David Lepper deserves all the support he can get in trying to stop "windbags" making a mockery out of the House of Commons. His campaign to change the procedure whereby a Private Member's Bill can be stopped in its tracks by one member uttering the word
With Britain on the brink of defeat, a flotilla of Brighton fishing boats set sail from Sussex for Dunkirk. The Royal Navy was desperately trying to rescue the remnants of the British Expeditionary Force which had been shattered by the German Blitzkrieg
When Mike Hodgson was 15 he started saving pennies on his window sill until the pile was big enough to buy his first car. It was a £5 vintage Austin Seven. He now has a collection of nine classic Austins worth thousands of pounds, but his pride and joy
In Brighton we have graffiti, beggars, drunks, drug addicts and now nude men are going to march through our streets. And all the police can say is they hope the protesters "don't hang around", which I suppose was meant to be funny. Has the council given
I am disgusted to hear that Brighton and Hove Council, which spends so much time, money and effort on promoting its worth, could be losing £13 million every year on benefit frauds. I reckon this is about £65 for every person per year, ie, a week's pension
The average cost of a detached house in Brighton, Hove and West Sussex has topped the £200,000 mark for the first time. Demand for for good-quality homes in the Brighton area has increased the average price of a detached house by almost £65,000 in a year
I cannot see the logic behind the recent statement by David Lepper MP that "too much emphasis" had been placed on the proposed supermarket on the Brighton Station site, because it was "only part" of the planning brief. If it had been a small nuclear reprocessing
Please tell me what is the point of closing the Palmeira Project down? All the children who live there permanently or just temporarily need Palmeira. I can give you a number of reasons against the closure: 1. It would be unsettling to the residents. 2
It was the turn of Michael Bevan and Chris Adams to rediscover their form as Sussex turned the screw against Glamorgan at Hove yesterday. Bevan made 107, the first Championship century by a Sussex batsman at headquarters for nearly a year, and Adams fell
I've seen it all - a report in this newspaper saying a group of "plonkers" are going to parade their wares through the streets of Brighton on Sunday, June 4. A police spokesman said: "We hope they don't hang about". Yes, and I hope the police lose no

I have lived in Brighton and Hove since the end of the Second World War and I am over 60 years of age now. I became a Scientologist more than 20 years ago and have only good to say about its tenets and its staff. As for LR Hubbard, its founder, only praise

Three cheers for Roger Boniface (Letters, May 27). It's nice to know someone else remembers what the Tory government did to this country. And as Ray Wootton seems to think we should all forgive and forget, please allow me to enlarge on the five points
Congratulations on the Argus scooping three awards at the BT Southern Press Awards. The Argus is a good read for 30p. I used to get it every evening at London Bridge or Victoria station on the way home from (paid!) work. Now I buy it first thing every

I did indeed acknowledge the position with post codes. However, I still maintain that the word "Brighton" does not form part of my address. Southwick is a place in its own right, does not form part of the area controlled by the Brighton and Hove unitary

As a Fulham fan I am very disappointed that Paul Brooker chose to leave us and join Brighton. However it was no surprise given the disgraceful lack of first team opportunities he has had at the Cottage. The situation for young English players will deteriorate
