What do certain deluded persons in this traffic-down-and-out-yob-filth-and-drug-ridden so-called city class as culture?
Beach binges, wannabes, pretension and clubs do not make for the culture tag.
Brighton and Hove culture is not Fatboy Slim or even the Brighton Festival, which in the main is an elitist pseudo-intellectual arty-farty affair.
Nor is it the ghastly Pride, which gives us all even more traffic chaos.
The powers that be should clean up this place, get rid of the low-life elements, have a general refurbishment and then assess the possibility of standing a chance in such a contest as Capital of Culture.
Talk about full of self-importance - the whole idea of Brighton and Hove even being thought of as a contender is a joke. Liverpool gets my vote.
Does our council tax pay for all this striving for fame? If so, it should be renamed pipe-dream tax. Wake up.
