The Norfolk Square debacle about the drunks prompts me to write that Brighton and Hove City Council should put into action the old poor laws affecting vagrants, drunks and beggars.

If they or their parents were not born in Brighton or Hove, then train tickets should be given to them to return to their place of birth, with the warning that they would be arrested if they set foot in the city again.
