I SUPPORT JASON KITCAT & HIS 4.75% COUNCIL TAX INCREASE. I have to warn you from the out-set, I’m not in the politest of moods today. 24 hours after hearing the earth-shattering testimony from Bill Maloney that, “We have an international paedophile ring operating in every democratic government on our planet,” I’m not in the best mood to be civil towards any politician of any persuasion.

Regrettably, neither Conservative Brighton MP’s Mike Weatherley & Simon Kirby were present, though Simon Kirby’s fall-guy, Hove Wealden’s councillor Graham Cox, stepped into Simon Kirby’s shoes to be the “Pantomime Villain’ of the night.
