No amount of comparative mathematics and statistics will ever convince us Councillor Ken Bodfish is right.

No matter how you look at it, £150,000 is just that, not a comparison between how much is spent on education and social care and buying expensive, multicoloured plastic cones for the middle of Brighton's North Road.

"A discussion of how public money is spent" - when was the last time we were considered in anything "our" council did?

The parking situation we have was proposed, approved and initiated without our consent, which is why we are always protesting about it.
