And he had warm praise for Brighton, saying: “Brighton is an island of freedom in an ocean of intolerance. Brighton has got something special. People run away to Brighton. It is the end of the rainbow. It’s the place that people come to because they want to be free.”
Thank you to the wonderful Elaine Evans who was the 1st to donate to our crowdfunder https://t.co/sFxMqvwhOE @sophiecooktalks @latestbill pic.twitter.com/hZ9uFnygP3
