ChrisintheNorth is correct. I don’t go around pushing Lib Dems into the sea as a rule.
I think there is now little or no chance of the West Pier being restored. It’s too ruinous now.
Its so good to see Unanimity amongst e parties. We can’t agree on the best way forward for funding an ageing population but we can offer the advise – to old and young alike – not to venture onto Brighton’s West Pier
Democracy is safe in our hands
Rules are made to be broken Barnaby
The West Pier or remnants therof are in Pavilion constituency in fact they are not far from being in Hove . The Palace Pier is in fact on the dividing line between Kemptown and Pavilion if you extended such line into the sea . There have been numerous plans and support groups for the rebuilding of the West Pier over the last 30 odd years none of which ever had a realistic chance of happening .
The constituency boundary is fractionally to the West and in fact the Palace Pier (controversially renamed Brighton Pier) is entirely in Kemptown, as I think it has been since the seat was created in 1950.
Pete,
The wording of Barnaby’s post made me wonder, too, whether there were any posters on this site that he had in mind as exceptions.
Just in case the Police are reading this, let me make it clear; I would not push ANY Lib Dems into the sea.
