May I offer a big thank you to our bus drivers who have struggled all week to maintain an efficient service during the Labour Party conference.

It is high time the venue for these events was moved to a secure location such as an army base and our police freed from this unwarranted burden so they can return to their normal duties. They have enough to contend with.

But then I suppose it would not be good enough. They would not be able to wine and dine in opulent surroundings such as the Grand on taxpayers' money.

It may well be that the tourism industry will be forced to issue a Foreign Office type warning at these times in the future - Brighton is not a place to come to but a place to stay away from.
