In these troubled economic and political times it's reassuring to see evidence of some old fashioned hospitality being displayed by the people of Brighton as the Labour conference hits town. The PM may be widely derided for his lack of charisma and his apparent inability to do anything right but it's good to know there's always a nice cup of tea available for him above the chip shop on Brighton seafront if he so desires.
Elsewhere, roads have been closed and a first-floor tunnel built between the Grand Hotel and the Brighton Centre, there are gun-toting policemen everywhere, traffic is permanently gridlocked, and smart-suited young people looking simultaneously earnest and smug are prowling the streets weighed down by mountains of paper, smartphones and identity tags as they strive towards a better Britain, bless them.
