We learn Brighton and Hove is the drug-death capital of England and Wales and police admit 90 per cent of crime is drug-related.
Therefore how bewildering, on Saturday, to count eight police vehicles attending the South Downs and Eridge Hunt for five hunt protesters, and four vehicles at the Crawley and Horsham Hunt for 12 hunt protesters.
I guess acting as hired security guards is an easier, less taxing option than tackling priority crime.
