It has been so reassuring to see so many policeman patrolling the streets of Brighton.

It really was a pleasure to see policeman talking to frightened pensioners and checking cars and identities.

It certainly made one feel safe but I hope I don't get mugged now the Labour Party conference is over and you can't find a policeman for love nor money.

As proud as Tony Blair may be, it is still a show and the bottom line is we live in a society where a pizza gets to your door before the police do.

So well done to Sussex Police but will we see the same once the Prime Minister has moved on?
