WE COULD be forgiven for coming to the conclusion that the overwhelming majority of Brighton’s population must be fully paid up members of the PC Brigade.

The latest nonsense being spouted by Extinction Rebellion’s nincompoop eco-warriors there is that ‘cheese is racist’ (I kid you not), because lactose-intolerance is more prevalent among black communities, and have launched a petition demanding that dairy products be banned from Brighton schools.

Growing up in Southeast London, we would often head to Brighton for the day, even in winter, to revitalise ourselves with some bracing sea air and return home all the better for it.

It seems that there is now something in the air there that addles the brain.
