Clear communication with yourself and others New courses starting from Sept/Oct 2013.

The final four days Just four days remain to experience Brighton Digital Festival 2013’s incredible array of digital art and technology. But many exhibitions are still open and there is plenty to see this weekend before the festival closes on Monday - when there is a free wrap-up party for all! Not-to-be-missed, free art exhibitions include the computer art pioneer William Latham’s Mutator 1 + 2 at Phoenix. Local digital firm Clearleft is also using its new building to showcase "The New Sublime", an ambitious, artist-led exhibition featuring work from 11 digital artists at 68 Middle Street, Brighton. And, with the artist work rotating each week, there is more to see this weekend: an interactive 3D printing installation, a multi-sensory animation, and a digital therapist. Innovative digital artist Timo Arnall is exhibiting at Lighthouse until September 30, looking
at the invisible infrastructures that make up our technological world. This weekend sees one of the most exciting events of the month: The Rise and Fall of Geo Goynes, an outdoor, interactive event from Roots Experience that combines digital technology and theatre. Members of the public will be guided on a journey across the city for the ultimate real-life gaming experience. The games start at The Old Market at various times (see below) September 28 and 29. To take part, visit www. brightondigitalfestival.co.uk. Monday (September 30) will be your final chance to play Tiny Games for Brighton. These are a series of small, quick-tounderstand games, inviting participation from any interested passer-by. Look out for the Tiny Games posters and signs across the city in various central outdoor locations.
Light show by Timo Arnall and others
Glimmers is another interactive event on Brighton’s streets, taking groups on a fantasy sci-fi treasure hunt around the city centre until September 30. Brighton Digital Festival 2013 will conclude on Monday (September 30) with its 174th event of the month: a wrap-up party for everyone involved and all those who attended one of the many events at the festival. It’s open to all-comers, and takes place at the Blind Tiger Club. Doors open at 8pm with the first band at 8.30pm. For full details of all the events still to come, visit www. brightondigitalfestival. co.uk
Review: Creative, Digital and IT Open Studios Josh Boyd The Open Studios events allowed festival-goers to get an insight and learn from some of Brighton’s most innovative and dynamic businesses. Local companies opened their doors, with a programme of talks, tours and workshops. One of the highlights was the Brighton Media Centre’s event based around 3D technology. With the recent appearance of affordable 3D printers, this technology is experiencing a surge in popularity. Visitors to the
centre witnessed some fascinating demonstrations, including 3D laser engraving, with one lucky attendee winning a free 3D model of themselves. Crunch Accounting in Hove also ran a number of events over a few days. Their “Achieving Freelancing Awesomeness” talk, from the freelance adviser team was crowded and featured a questionand-answer session with Lord Parry Mitchell, Labour’s business ambassador and enterprise adviser. Darren Fell, Crunch’s managing director, advised on how to run a
disruptive business. Cogapp, the digital agency, hosted a breakfast for the launch of their “Project People” meetup - the idea being to bring together all the people who are the driving forces behind projects to share ideas and tips and talk about obstacles they face. With many other events from the likes of Online Creatives, Pure360, Dabapps and many more, Open Studios 2013 was a great success with more companies opening their doors than ever before and a record number of fully-booked workshops.

Listen to the voices of the “invisible women” Jean Calder One of the defining moments of the 2010 general election campaign was Gordon Brown’s confrontation with Gillian Duffy, the 65-yearold Labour supporter who asked him what he planned to do about benefits and immigration. Brown dismissed her as a “bigoted woman”. Duffy was fêted by the Tory press, who presented Brown as arrogantly indifferent to the concerns of ordinary people. This, however, masked a more significant reality, which was that the male leaders of all three parties largely failed to listen to women who were single, childless, older, workingclass, or poor. In 2010, 36% of women backed the Tories, compared with 31% for Labour. Since then, under David Cameron, women have borne the brunt of cuts in public service and benefits. A recent Ipsos Mori survey showed that only 29% of women now support the Tories, compared with 42% for Labour. This provides an opportunity for Labour, but there are no grounds for complacency. Voting intentions based on little more than notbeing-the-other-party, will always be unreliable. In addition, not all women are equally supportive of Labour. Among women over 50, subject to what Yvette Cooper has called “a toxic mix of sexism and ageism”, Labour has a lead of only three points. In 2010, the turnout among younger women voters - who are more likely to be Labour supporters - was just 39%. But, for older women, it was 67%. The day before the Labour Party conference began, there was an impressive one-day women’s conference. More than 1,000 female members met to
discuss issues relating to women including challenges faced by older women.
Women are suffering more than men under austerity Representatives of Labour’s Commission on Older Women presented an interim report. It confirmed that, though women are generally suffering far more than men under the government’s austerity measures, it is older women in their 50s and 60s who are hardest hit. Unemployment among women aged 50-64 has gone up by 41% over the last two-and-a-half years – compared with 1% overall. Before the 2012 conference, it had increased 31% to 142,000, compared with an overall increase of 4.2%. Unemployment among men aged over 50 had hardly changed. Journalist Jackie Ashley, from the commission, set out early proposals. She spoke movingly about the pressures of caring - for
her children, for her disabled father until his death, and then unexpectedly - for her husband, Andrew Marr, after his recent stroke. She described losing her job on television as she aged - a fate, which despite her husband’s illness and age, does not threaten his career or that of other older male presenters. She said ”We have a raft of ideas about how to support and help women stay in the workforce or return to it, and to make older women more visible in society. We want the BBC and other public bodies to have a specific duty to ensure equality for older women.” She explained the commission is “looking at ways to support carers,
Grandmothers are losing jobs and hours to provide free childcare since so many older women have to juggle looking after relatives with trying to earn enough money to keep going.” One idea the commission
More than 1,000 attended the Labour Party Women’s Conference in Brighton
discussed was the possibility that maternity leave could be shared not just with husbands, but with “grandmothers”. Jackie Ashley said this had given rise to interesting debate about whether legislation should be used to let many husbands off the caring hook and further entrap grandmothers, who are already losing jobs and hours to provide free childcare. The discussion was fascinating. Some women’s focus was discrimination in employment or being trapped in a caring role; for others, pensions, poverty or failures in the health and care systems. Many were deeply concerned for their daughters or their own old age. Common to all was a sense of frustration and some despair, that their voices had not been heard by the political classes. It was good to learn of the commission’s work, but dispiriting, too. Because, although we were assured that its insights would be
“fed through”, most speeches in the official conference and fringe meetings failed to address the needs of older and single women or even mention their plight. Labour’s proposal to increase free childcare is welcome. There is no equivalent commitment, however, to those forced out of work to care for elders and no strategy, it seems, to tackle older women’s unemployment nor improve their training. Neither is there a recognition that - unless Labour is prepared to address the thorny issue of sexist discrimination in colleges and workplaces - the proposed and very welcome house-building and apprenticeship schemes will benefit male workers alone. So, next time Ed Miliband stands on a pallet in a public place asking voters what we want, I hope there will be older women there to tell him. @JeanCalder101

Plans submitted for £1.7m site for travellers
A planning application for a permanent traveller site has been submitted to the South Downs National Park Authority. Plans for the site, next to the recently re-opened traveller transit site at Horsdean, have been drawn up by Brighton and Hove City Council. After the plans have been scrutinised and advertised, the park authority will undertake a public consultation before making a decision. Horsdean was chosen after a selection process that considered 50 possible locations. The proposal is to create a permanent traveller site by extending the existing transit site on the former Horsdean Recreation Ground, which was cut off with the building of the A27. The plans show 12 new permanent pitches along with 21 retained transit pitches. Each permanent pitch will consist of space for a static caravan and other vehicles, plus a kitchen, bathroom and dayroom in an amenity block. The proposals will also see the council's traveller liaison team move to a management building on the site, to ensure closer and better working with travellers and to reduce management costs.
Councillor Pete West, chair of the city council's environment, transport and sustainability committee, said: “We have worked with landscape advisors who are specialists in the national park to prepare a scheme that not only minimises the visual appearance of the new site through using the location at the bottom of the valley and by screening with new planting. It also reduces the visual impact of the existing transit site, so offering benefits to the national park setting.“ The site will be aimed at travellers with a local link, many of whom already regularly occupy spaces on the transit site. Council officials hope it will increase the council’s capacity to deal with unauthorised encampments although they accept the permanent site will not provide a complete solution. Tenants will have to sign a lease aimed at ensuring that any anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated. Like all council tenants, site residents will pay rent and be responsible for bills and council tax. Cllr West added: “As a section of society, Travellers suffer some of the worst levels of inequality; the addition of a permanent traveller site at Horsdean will give greater
Laura Lockington Wild Strawberries, by Angela Thirkell Thank goodness! A beautiful re-issue of a book by one of my favourite authors: Angela Thirkell. A book where I can absolutely guarantee you nothing really happens. Of course, that’s not strictly true, romance blooms, there’s a lot of very funny chatter over silver teapots, and the English aristocracy of the 1930s reveals itself in all its effortless eccentricities. That’s the joy of her. All of her books - and she was remarkably prolific - are pretty much the same. A dance party, a tea party, a handsome well-heeled young man and some eccentric aunts populate her books in a most satisfying way. You can sink into her books in the same way that you can slip into a warm bath at the end of a hard day, knowing that the elegance of the writing, the clever sarcasm, and the wonderful characters will take their hold of you, weaving their very special charm. It’s as English
as a summer picnic, complete with Pimms taken under the cedars of Stanmer Park. It’s so English, and there is so much tea-drinking in it that I have chosen it as the book I’m going to be talking about at the Allos Arts Festival in Italy in October. I’m going to be making cucumber sandwiches and taking Metrodeco Earl Grey tea with me and wooing the fiery Italians away from their prosecco and prosciutto. If you’re around Verona in October, do come and say hello. We can have a cup of tea. For more information about the Allos Arts Festival, visit: www.allos.uk.com/ literature.html
stability for travelling families and strengthen existing links with the local community that already exist with the transit site. "By adding pitch capacity, it will also reduce the likelihood of unauthorised encampments.” The council has identified a need for 14 to 16 permanent traveller pitches in the period up to 2016. If the council cannot show it is properly planning and working to meet that demand, then the City Plan will be at risk of being considered unsound
when it is examined in public. The transit sites provide shortterm pitches for travellers to stop for up to three months, while they are visiting an area for work, family matters or a holiday. The permanent site will provide long-term, secure residential pitches for either caravans or mobile homes. Although Horsdean is a transit site, some pitches are currently occupied by traveller households who are in need of permanent pitches. Thus, provision of a permanent site is
expected to free up transit pitches for those visiting the city. Horsdean is in a sensitive location for ground water and the council says it has given detailed consideration to how to handle waste water from the pitches. The proposal is that both the permanent and transit sites will be linked up to the mains sewer in Vale Avenue. For more information, visit: www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/ horsdeansite

Consultation is more than ticking boxes Public consultation is never easy. So often a legal requirement or a democratic entitlement, few bureaucracies - public or private, councils or companies - are very good at it. Of course, they try. They tick the boxes. They send out letters and leaflets, hold exhibitions, and organise meetings. Even in the digital age - when communication can be frequent, cheap, and even interactive - we never seem to get it right. Too many people feel voiceless, invisible, neglected and ignored. In many, maybe most, cases it is not even a lack of will. Many wellmeaning bureaucrats and even some politicians try their best. But, too often, plans and proposals are drafted in private, away from the public gaze, and then presented to citizens almost as a fait accompli - albeit one that is “subject to consultation”. One that can be tweaked at the edges, but is rarely subject to fundamental change. Real public consultation, however, starts much earlier. It starts with a shared problem, a communal challenge, a need that must be met. Most importantly, real consultation starts with a blank piece of paper. If it doesn’t, then it attracts more often than not the “usual suspects”: the political activists, the pressure groups, the vested interests, the extraordinary - even eccentric - individuals who speak only for themselves.
It’s never easy. But we can do better. Much better. Newspapers and other media have a significant role to play: to highlight the proposals as much as possible at the earliest possible, to help citizens to be as informed as possible about the issues and possible options - to encourage debate, rather than stifle it or ignore it. It seems clear that more time is needed to debate the city council’s proposals for “phase 2 of the programme to introduce 20mph speed limits in the city” (to quote the city council verbatim). But don’t let that stop you having your say before the October 4 deadline: http://bit.ly/18d46t7 Don’t let it stop you visiting the “exhibition” - even if it is little more than a pop-up banner, staffed by a lone (but very helpful and knowledgeable) council officer. The last two sessions are both at Hove Town Hall (10am to 5pm today, Friday, September 27; 9am to 1pm tomorrow, Saturday, September 28). Meanwhile, the council should be much clearer about what a 20mph limit will mean for individual roads - especially those that may require changes in road layout and traffic-calming measures. You may support a 20mph in your road, but do you know if it will mean speed bumps outside your bedroom? Don’t worry, though, you will be “consulted”. Later - rather than sooner.

Pedestrians ignored; pavements neglected Mike Holland's piece last week (page 13, September 20) echoed a thought that I have had for many years. I have worked with or for local government for more than 30 years and have seen at first hand how political decision-making can have detrimental effects for local voters. For true independence to work, however, a whole raft of national government funding and directives would have to be dismantled and I don't see that happening any time soon. Independent councillors and MPs find it almost impossible to get work done because political "clout" is what counts; nationally and locally, the "system" is heavily stacked against them. In Brighton and Hove, I am tempted to ask: "What have the Greens ever done for us?" We have lived here for 15 years and they are without doubt the most incompetent administration we have experienced. Their flagship policy of 20mph originated with the Liberal Democrats, who intended it for side roads, outside schools etc. Which most would agree is sensible. To have introduced
Pavements are cluttered in busy city-centre streets
it on main roads - at great expense, for signage - when it is unenforced and unenforceable is embarrassing and a gross waste of public money. I use public transport inside the city or walk. And it is as a pedestrian that I feel I have really suffered. Absolutely no byelaws seem to be enforced, so that our pavements have become cluttered with restaurant tables, chairs and "A-frames", while the situation is made worse by plonking bike
racks in all the wrong places. Much money has been spent on facilities for cyclists, yet the pavements have hardly been attended to. Many are cracked to the point of being dangerous and have never been more filthy. A minority of selfish cyclists are allowed to roam at will on the seafront and in pedestrian areas, such as George Street in Hove, as well as ignoring zebra-crossings and red traffic lights. Judith Taylor
Cities are for people – not cars In reply to Mike Holland’s comments (page 13, September 20), I’d like make some clear points that I - as a resident of Brighton - have with regard to the current debate on “unchaining the Brighton motorists” and “confronting anti-car dogma”. I have not voted Green in the elections, however many people did. And so, the party has a right to act according to its principles. As a resident, I am, however, absolutely fed-up of the pro-car lobby in Brighton. The sheer
arrogance of motorists in the city is stunning. I regularly have to walk around cars parked on the pavement, squeeze between cars parked on double-yellow-lines to cross the road. I get furious when car-drivers park in disabled spaces, when clearly they and their passengers are not disabled. I have to run when a car comes round a corner, trying to avoid being stopped at the lights, faster than the 30 miles per hour limit, never mind the 20
miles per hour being introduced. Can motorists please remember that cities are for people and not for cars? Cars are for transport and only one of a number of means of getting from A to B. As you can see, I would very much appreciate it if motorists could behave more respectfully to others. This is a particularly strong hint to Brighton taxi drivers too! Name withheld, Foundry Street

BHT is primarily for local citizens If what Michael Southgate says is true (letters, page 10, September 20) - that BHT is attracting “every dead-beat in the country to sunny Brighton” - then close us down. I want no part in adding to the challenges facing the city. We are full up. There isn’t the accommodation - and services are stretched to breaking point. The reality is that BHT works almost exclusively with people with a local connection; they must have accommodation, a job or family ties to the city. Should someone newly-arrived present themselves to one of our services, we - along with partner organisations including CRI, Central Sussex YMCA, and the city council - help people to relocate away from Brighton and Hove
because their best interests are probably not served by staying where they are unlikely to get housing, jobs or services. People don’t come to Brighton because of BHT’s services. They come for a whole host of reasons: downsizing from London, as students, because of happy childhood memories, the drug scene, to live by the sea. That is their right. But I don’t encourage it. Brighton is full up. But thanks, Michael, for saying BHT is good at what we do. The city would be far worse off without BHT, CRI, Central Sussex YMCA and many other thirdsector organisations doing great work locally. Andy Winter, chief executive, BHT

Who is there to help visitors? The Tourist Information Centre, currently located next to the Brighton Royal Pavilion Shop, is due for closure on Sunday (September 29). I was unaware of this until I called in to deliver some programmes for Brighton Little Theatre. Apparently, visitors are now able to go online to find the answers they need! - good luck to potential overseas guests! - or call in at the nearby travel centre in North Street. Is this their job and have you seen the queues there? Perhaps the poor individuals at reception in the Churchill
Square Shopping Centre can oblige? Never mind the potential linguistic problems, many of which have been dealt with by the Tourism Information Centre in the past. Perhaps it is all part of a plan to rid ourselves of these pesky visitors? After all, what benefits do they bring to the attractions, bars, cafes, conferences and exhibitions, restaurants, shops and stores, sporting events, taxis and transport, theatres, and the like. Perhaps the answers are out there somewhere? Is it just me? Alan Power

Fundamentalism restricts freedom Congratulations to Jean Calder (page 8, September 20) for a brilliant and lucid polemic against the wearing of the niqab. Distaste for hiding the human face like this has nothing to do
with Islamophobia - although it might reflect phobia about any and all fundamentalist religions that restrict the liberty of action and thought of our fellow humans. Peter Deadman

Proud journey from school to stage Mike Holland We all have regrets in life - and, I hope, proud moments, too. One such proud moment for me was watching my 22-year-old son, Stefan, in his first paid acting role. After studying hard for three solid years at drama school, this was the culmination of his efforts. He had managed to land himself a part in Scent of Flowers, having a two-week run at the Brockley Jack Studio Theatre. If I had any fears, they were soon dispelled as I proudly sat there watching my son, realising how good an actor he was becoming. I started to think how he had arrived at becoming this confident young man I was watching up on stage. I guess things changed for Stef when we moved him to Newlands School in Seaford. He quickly blossomed and became a competent goalkeeper, playing both for the school team and a
local junior league. Like most youngsters, he couldn’t wait to leave school. But I am sure, looking back, he will agree that his Newlands days were actually instrumental in forming the extremely pleasant chap that he has become. One of the important things that Stefan learned from attending a multicultural school such as Newlands is tolerance of other cultures and respect for different viewpoints. He seems to have friends from a multitude of ethnic backgrounds and from all walks of life.
He has friends from all walks of life Therefore, moving to regrets, I realised I certainly do not regret the day John Summers and I stepped in and took Newlands School out of administration, back in 2006 when it ran into financial difficulties. At the time, John had two children at the school. I had two of my sons and a granddaughter there; we certainly had no intention
Newlands School, Seaford Left: A Scent of Flowers at Brockley Jack Studio Theatre
of letting the school close, which we demonstrated by pouring money in, at an alarming rate, to get it back on track. John spent eight terms keeping the school going, with me hanging on for an extra two. Eventually, with John’s help, I managed to find a proper competent educational body in the form of Beacon House to take the school forward to the next level. Looking at Newlands now, with
my youngest son David having just entered his penultimate year, I realise Beacon House have more than kept by their pledge of moving the school to the next level. My children and John’s have flourished and - thanks to us - the school not only remains open, but has also moved forward to becoming the place of excellence it is today. Newlands - under headmistress, Tula Dyer, with her deputy, Adrian
Cooper - is an entity of which Sussex can be rightly proud. If the doubters had forced their will upon us, it would have become a housing estate and the school would have been lost forever. Thank goodness that did not happen, I thought, as I proudly watched the confident young man up on stage and realising that he was my son. @RealMikeHolland

Hackathon sheds fresh Greg Hadfield
First, a couple of definitions. Hackathon: also known as a “hack day”, an event at which computer programmers and other digital specialists collaborate intensively and speedily on software projects. Big data: a collection of data sets that are so large that they can be processed only using technologies developed in the internet age. Brighton and Hove has witnessed its most ambitious big-data hackathon. Its goal was to investigate data relating to the financial crisis, in the hope of working out what happened, and why. And, in one project, to answer the crucial question: Where did all the money go? So it was that more than 50 “hackers”, from diverse backgrounds, came together over a weekend characterised by a lack of sleep, lots of pizza, and even more energy drinks. The outcome of their collective hackery were on display on Saturday (September 21) at an exhibition at the University of Brighton. Organisers claimed the hackathon - part of the Brighton Digital Festival - unearthed a disturbing correlation between “Quantitative Easing” (QE) and the widening wealth gap in the UK. They highlighted statistics that appeared to show a dramatic increase in the wealth gap at precisely the time QE was introduced. In their words: “The uppermost income decile is now moving away from all other income levels at a rate that greatly exceeds that observed before the crisis.” In short - as a result of actions
to tackle the crisis - the richer got richer, while the poor got poorer. Another project - known as “The Habitat Project” - looked at how housing availability has been affected by the financial crisis. It found that a long-term trend, towards housing becoming less affordable, accelerated as QE and the bank bailouts began. Sam Zindel, one of the organizers, said: “There have been a lot of concerns about the efficacy of quantative easing and these results show that rather than helping to kickstart economic growth in the UK, as was the intention, it has simply helped to line the pockets of the rich and make housing less affordable for the average person on the street. “No one has really looked into where all the QE money went, mainly because there is just so much data out there, that it can seem overwhelming to know even where to start. But data scientists at the hackathon have the knowledge and the technology to mine the vast amount of publiclyavailable data to reveal these new insights.” The hackathon comprised five project teams interrogating large open-data sets from a variety of sources, including The World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Office of National Statistics. The results of eight projects were visualised using advance technology and presented in a gallery exhibition at the University of Brighton to tell the story of the financial crisis in compelling, innovative and fun ways.

Eight d The teams who took part in the “big data” hackathon explain what they created and what they found: Project #1: Interactive timeline of the financial crisis and recovery We built an interactive, motioncontrolled timeline charting the financial crisis and recovery (2007 to today), using data from the daily index prices of the world’s most valuable stock exchanges. Key moments from the period appear on screen to narrate the story. Project #2: Where did all the money go? We traced the money pumped into the UK economy from each round of quantitative easing to try and explain where it ended up. The results show there is a strong correlation between the onset of the crisis and a reduction of the wealth gap - and then a dramatic increase in the wealth gap at the beginning of quantitative easing and the bail-outs. The uppermost income bracket is now moving away from all other income levels at a rate that greatly exceeds that observed before the crisis.
www.brightonandhoveindependent.co.uk
light on financial crisis
data-driven projects Project #3: Spiralling costs We examined the basket of 600 products and services that make up the Retail Price Index (RPI), which is used by the government to determine the rate of inflation. It reveals which goods are increasing in cost relative to all others in the index. There was a sharp drop in the RPI following the onset of the crisis, but this is mainly because it includes mortgage-interest payments. This project breaks out the products individually so that those that were affected by the crisis most strongly can be highlighted. Project #4: Educational computer game - “Sim Banker” We designed and built a characterbased computer game that places the gamer in the role of an investment banker. By financially rewarding the banker for making riskier and riskier deals - including the infamous “collaterised debt obligations”, or CDOs, and mortgage debt purchases – the banker not only visibly grows fatter but also ultimately causes the financial crash. News bulletins from the financial crisis were integrated into the game to provide real-life context.
Project #5: Habitat loss for humans The habitat project looked at a number of different statistics related to housing and its availability and affordability in the UK. The affordability index (the ratio between house prices and personal income) is the most striking, showing a longterm trend towards less affordable housing in the UK - which slows briefly during the first year of the crisis, then accelerates again when fiscal stimulation and the bank bailouts start. The output of this project includes several pieces of artwork by the FastArts collective, interpreting the community and neighbourhood data sets we analysed - as well as ambient, amphibian audio representing the impact of the crisis on other species! Project #6: Stock ‘n’ roll – a Google Earth treasure hunt We plotted the world’s top 20 stock exchanges on a motion-controlled application of Google Earth, using a Leap Motion controller to navigate the planet. Participants are challenged to find all 20 locations
and the data hidden in each stock exchange, which includes a live news feed, real-time stock index prices, and market capitalisation values. Project #7: The web of the global crisis A visualisation of the relationships of 750,000 Wikipedia articles related to the global financial crisis. Articles were allowed to cluster, based on their common linkages to other articles to form a 3D network. Project #8: The LIBoR fraud detector From January 2005 to December 2008, up to 16 of the world's largest banks were fraudulently manipulating the key rate on which all banking on the planet is based: the London Interbank Borrowing Rate (LIBoR). A graphic shows the difference between the actual average rate and the rate the banks were reporting. Roughly speaking, the greater these differentials the more money the banks could potentially steal. Circles next to each bank show the accumulated potential fraud.

Introducing…City speaker with "S Factor" Steve Bustin - of Vada Media, the Brighton-based training company - won the London Professional Speaking Association’s “Speaker Factor” competition and will now represent London and the South East at national finals next month. A former BBC journalist, he had to deliver a five-minute talk on the power of a good introduction. We asked him to share some of his tips with us.
Steve Bustin Very few of us ever think about how we introduce ourselves. We tend to use the same words and phrases that we’ve always used...but they’re often not the best choice of words. There are three things I think you can do to strengthen your introduction. Firstly, does your audience and that can be anyone from a full conference hall to someone you’re chatting to at a business event actually understand the language
you use? I’ll give you an example. I used to work in PR – public relations – and I always assumed people knew what that meant when I introduced myself. After a few people had sidled up to me afterwards and asked: “Steve, PR? What do you actually do?”, I realised my assumption was wrong. I started to tell people I helped others “get their names in the papers”. That seemed to do the trick. A good route to a clear way to introduce yourself is to find a friendly six-year-old and ask them to explain what it is you do. Children have a simplicity of language and an unerring ability to cut to the heart of the matter. We can learn a lot about clarity of thought and word from them. The second major issue is differentiating ourselves. A lot of people fail to explain what sets them apart from their competition when they introduce themselves. Think about your introduction as establishing your credentials and, instead of trying to explain “this is what I do and why you should buy from me”, try using your introduction to explain “this is why it’s worth listening and
Steve Bustin with the judges
talking to me”. Lastly, a lot of people, whether a speaker or a business person, tend to lapse into cliché when they introduce themselves. All of a sudden they sound like a candidate on The Apprentice. The clichés I’m hearing most at the moment are people describing themselves as “creative” and “passionate” about what they do. If you have to tell me you’re creative or passionate, you’re not. Creative people don’t have to point it out, we can just tell – and likewise passion. You know when you’ve met someone with true
passion from the way the talk and act, so if you have to tell me you are, you’ve failed. You do need to think about how you introduce yourself and your business – but then forget it. No one wants to listen to a script (or an “elevator pitch”) and no two introductions should ever be the same, just as no two audiences or individuals are the same. Aim for honesty, clarity and to differentiate yourself and your services and you won’t go far wrong. For more information, visit www.vadamedia.co.uk
City in buyto-let top 20
Brighton and Hove is in the top 20 university towns and cities when it comes to landlords making a profit from buy-to-let properties. Research by Zoopla, the online property search company, shows that the average monthly rent asked for four-bedroom properties in the city is £1,668. With an average asking sale price for a similar property being £516,274, Zoopla calculates the gross yield for buy-to-let property-owners is 3.88% - just above the national average of 3.79%. Glasgow came top of the list of 43 towns and cities, with a yield of 4.95%; in Glasgow, a four-bedroom property costs £262,488 and rents at £1,083 a month. Hull and Manchester also made the top three. Meanwhile investments in Carlisle, Middlesbrough and Bournemouth are financially the least rewarding, the study found. The rental yield on a property is the annual return an investor can expect to make. It is worked out by calculating a year's rental income as a percentage of how much the rental property cost in the first place. Zoopla's findings were made for gross yields, before the deduction of tax and expenses.
What Children Know… Two recent films pack a powerful punch when it comes to the plight of children caught in the middle of family break up. As a collaborative family lawyer and mediator I think both films highlight the ‘unintended’ emotional abuse subjected on children. ‘What Maisie Knew’ shows a young child learning to survive divorce and as a consequence growing up all too quickly; Divorce robs her of her innocence as she gets caught up in her parents’ battles. This adaptation of the Henry James’ 1897 novel is set in contemporary New York, Maisie is daughter of rock star mother and Art Dealer, mostly absent father, played by Steve Coogan (with an ego to match that of his Alan Partridge character.) Maisie’s world is an upside down, inside out one; forced to observe all that goes on but only understanding half of what she witnesses. Wearing shoes, symbolically way too big for her and a backpack with a wise owl on while her parents dress and act like children, her mothers ‘playroom’ is a home studio, where she is seen earphones firmly on, refusing to hear anything but her own voice.
I was appalled by how both parents play hard and dirty to win ‘custody’ of Maisie then promptly neglect her. Leaving her with their younger, trophy partners who get no say in the matter. Particularly poignant is that both parents make endless claims about just how much they love Maisie, but are completely blind to how that love is expressed. This is something that thankfully I see less of when working with separating parents who choose the collaborative rather than the adversarial route; parents who want to put their children first. ‘The Way Way Back’ is a sad comedy with potent messages about life post divorce. This time seen through the eyes of teenager Duncan caught up in the antics of his dysfunctional family. On holiday with his divorced mum and her horrendous new boyfriend, he watches the adults act like teenagers whilst being neglected and humiliated. Blind to the damage they do the adults believe they are actually helping Duncan with his much needed personal development. Through humour the film sets the arrested development of adults alongside the forced maturing of their children. Learning new ways of communicating after divorce is hard and takes time, dare I say it… you
have to be a grown up. In my work I help parents see that the way they interact will always affect their parenting and in turn their child’s wellbeing. If they can’t communicate effectively post separation their children carry the burden. Some parents believe it’s best to communicate through their children rather than have direct contact, sending messages via children seems like a good way of avoiding conflict but actually the opposite is true. Ultimately when children witness arguments between parents and are asked to carry messages between them they feel trapped and burdened. It forces children to grow up too quickly and does long term emotional damage. So I would advise any parent who is either contemplating or going through a separation to go and see these films; using the processes I advocate many of the really sad consequences of family breakdown can be avoided.

Exclusive: The first single citywi Continued from page 1 – and to council officials - who had paid it to carry the advertisements. As late as Wednesday morning, Grant Elgin, The Argus sales manager, was still trying to negotiate changes to the proposed advertisement with the GMB. He wrote in an email: “The councils [sic] main points are as follows. The headline on the advert and the icon on the left leads the reader to presume the council is pursuing a speed limit across the entire city. As we discussed [...] this relates to the word ‘blanket’. The council also say that arterial routes are not in the consultation. The council also ask for a source on the claim about cost.” Council sources confirmed that officials had advance sight of the proposed advertisement and that they had objected strongly about reference to a “blanket” 20 mph limit - which they described as “untruthful”. For their part, union officials became increasingly frustrated by what they saw as attempts to “strongarm” them into watering down their message. The new row over 20mph limits come as we publish the first single citywide map of the detailed proposals in nine “consultation areas”. It also coincides with a series of exhibitions at Bartholomew House, Brighton, and Hove Town Hall. The exhibitions - comprising a pop-up banner and a single council official in reception areas
- have attracted few visitors. Separately, we can reveal that some roads that see speed limits reduced to 20mph may also see other significant, but as-yet-unspecified changes - such as speed bumps, crossings, and traffic islands - to encourage drivers to slow down. The Department of Transport recommends that 20mph road signs are not sufficient in themselves on roads where average speeds are currently higher than 24mph. The Brighton & Hove Independent can reveal that average speeds for roads where “specific comment” is invited in the ongoing 20mph consultation are: Eastern Road, 23.4mph; Whitehawk Road, 26mph; Portland Road (western half), 24.8mph; Portland Road (eastern half), 20.9mph; Shirley Drive, 28.9mph; Surrenden Road, 29mph; Carden Avenue, 28.9mph. The city council has not commented on what road layout or traffic-calming measures might be considered for roads where the average speed is higher than 24mph. Nor has it indicated what they might cost. Speed bumps are thought to be unsuitable on many roads, particularly on those used repeatedly by bus-drivers or taxidrivers, who risk injury. Councillor Pete West, chair of the environment, transport, and sustainability committee, said: “Some roads have been identified as needing specific consultation after conversations with the stakeholders including the bus
company and the taxi trade as well as concerns which have been expressed by local communities and we’re working hard to make sure as many voices as possible can be heard. “The road safety team are also looking at some areas separately, but any changes to road layout or traffic calming measures would only be implemented after full consultation.” Before publishing today’s hardhitting advertisement, Brighton & Hove Independent took advice from the ASA and from the Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP), which write and maintain the country’s advertising codes. A copy advice executive for CAP said: “We have reviewed the ad under the CAP Code. Broadly speaking, we think it is likely to be acceptable as long as the GMB hold evidence to support their claims. In particular, they would need to be able to show the council have not collated any evidence of the effect of ‘Phase 1’. “The reference to ‘stubbornness’ is probably just about OK, in the sense that the ad will be seen as reflecting the views and opinions of the GMB in light of the council’s failure to collate evidence for phase 1. As mentioned above, the ad strongly suggests the council have not collated evidence as they should, so the GMB would need to hold evidence for this.” By last night, Mr Beard had not replied to questions put to him by the
Brighton & Hove Independent about the GMB advertisement: • Why did you consult the council about the advert before deciding not to publish it? Is this normal practice? • Did you consult the Committees on Advertising Practice about the contents of the advertisement? • Why did The Argus not publish the advert on the day it said it would? Will it publish the advertisement - or one similar in content - in the future?

Brighton and Hove has been voted the UK’s third-happiest town or city in a recent survey. The city only narrowly lost out to Sheffield and Edinburgh in the poll.
Daredevil volunteers raised more than £16,000 for the Martlets Hospice. About 70 people plunged from the clifftop at Peacehaven in what was hailed an overwhelming success by organisers at the Brighton hospice.
Fire crews across the city went on strike on Wednesday because of a row over pensions. The four-hour industrial action went ahead after union members voted in favour of a walk-out. Emergency cover was provided and 999 calls answered as usual.

A film director from Hove raised £77,000 through a website that asks people to help fund future arts projects. Scott Imren plans to use the cash to make a documentary called The Killing of Tony Blair, with Respect MP George Galloway said to be involved.
A pub could be converted into homes, if recently submitted plans are given the go-ahead. Developers want to transform the London Unity in Islingword Road into two separate houses. Earlier similar proposals met with public opposition.
A campaign to raise awareness of the problem of homophobia in football received the backing of a number of Albion players. Stonewall asked players across the country to wear rainbow laces during last weekend’s fixtures and Seagulls stars, including Lewis Dunk and Casper Ankergren, did just that.
A production company was this week celebrating after being given a £215,000 grant. Zap Art will use the cash to fund a performance in the city later this year. The show will include 100 performers and been put on for free at two local venues.
Traveller site on agenda Brighton and Hove City Council has unveiled plans for a permanent traveller site on the city’s outskirts. A planning application has been submitted for a site next to the A27. The South Downs National Park Authority will now consider the proposals before consulting residents.

A digital media apprentice whom City College Brighton and Hove’s City Apprenticeships team placed with an expanding digital media company has been made an account executive at the company on completion of her apprenticeship. Katy Knight, 19, became part of SeeThat’s team providing video agency services, digital video production and video editing for clients in Brighton, London, Cardiff and Manchester. Her apprenticeship ran in tandem with the company’s inhouse training programme, the SeeThat Academy. She impressed her employers so much with her confidence and skills that they decided that she was ready to take on responsibilities, such as managing live projects with highprofile organisations and liaising with the client and production team to create and deliver projects. Katy is also taking on office management responsibilities within the company. City Apprenticeships recruitment consultant Nicole Bass, who originally arranged Katy’s apprenticeship at SeeThat, said: “Katy’s maturity and work ethic was evident from the outset and I think she’s a fantastic ambassador for apprenticeships in general. With commitment and
Nicole Bass, Katy Knight, and Tim Jarvis
the right attitude, it can clearly be a stepping stone to a successful career in your chosen profession." Tim Jarvis, managing director of SeeThat, said: “The SeeThat Academy was created to attract talented young individuals such as Katy and provide them with the skills and knowledge to progress into a full role as the company continues to grow. "Katy has helped organise and manage some high-profile projects including an ongoing series of videos with Great Ormond Street Hospital and we’re delighted that she’s graduated from her apprenticeship into a full-time
role.” Katy said: "Working within a growing company like SeeThat has given me a huge insight into the media industry and the career I wanted to achieve. I received so much input from the team which has definitely contributed to how much I've learnt and my promotion within the company."

PM supports ambitious Pilates entrepreneurs
Paul Coneyworth gives the prime minster a personalised t-shirt
Entrepreneurs behind an ambitious new Pilates studio have been welcomed to 10 Downing Street by David Cameron. The prime minister hosted a reception for the people behind BeauPilates - which opened its 2,500 sq ft studio near Preston Park this week - as well as those behind other promising start-ups from across the country. Joining them were leading politicians as well as James Caan, formerly of BBC2's Dragon's Den programme and now chair of StartUp Loans, a government-funded
scheme to support new businesses. Mr Cameron told the reception for 50 entrepreneurs: "I am determined to do all I can to support the British economy and that includes helping small businesses and budding entrepreneurs to get on. In the last two years, we have helped tens of thousands of people to turn their ideas into a viable business, and this additional support will help thousands more. "My message is simple: if you have drive, determination and are prepared to work hard, we will
back you." James Caan said: "It's great to see the Prime Minister recognising the continued success of the Start-Up Loans programme by again, providing further funding to expand the initiative to enable many more budding entrepreneurs to receive start-up support. With the extra funding, I'm keen to see those over 30, former armed forces and returning mothers to work embracing their entrepreneurial spirit, turning their skills and passion into new businesses with the help of Start-Up Loans." Paul Coneyworth, 25, a former professional footballer with Hull City and Aldershot, is the master trainer for BeauPilates. Having previously worked for a leading Pilates company in Mayfair and Notting Hill, he is used to rubbing shoulders with celebrities and high-profile clients, including Claudia Schiffer, Trinny Woodall, Tamara Ecclestone, and well-known newsreaders and journalists. Paul's partner, Nadia Apps, 25, is a fellow director of BeauPilates and is involved in the marketing of the business - along with Christy
Paul Coneyworth (left) and Christy Hall
Hall, 26, who is the head of marketing and recruitment. The mission of BeauPilates s to provide fitness-based Pilates, highcalibre instructors, and a highspecification, fully-equipped studio to serve the leafy Preston Park area of Brighton, as well as the city’s northern reaches. Christy Hall said: "Our vision is to bring together a community of individuals who all share an interest in our services and philosophy. "BeauPilates will also aim to
impact positively on a healthconscious demographic of people through the application of a ‘Circle of Care’ belief, that encompasses expert personal training, physiotherapy, osteopathy and sports massage as well as our largest resource: Dynamic Pilates classes."

Bridges and Reynolds turn supernatural R.I.P.D. (12A) Running time: 96 mins Director: Robert Schwentke Starring: Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon,
The CGI effects are embarrassingly dodgy and the script is a bare-faced rip-off of Men In Black, but R.I.P.D. is still a decent amount of fun, thanks to some amusing gags, a handful of nice ideas and a pair of enjoyable comic performances from Reynolds and Bridges. What’s it all about? team of undead police officers Directed by Robert Schwentke, working for the R.I.P.D (Rest In R.I.P.D stars Ryan Reynolds as Peace Department), tracking down Boston cop Nick Walker, who’s evil dead souls who have escaped gunned down by his dirty cop judgement and are still at large in partner Bobby (Kevin Bacon) the living world. after he says he’s going to turn in Nick then finds himself the gold they recently found on a partnered with cantankerous exroutine drug bust.

own murder. And things quickly get worse when Nick realises that Bobby plans to involve his widow Julia (Stephanie Szostak) in his evil plan. The Good Reynolds adopts his usual likeable screen persona for Nick, to solid effect; it also makes a refreshing change to have him adapt to his other-worldly circumstances so
quickly, instead of R.I.P.D. spending half an hour on gormless ‘What-the-hell-isgoing-on?’-style reactions and explanations. There’s also amusing support from Parker and Bacon makes an enjoyably cheerful villain, but the film really belongs to Jeff Bridges, who’s clearly having a whale of a time riffing on his True Grit performance, sparking appealing chemistry with Reynolds into the bargain and nabbing all the best lines. R.I.P.D.’s script is a blatant rip-off of Men In Black (so much so that they’re probably owed royalties), but it delivers a decent amount of brainless fun and it does have a handful of nice ideas, such as the fact that ‘deaddos’ are responsible for malfunctioning
machinery or that dead Nick and Roy appear to the world as an old Chinese man (James Hong) and a beautiful blonde (model Marisa Miller), respectively. The Bad The biggest problem with R.I.P.D is the special effects, which are decidedly dodgy and end up giving everything a cartoonish feel that is frequently distracting (to be fair, it may have been a deliberate attempt to reference the film’s graphic novel origins, but if that’s the case, it backfires). On top of that, the script doesn’t spend enough time on the relationships for the business with Szostak’s character to really mean anything, so it fails to achieve the intended emotional impact. Worth seeing? The dodgy special effects occasionally threaten to derail R.I.P.D, but the gags and performances ensure that it’s still an entertaining watch in a brainless-Friday-night-fun sort of way.

Little Fish Market, 10 Upper Market Street, Hove BN3 1AS
Website: www.thelittlefishmarket.co.uk Telephone: 01273 722213
Riding a huge wave of success It’s not often you come across a hidden gem such as The Little Fish Market. Unless you were out looking for it - tucked away on Brunswick Street West you’d hardly know it was there, So why is this small fish restaurant fully booked weeks in advance? I met with owner and head chef, Duncan Ray, to find out. Sitting opposite me in his chef whites in the bright dining area of his restaurant, Duncan tells me his career began as a pot wash; he was fortunate enough to have “lucky break after lucky break”. Moving from his first stint in a kitchen in his hometown, he soon found himself training with Marco Pierre White, where “straightaway that was my style: high-end, good quality food,” Duncan says wistfully, blue eyes gazing fondly across the restaurant. His other credits include the early days at The Fat Duck in Bray alongside Heston Blumenthal, which he describes as “extremely eye-opening”, before travelling and returning to take the head chef position at Pennyhill Park Hotel, where he
earned three AA rosettes. His hunger to learn and unquenchable thirst to better himself saw Duncan named as one of the top chefs in the UK, at the tender age of 22. Soon finding the protocol of working for large hotels slightly disillusioning, Duncan reassessed and set up a business providing Michelin-star cuisine for A-listers. It was through this project that Duncan discovered when he showcased his work to an array of customers and worked closely in their home, the feedback was honest and sincere. He used this ethos when creating The Little Fish Market and wanted to bring an upfront and homely atmosphere to the restaurant. “It’s like my living room,” Duncan says, with a smile. Choosing Hove wasn’t hard for Duncan, who refurbished the restaurant with his own fair hand. Upon being complimented for the gorgeous terracotta ceramic floor, Duncan lets on that he laid it all himself. It was small trinkets of information like this that conveyed the love and affection Duncan has for his first solo restaurant venture.
Every dish is cooked by Duncan, with a kitchen porter on hand to support during busier periods. The Little Fish Market keeps its menu simple, yet highly effective. “I buy only off day boats, so it’s as local as it can be...I don’t use any kind of farmed fish, I don’t believe in that,” Duncan says, with honesty. “If a product doesn’t come in, I can’t just get another fish for that dish and expect it to work...they’re engineered dishes.” For a menu that is everevolving and changes with the tide, you can rest assured that each dish is a sublime testament to Duncan’s skill and technique. Mackerel with quail, turbot and baby artichoke, monk fish and pork belly are a few of the dishes that Duncan prepares. “On average, we turn away 60-80 covers on a Friday or Saturday night,” says Duncan. I ask if there are any plans to expand, to which a firm no is the reply. Duncan feels that Hove is the right home for The Little Fish Market and with the hard graft he’s put in to making the establishment his own, I understand why an expansion
wouldn’t be on the cards. Currently sitting as the No1 restaurant in Brighton and Hove on TripAdvisor and with an entry in The Good Food Guide 2014, Duncan is riding a huge wave of success and long may he deservedly do so. It wouldn’t surprise me if we soon see Brighton and Hove’s first Michelin-starred restaurant in The Little Fish Market. Duncan is modest, sincere and above all driven by his undying passion for customer satisfaction and top end cuisine. Book ahead and savour one of the best meals – if not the best -
you can have in the city. Duncan Ray’s top three fish 1 Monkfish 2 Sea bass 3 Red mullet Fantastic wine pairings: • Try a dry and aromatic Sancerre Blanc with grilled red mullet. • Pair a crisp and fresh Macon Village Chardonnay with a creamy sea bass dish. • An Italian wine would work wonders with a roasted, meaty monkfish. Choose a light red such as the Bardolino Classico.
Food Review: Pan Asian food at Yum Yum Ninja Not since the arrival of Wagamama have I looked at a menu and felt just a little bit lost, but that didn’t last long once entering Yum Yum Ninja - the new Pan Asian Kitchen in The Lanes. A warm welcome and an easy bench style seat preceded an informative two minute tour through the menu by the friendly host who also managed to do this without making either of us feeling like idiots. It’s quite simple he said “you just work the menu from left to right choosing 3 options maybe 4 if you are really hungry, a bit like tapas. You can have meat, meat and meat if you want to but we recommend that you choose from our range of meat, fish and
salads” - and it’s true to say the variety was incredible. We took the plunge and chose Dim Sum, steamed bbq pork and fried crispy prawn pancake. This was followed by a delicious leg of duck which was as good as any Chinese restaurant will serve, but then arrived quite simply three of the most beautiful freshly made, stunningly presented dishes I have received in a long time and that was not here in the UK. Beef Tataki - a seared beef sirloin dish which melted on descent, a tray of deliciously prepared Chef’s Mixed Sashimi with everything you would expect; including tuna, salmon, sea bass ginger, and edamame beans all beautifully displayed - and then
a creative and very tasty lobster salad. With different sauces and dips for each dish and attentive (not annoying), knowledgeable and friendly staff it was a fun evening in a warm and cosy atmosphere. Surprisingly we nearly turned down the dessert menu but were encouraged to sample the platter of puddings which delighted in equal measures. No room for coffee, tea, rice or noodles this was not only the tastiest meal I have had in a long time but probably the healthiest too. Yum Yum Ninja can be found in the heart of The Lanes; 15-18 Meeting House Lane, Brighton BN1 1HB
01273 326330 www.yumyumninja.com Yum Yum Ninja have also just launched their “Business Ninja Club” - a £5 lunch menu every weekday between 12-2 along
with free WIFI and networking with fellow ninjas. The menu will change on a weekly basis so check the Yum Yum Ninja Facebook Page for updates on www.facebook.com/YumNinja.

Fashion and lifestyle If you want to get ahead at work, dress like your colleagues The secret of getting ahead in the workplace is simple – dress like your colleagues, new research reveals. Debenhams has found that climbing the corporate ladder isn’t just about putting in the hours and hitting targets. Staff need to dress to impress – and more specifically, like their boss or co-workers. This has led to a new office trend of “work twins” – the key look for the new season. The retailer surveyed 2,000 people on work place dressing and six in ten (61%) said that dressing like their colleagues created a better team spirit and a higher level of productivity. Half of those (54%) said that they were heavily influenced by what their managers and colleagues wear to work, while a third (33%) said their team deliberately buy the same clothes and plan to wear them on the same day. 32% of people surveyed found themselves accidently dressing like their colleagues on average 2-3 days per week – a subconscious action that is a reaction to spending so much time together. ‘Checked shirt Fridays’ and ‘Blue Mondays” were popular with men, while female workers have
become fans of ‘Monochrome Mondays’ and ‘Floral Fridays’. The majority of managers surveyed (68%) also said that staff with a similar style to them gained brownie points and were more on their radar. Spokesperson for Debenhams Ed Watson says: “The trend for workplace copycats has been on the increase and it is now a running joke in most offices when colleagues turn up in similar attire.” “The standard is usually set by the boss on the style expected for work and then the rest of the workplace follows suit.” As many will be returning back to work this week after the summer break, how to dress will be hot on the agenda, especially after a hot summer of casual work dressing. Debenhams has seen workwear sales spike by 53% in the last week as people prepare to return to the office. Top trends seen across the work place include; monochrome, nautical and even animal print depending on place of work. Designer at Debenhams Be de Lisi says; “For a key trend this season inject vivid reds for a strong look – they are the perfect way to brighten any work wardrobe.”

A new treatment available at The Hut Lynn James My appointment was at 09.15 at The Hut, based on Duke Street in The Lanes for a new treatment with the ‘easygo’ machine. I arrived and was shown to their upstairs salon which is a very relaxing environment. My beautician was a lovely girl called Kerry-Ann. I was offered a cup of tea and Kerry-Ann explained how the treatment works. The treatment uses ‘Radiofrequency’ which is a series of electromagnetic waves that directly heats up the connective tissue without damaging the upper layers of skin. The heat causes the collagen to contract and produce new collagen. Which all sounded very impressive, but the proof would be in the mirror after the treatment! I must admit I am always a little sceptical with any new beauty treatments. I was then shown to a treatment room, where after removing all my jewellery and shoes I laid on the treatment bed. Kerry-Ann started to apply a cool gel to my face, she told me that she would treat one half of my face first so that she could take a photo and I could look in the mirror to see the difference from my untreated half. The ‘probe’, which puts you in
A beautician demonstrates the treatment on a client
mind of something quite intrusive, is quite the opposite - a flat based piece of state of the art equipment; which as soon as it touches your skin is really relaxing and I found it quite therapeutic and enjoyable. Kerry-Ann carried on gently rotating the ‘probe’ on my face and neck for about 20 minutes. When she stopped, she asked me to sit up for a photograph and she showed me my face in the mirror. I was quite taken aback as there was definitive visible difference between the two sides of my face (which without makeup is always quite scary). She carried on for a further 15 minutes and again took another photograph of the finished result. I have to say, there is a
remarkable difference after the treatment; my whole face looks refreshed and my neck looks so much softer and visibly tighter which is fabulous! I will be booking a course for sure. The machine used for this treatment also uses the latest technology in ultrasound which helps get rid of stubborn fat deposits on parts of the body such as thighs, arms (bingo wings), abdomen and general body sculpting. An introductory price of £99.00 per treatment is currently available (usual price £135.00). For more details contact The Hut on 01273 328787. 16 Duke Street, Brighton, BN1 1AH
Horoscopes from Kimi 27th Sept - 3rd Oct
Aries 21 March – 20 April Changes are happening in the domestic sphere and although they may be for the better they are a little too rapid for your liking. Don’t let all this turmoil cloud your judgment or curb your inner voice. Make sure that not only do you express your opinion but you are listened to. This week there is some favourable financial news. Taurus 21 April – 21 May There is a bit of a romantic tornado headed your way. You will find yourself buffeted this way and that emotionally before things finally settle down and you can determine what it is you want. Others may not be happy with your decision. But if you feel comfortable trust your instinct. You make some powerful allies at work this week. Gemini 22 May – 21 June You feel unsettled as in all aspects
of your life there appears to be a lot of toing and froing at the moment. This is a tumultuous time at work and there is no respite when you get home, just more drama. Hang in there. That person you just met will be instrumental in changing things for the better! Cancer 22 June – 22 July Things look better for you this week as you have more energy and if you play your cards right you will be getting more support, particularly at work. Just make sure that you accept graciously any help proffered and don’t be too critical of how others complete tasks! A good week to let your hair down and have some fun. Leo 23 July – 22 Aug Whoa. Slow down! You are not the only employee, partner, child, sibling etc. etc. It’s great that you still feel the energy and others recognize this and you will be rewarded but you can overdo things! Taking part in a team
sport this week should see you make some useful contacts as well as raising your fitness level. Virgo 23 Aug – 23 Sept This week sees you building on the successes you made at work last week. You are seen as a bit of a rising star and there should be some good news in relation to a promotion, increased salary or the move you desire. Domestically things remain relatively calm. Health, yours or someone else’s, though not serious may be of concern. Libra 24 Sept – 23 Oct If you are single you may meet someone new this week that could be a future love interest. If you are with someone then take a deep breath because you partner may be about to tell you they want to move things on a bit. Get ready the L word or even the M word may be used! Scorpio 24 Oct – 22 Nov
Yin and yang are in harmony. At work you see there is no longer a greasy pole but a great corporate ladder and you are given the opportunity to start the climb. Socially, there is lots of fun to be had. There are many invites as others see you as a charming and popular addition to any party. Sagittarius 23 Nov – 21 Dec This week is about new experiences and opportunities. Don’t pass any up because they may bring unexpected and exciting experiences and relationships. You may feel a little out of your comfort zone at the opera or at the ring side. Embrace the change and you’ll be rewarded. Someone you meet at one of these events may just blow you away! Capricorn 22 Dec – 20 Jan You may be called upon to be a sympathetic ear or a mediator this week. That’s okay so long as you make sure that is all you are. Try not
to get involved and you will keep your relationships; start giving advice and you may find that you are the one in trouble! Keep an eye on your spending. Aquarius 21 Jan – 19 Feb Not quite Chinese whispers but there are communication problems this week. This could be with a colleague or friend but it is much more likely to be with a loved one. All that is really needed is a little empathy and for you to listen. Good week to clothes shop and to give yourself a bit of an image change. Pisces 20 Feb – 20 March Well the financial situation is looking a little better this week than last, if you took heed of my advice. A new acquaintance you make may be pushing you into a friendship a little too quickly. I am not saying they are untrustworthy but they may turn out to be a bit of a gossip, so proceed with care.

Don’t get stung by an insurance write-off
HPI urges used car buyers to protect themselves against the threat of purchasing a potential death trap masquerading as a bargain. One in 33 vehicles checked by HPI, in 2012, was an insurance total loss – otherwise known as a write-off. This equates to 625 cars a
day or over 223,000 cars per year being dangerously repaired and sold on to unsuspecting consumers. Don’t take the risk, warns HPI, get a vehicle history check, such as the HPI Check to confirm if a vehicle has a hidden past. All vehicles that are written
Ford Mustang is voted Europe’s most-wanted classic car The Ford Mustang is Europe’s most desirable classic car, according to a survey of more than 75,000 users of online car portal AutoScout24. A total of 37 per cent of Europeans named the Ford Mustang as the classic car they would most like to own. Confirmed as coming to Europe and the UK for the first time, the Mustang was the clear winner, ahead of the BMW M1 (20 per cent) and the Volkswagen Beetle (11 per cent). “Ford Mustang is more than a car, it’s the freedom of the open road and the spirit of performance driving,” said Roelant de Waard, vice president, Marketing, Sales and Service, Ford of Europe. “Mustang has been a fundamental part of global automotive culture for almost half a century and is one of the world’s most recognisable vehicles.” Ford also said the Mustang Customizer - a downloadable and online app – has already attracted more than 500,000 visits from Europe. Available for iOS and Android phones and tablets, the app enables Mustang fans to build their dream cars and pit them against other fans, earn points and badges for each car they build, save pictures for use as desktop wallpaper, and compete in a drift challenge. Mustang celebrates its 50th
anniversary in 2014 and Ford has launched a new “Mustang Countdown” series of videos to throw the spotlight on the iconic sports car and its fans from across the globe. The first video – Where It All Started: The Mustang 1 Concept – revisits the concept car’s 1962 debut. Further videos will illustrate Ford’s exhaustive Mustang archives, the Ford Mustang club scene and fans, with rare footage, exclusive interviews and expert insight. A collection of Mustang news, information and archive materials also can be found at Ford of Europe’s dedicated Mustang web portal. Launched in 1964, Mustang became an instant sensation and inspired millions of people. With nearly 3,000 movie and TV appearances around the world, countless song references, parade appearances, toys and more, a passion for Mustang is common to car fans around the world.
off are put in to one of four categories, depending on the level of its condition. The categories include cars that can be repaired and returned to the road, or ones that are recommended to be totally scrapped and never allowed back on the road again. It is not illegal to repair or return ‘written off for salvage’ vehicles back to the road as long as the seller declares the facts and provides evidence that the car has passed a Vehicle Identity Check (VIC). However, says HPI, a lack of good quality second hand cars for sale, means unscrupulous sellers are using a variety of ways of conning used car buyers out of their money. Daniel Burgess, Managing Director for HPI explains, “Criminals continue to capitalise on a shortage of used cars for sale by disguising write-offs as a good buy. “It’s all too easy to be taken in by shiny paintwork and a low price, but it could be hiding a multitude of faults that haven’t been fixed. Unscrupulous vendors will sell a write-off to make a quick profit
but if the vehicle is not properly repaired any price is too high.” An HPI Check will give a used car buyer the complete picture of a vehicle’s history, including revealing if the car has been an insurance write-off and if so, which category. This offers protection from paying good money for a vehicle that is not fit for purpose and a possible safety risk. Daniel Burgess concludes, “A check against HPI’s registers will tell you if the car has ever been written-off. However, we recommend that anyone looking to buy a car that has been declared an insurance write-off should seek to have it independently checked by Autolign or Thatcham to ensure that it is in fact road worthy before they part with their cash.” The ABI Categories of ‘Write off’ Category A Scrap only – i.e. with few or no economically salvageable parts and of value only for scrap metal e.g. total burnouts. These vehicles should not appear on the road. Category B Break for spare parts if
economically viable. These vehicles should not reappear on the road. Category C Repairable total loss vehicles where repair costs exceed the vehicle’s pre-accident value. Category D Repairable total loss vehicles where repair costs do not exceed the vehicle’s pre-accident value. The HPI Check includes a mileage check against the National Mileage Register (NMR) as standard, now with over 160 million mileage readings. HPI also confirms whether a vehicle is currently recorded as stolen with the police, has outstanding finance against it or has been writtenoff, making it the best way for consumers to protect themselves from fraudsters looking to make a fast profit. In addition, the HPI Check offers a £40,000 Guarantee in the event of the information it provides being inaccurate, offering added financial peace of mind to used car buyers.

‘Boy racers’ not so quick off the mark in the insurance stakes Price comparison site Confused. com has launched an awareness campaign targeting the UK’s ‘boy and girl racers’, following new research. The study by Confused.com shows almost a third (32%) of UK ‘boy and girl racers’ are being forced to leave their new cars undriven because of difficulties with getting insurance. The new research revealed that a significant number of drivers (40%) have received an insurance quote they thought was disproportionately expensive. In fact 14% have received such an extortionate quote that they couldn’t afford to pay, meaning their prized motors were left to rust. The findings also revealed that nearly a quarter (22%) of boy and girl racers who received the unfavourable insurance quote did so after they’d already bought their car. In fact, over a third (36%) admitted they would buy a car that they knew they could not afford insurance for, and worry about it later. To highlight the findings and help encourage the public, particularly boy and girl racers, to ‘think insurance’ before they
buy, they have team up with recording artist Romeo to rework the garage classic ’21 Seconds’. To view the remix see: youtube.com/ watch?v=fO3AiWUCtDI The new track promotes Confused.com’s new Quick Quote service - a unique way to get an insurance quote within as little as 21 seconds, using only an email address and car registration number. Romeo will embark on a UK– wide media campaign to target boy and girl racers around the country, who have a penchant for soupedup hatchbacks, tinted windows and bulky body kits. The research highlighted Aberystwyth, Wrexham, Bristol, Norwich and Birmingham as the areas where the highest number of motorists admitted to having to hold on to their car after getting an insurance quote they weren’t happy with. Confused.com’s Marketing Director Joby Russell said: “This is an issue that is rife among boy and girl racers, young and old. However, what the findings also show is that there is a wider trend amongst motorists in general, who are impulse-buying cars without checking out insurance first. This is
leaving them exposed to potential premiums that they can’t afford, or even not being offered insurance at all. “Our research shows for instance that only 19% of motorists deemed insurance as a top priority consideration in the car buying process. The ’21 seconds’ campaign aims to redress the balance and get the nation adequately covered rather than having to leave their cars gathering dust at the kerbside.” MC Romeo commented: “There is a growing trend among the nation’s boy and girl racers who have bought their dream set of wheels, but can’t actually go anywhere. They have either been turned down for car insurance, or offered a quote that is too expensive. I hope the campaign raises awareness of the issue, and helps these car lovers get back behind the wheel.” Romeo was joined at the recording session by Confused. com’s mascot, BRIAN the Robot. With the remix in the bag, Romeo finished the session by challenging BRIAN to an off-the-cuff rap battle – check out the link here to see who won the war of words! youtube. com/watch?v=XnXs9vs-qbM

BBC Sussex Sport OFTEN teams face a big week that determines the fate of their season. And often it comes in January.

Seagulls squad praised for stepping up Richard Morris Oscar Garcia has praised the Albion’s squad players for plugging the gaps left by injuries and suspensions to key players. The recently-arrived head coach has been forced to start his debut season in English football without some of the club’s most influential players, but a string of impressive performances by the Albion’s lesser lights has kept the disruption to a minimum. Two-time player of the year, Liam Bridcutt, has been absent since the opening day defeat at Leeds United after the Scotland international underwent surgery on a hernia which first become a problem mid-way through last season. However, Rohan Ince has helped fill Bridcutt’s sizeable shoes with a host of stand-out appearances culminating in a man of the match stint last time out. And he isn’t alone. Jake ForsterCaskey has also enjoyed a run of first team action and the pair seems to be benefiting not just from exposure to Championship football but from the guiding influence of Andrew Crofts and Irish international Keith Andrews. Speaking to the club website after the Bolton game, Oscar was full of compliments for the pair.

Big match preview
Albion hoping to build on recent good form Keith Andrews should be recalled to the starting line-up
Brighton head to Suffolk tomorrow (Saturday), still without the talismanic Leo Ulloa but full of confidence after an impressive run of results. The Argentinian hitman is serving the final game of a three match ban but despite boasting just one recognised striker since Ulloa’s red card, Oscar Garcia’s side have secured an impressive four points from games with Queens Park Rangers and Bolton Wanderers. Ashley Barnes will continue to deputise for Ulloa and, despite having not found the net since moving into the central striking position, the versatile forward has impressed since his re-introduction after injury during the draw at Reading. Keith Andrews, who was forced to sit out the 3:1 win over parent club Bolton, should be recalled to the starting line-up – particularly if
the game comes too soon for Liam Bridcutt to be considered. The Bolton loanee has quickly established himself as an important cog in Oscar’s Albion machine and has clocked up a pass completion rate of 90 per cent – finding his man with 199 of his 219 attempted passes. Sharing the deep-sitting role with Rohan Ince, Andrews has made sure the Seagulls have not noticeably missed their herniastricken midfield fulcrum and the experienced playmaker has been instrumental in implementing Oscar’s passing style which has seen the Albion attempt to move the ball into advanced areas quicker and at a higher tempo compared to Gus Poyet’s more methodical, patient build-up. Andrew Crofts has added regular forward forays to his game and dovetails well with Andrews more restrained role. David Lopez, who improved on his disappointing earlyseason form against Bolton, could drop to the bench to accommodate a midfield trio of Ince, Crofts and Andrews. It would not be a surprise however to see Lopez continue his run of starts in favour of Ince who Oscar seems keen to protect from over-exposure early in his fledgling Seagulls career.
Albion Team News Likely line-up: Kuszczak, Ward, Calderon, Greer, Upson, Ince, Crofts, Andrews, Barnes, Lopez, Buckley.
Likely subs: Ankergren, El Abd, Chicksen, Lua Lua, March, Agustien, Bricutt/Dunk Treatment Room: Will Hoskins (knee), Craig Mackail-Smith (achilles), Andrea Orlandi (knee), Liam Bridcutt (hernia), Casper Ankergren (elbow)

Ipswich have enjoyed a mixed start to their campaign, clocking up a football fence-sitting three wins and four defeats, with a single draw away to Birmingham City. Like Brighton, Ipswich suffered defeat a 2:1 defeat at the hands of Leeds United and a narrow 1:0 loss away at Queens Park Rangers and a home win over Millwall would suggest a narrow game is the likely outcome. Key to Ipswich’s chances is the encouraging form of New Zealand centre back Tommy Smith and chief goal threat David McGoldrick – although the latter has managed just three goals from his 27 shots this term. The Tractor Boys favour a traditional passing game but statistics would suggest the Seagulls will have the slight edge in terms of possession. Ipswich average 50% possession at home while the Albion have enjoyed marginally more in their away matches this term while clocking up significantly more passes in doing so. Oscar’s only real selection dilemma ahead of tomorrow will be whether or not to stick with two wingers either side of Barnes after Kazenga Lua Lua and Will Buckley both impressed last time out. If he decides one needs to make way, Lopez could return to the more supportive wide position.

Oscar Garcia Post Bolton Wanderers. “I am happy with all of the players’ performances, and some of them have had to play 95 minutes in three games this week and it is hard. “It was a very important win for us after the two tough away games and the players deserved this win here in front of our fans. “Another positive about today is our mental strength because when you have many injuries you have to be strong.

“Fortunately in the second half we shot three times in five minutes and we scored three goals.
“We are playing better than I thought we would be at this stage and the performance of the players - especially considering the injuries - has been very good. “We are now six games unbeaten and I’m satisfied with this, but we are not satisfied with our overall position.”
