Just a month after Celia Barlow was elected MP, the Hove whingers are out in force.

You can hear them now: "How dare you be elected as MP for Hove", "how dare you express an opinion on the King Alfred site", "how dare you declare support for the Falmer Stadium".

Didn't they tell you Hove is a sleepy, cultured oasis of good order not to be confused with brash, bouncy Brighton? Hove is only part of the city on sufferance.

I was born in Portslade-by-Sea and therefore entitled to an opinion.
