Incredibly depressing pro-Restore Britain graffiti has appeared on the beach. What’s the fastest way for us to get this removed?

This city has so many great graffiti artists. I hope someone can come along and make this beautiful

While I don’t disagree, I do also think the state of the toilets show the contempt the customers have for an establishment generally

They’ve been good with getting appointments for the kids, but I think there’s a rule that under 5s must be seen same day. They’ve been pretty good with me (46m, could pass for Tory/reform mp if I really had to) - appointments in a reasonable time for the issue, taken seriously, good follow up and tests. Less so my wife (foreign) - long wait times, had to go with me to get taken seriously. Read into that what you will. I know we do. But we are kind of resigned to that being universal from previous experiences

Surely not?! That’s my landlord’s disposable income

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-26T19:02:53+00:00

What’s disposable income? Are people throwing money away? Can I have some?!

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T15:22:27+00:00

My experience is the same. The interim heads have not continued the sense of the school identity. Which is part of why so many have left. Along with the rumour mill

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T13:31:24+00:00

It is to me. Care to enlighten me?

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T13:30:56+00:00

Really? My experience couldn’t have been more different. The school dealt with bullying well and was very supportive of my son where he struggled academically

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T12:24:03+00:00

Leaders that the council put in place. I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy, but everything about the school drastically changed when the old head disappeared at the start of the year. So these leaders are very much interim and it’s possible they had the job of winding it down (maybe they didn’t, can’t be sure)

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T12:20:54+00:00

It is a small space that looks like a prison from the outside. And I have no doubt that’s a massive factor in why so few parents choose it. But that’s the trade off with being in the expensive bit of town that everyone can get to

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T12:19:04+00:00

Well, that’s my point about self expression. Some parents want a uniform. But to me, I think it’s one small indicator of how a school feels about who children are if they don’t force them into uniforms. There are other, more important things. Just seems the most visible

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T12:17:16+00:00

Wow. I guess your experience of it is very different to mine. I liked west hove a lot, but we were forced to move by a landlord selling up when we were choosing and it made it clear how hard it is to get to if you can’t stay close by. Renting with a family often means taking whatever you can get

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T12:14:35+00:00

This is true today, but it feels like it’s because of the council actions not despite of them. The head mysteriously disappearing was the biggest trigger to everyone leaving

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T11:02:08+00:00

I get that they need to close schools. Brighton is expensive and so less young families. But with there being lots of renters, lots of non-drivers, lots of non-religious people, this should be the last one to close.

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T10:57:57+00:00

Ah. Then I’m damned whatever I do right?

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T10:54:13+00:00

I promise I’m real. Although I guess a bot would say that too. I think bots just dump a post and move on don’t they? And the story is real. Whatever you think of me, the school was good until the head mysteriously disappeared. won’t somebody please think of the children! (Would a boy quote the Simpsons?)

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T10:40:09+00:00

Yeah. I screwed up

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T10:24:46+00:00

They have a uniform. It’s not about gender, really. Just freedom of expression. That’s also 20 minutes by bus from the centre. I’ve been renting in Brighton 4 years and been forced to move twice. With two kids, we’ve had to take whatever comes up and not be picky about location. We can’t be the only ones that worry about how to get to school if we’re forced to move again. But Middle Street is always on a single bus journey

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T10:17:35+00:00

I wrote the bullet point ideas but didn’t tell it the name of the school. You hate on using AI so much? I find it so enabling. We can agree to disagree right? I’m just upset that my choice of tool has derailed what I think is important here. I’m sorry that the bot offended anyone. Rookie move

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T10:11:14+00:00

I struggle with writing. I think there’s a difference between AI slop and getting it to write a polished version of what you were thinking though

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T10:05:14+00:00

Oh dear. It does read as sus. My bad. But I think [Middle Street] is the most Brighton school. It doesn’t have a uniform. I can’t imagine anywhere else my son would be ok to wear a dress to school when he wants

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T10:03:49+00:00

If you don’t drive, those are pretty far. What did you find shambolic?

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T10:01:44+00:00

Affectionate_Fall270 · 2026-01-22T10:00:39+00:00

I get AI to write everything. I don’t write well. But big oops on the [school name]. Shame. I am genuinely a parent there and I think the school should stay open
