Paris Hilton must be enjoying her shopping after last week's Labour conference, spending part of £10 million that we are told comes into Brighton and Hove.
It cost £2.6 million in security but we are told that £10 million came in. That must be going to The Grand de Vere group and the Hilton group plus a few restaurants because traders have told me that last week was one of the worst for business.
With nowhere to park and the seafront off limits, who wants to come to a city where you cannot walk for fear of rotting carcasses been dumped on you?
Why do we put up with a conference that costs so must to police? It's because we are told that £10 million is injected into the Brighton economy. But this money goes to the large hotels which are American-owned. It is then shipped off to America so people like Paris Hilton can buy more Gucci.
