Blair
on the Albion, elections and war
"I
REALLY don't think any prime minister, of whatever party, takes
a decision of such importance with a view to the election. You
have to do what you think is right for your country and be ready
to be judged on that decision. When we took the decision to remove
Saddam Hussein, I believed it was the right thing to do in the
interests of Iraq, the region and the wider world, including this
country. And I still do."

Brighton
Bomber: 'I would do it again'
TERRORIST
Patrick Magee has said he would bomb Brighton again. The convicted
IRA killer admitted if he could turn the clock back two decades,
he would still activate the timer which triggered the deadly bomb.
This Tuesday will be the 20th anniversary of the day Magee checked
into the Grand hotel in Brighton under the name Roy Walsh and
planted the deadly device under a bath in room 629.

Tetra
fight Chelsea boss 'uses system'
BILLIONAIRE
Roman Abramovich signalled his opposition to a new radio mast
near his home after thousands of handsets used for a similar system
were bought by his Russian oil firm. An
aide to the richest man in Britain lobbied for a Tetra mast near
his estate
to be ripped out. But
The Argus can reveal two years earlier Sibneft, in which Mr Abramovich
is a major shareholder, bought 6,000 Tetra handsets for his Siberian
workers.

Blair's
purple powder bomber
TWO militant
fathers who flourbombed Tony Blair in the Commons are being treated
"like terrorists", supporters claimed today. Ron
Davis and Guy Harrison, both from Sussex, have now been held in
custody for 24 hours with no contact with legal representatives.
Matt O'Connor,
coordinator of Fathers 4 Justice, said today there was no justification
for their detention.

'You
can feel a violent person when they speak...'
Mustafa Kamal
came to Brighton to study. But it was behind the doors of a small
mosque that he fomented his plans and began the transformation into
the hate figure Abu Hamza. The Muslim community warned of the extremist
in their midst but no-one took action. |

Inspector
rules 'no need for city team'
THE planning
inspector who almost wrecked the Albion's dream for a new stadium
believes the team's collapse would be no loss to football. In the
conclusion to his 262-page dossier, in which he ripped apart almost
every claim made in support of the community stadium at Falmer,
John Collyer wrote: "If Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club were
lost to the league there is no convincing evidence football nationally
would suffer any serious harm." |

A
handbag?
It may look
like any ordinary handbag but hidden beneath its seams lies James
Bond-style technology. The work of inventor Louise Wilson, her design
is promising to take the fashion world by storm thanks to the addition
of a security gadget. It can only be opened once the owner has scanned
in their fingerprint. |

Schooled
in Buddhist teachings
SUCCESSFUL
primary schools are to be given greater freedom according to the
Government's five year strategy for children and learners. The Conservatives
are also championing freedom for schools, as the political lexicon
is transformed. The Dharma primary in Brighton is celebrating its
tenth anniversary as Europe's only Buddhist school.

TRAVEL:
Georgia on my mind...
THE
State of Georgia was founded for debaters and protesters - or so
a young pupil wrote in her history exam paper, perhaps distracted
by the golden sunshine and beautiful views from her school window.
The
pupil may have had her eye on the future rather than the past. Georgia
is set to become the backdrop of the G8 Summit, with Tony Blair,
George W Bush and other world leaders gathering for an informal
and relaxed "chow-wow". |
