How nice to think the EU has given £4.5 million to Brighton and Hove - especially since it is our money, contributed to Europe at the rate of £1.2 million an hour.

How much more we could do with our £11 billion annual contribution to Europe if politicians such as Keith Vaz and his senior colleagues had really thought of us, the pawns, who are now beginning to see the light and turn.
