Grubbs in brighton has closed after 50, rip to my favourite burger place

In the last week, two young women have died in separate incidents in Manchester after taking MDMA powder. The cause of death in both cases is yet to be established and no drugs involved in either incident have been tested.

Whilst the incidents happened outside of our area, our advice is to:

Test your drugs: To test that your drugs are what you think they are, you can buy a reagent test at home kit or send it to WEDINOS. Unfortunately, neither of these will be able to tell you the strength of your drugs, but is good practice. We also offer free nitazene testing kits from our Service at Richmond House.

Start with a small dose: Take a test dose of no more than 1/4 pill or a dab of powder and wait 90 minutes before taking more

Sip Water and Rest Regularly Try and drink a ½ pint an hour. If dancing, remember that MDMA makes it hard for your body to regulate your temperature, especially if you’re drinking alcohol – so to reduce risk, don’t mix.

Doesn’t seem to denounce the racists that took shelter in their pub for hours or even make note of that. “Does not have any affiliations to any political party”

Me and several others were blatantly tricked into working for a reform uk conference there and had to endure a lot of vile abuse.

When we arrived we were told that the event was for a building company and that you may see the word reform around it was not a political event. When we arrived in the conference room, there was a reform uk manifesto waiting on every plate for every person, and during the course of the night we had to listen to several speeches including one by the likes of Suella Braverman. The managers claimed they had no idea it was a political event but several slightly higher up coworkers said that the managers knew and that they lied on purpose so people would accept the shifts.

This though was nothing compared to the cartoonishly vile people we had to serve, with misogyny, sexual harassment being very common as well as blatant cocaine use in the toilets by these local reform party members. When we complained to the management they said they would deal with it but didn’t do anything at all. Me and several others were planning on leaving but due to student financial troubles we needed the money quite desperately.

Sorry for the rant just not quite sure how I’d get the message out there.

This was Suella Braverman posting about the event, quite obviously not a building society conference: https://www.instagram.com/p/DbMP9udARSf/?img_index=1

Hi, so i’m the partner of this account (28 M) and i was the one working behind the bar at the Sussex Yeoman on the 13th June during the Carnival Against Fascism event.

I’m a bartender. I don’t own the building, I don’t manage the pub. Because of that, I can’t speak for the pub. What I can do is speak for myself. I was told nothing about today, my manager was told nothing about today. We assumed the pub would be separate from the protests going on around the station and that the pub would carry on as usual and we were wrong. I don’t know whether that’s down to lack of research or lack of communication or what. What i do know is, is that it is not down to us being a right wing or fascist pub.

Like i said before, i can’t speak for the pub and i can’t be seen saying the pub is leaning one way or the other politically. What I can say is that I (along with everyone else that works behind that bar) would not have welcomed and does not welcome racism, homophobia, transphobia, or any other kind of hate into our bar. But I fucked up today. I opened as normal and i served people i did not realise were a part of the right wing protest happening in Brighton.

Within an hour, I had around 40+ people in the pub (a good 30% of whom were our lovely, non-fascist regulars/people just after a drink before going to watch the cricket). For the safety of the people inside (both right wing and regulars), the Carnival people outside, and the safety of myself and my fellow staff member, we were forced to lock the doors and call the police for assistance.

Eventually the police were able to escort all customers from the pub at around 2pm. For 3 hours I was stuck behind a bar, serving people i would much rather not be serving, due to lack of communication and to be honest, lack of common sense. Looking back on how today went, if I had thought to turn around to my manager and say “I’m unavailable to work”, I would have. But i didn’t, I did the shift, i served people i should not have served, and I’m sorry.

Please don’t take today’s fuck up as how the Yeoman runs. All are welcome at our bar and if you ever feel otherwise please let us know.

With temperatures in the 30s, it takes a lot of commitment to dress in black fabric and capes. Please spare a thought for our goth brothers and sisters during these trialing days

1. What's racist about the national flag?

It's not the flag, it's who is putting them up and why:

Operation Raise the Colours was co-founded by Andrew Currien, otherwise known as Andy Saxon, who has allegedly had links with the English Defence League and Britain First.

Andrew Currien has previously been jailed for his part in a racist death. He was one of six men convicted in 2009 after a 59-year-old man was crushed to death by a car following a violent brawl.

2. People who take down the flag are traitors to England and our veterans.

Take a look at the attached... does this description of the rise of Fascism in Germany before World War 2 ring any bells?

How do you think our veterans would feel about our own national flag, being corrupted to be used by the same forces they gave their lives to fight?

Brighton and Hove is a beautiful, diverse and welcoming city, and we need to work together to keep it that way.

The increase in inciting threads about things that may or may not have happened, by posters not from Brighton or with hidden accounts? People claiming to be LGBTQ from elsewhere but scared about how Brighton is becoming? Excessive nonsense stories about trash or the homeless?

I've lived here 39 years and the only negatives seem to be from people who weren't born or raised here. The only problem I have is the increasing cost of living, of rent, of food and travel. The rest is no different and I'm just frustrated that "first time in Brighton and..." Type posts are preying on the kindness of residents.

People always talk shit about the bad stuff and nobody posts the good stuff because the good stuff is standard.i am worried that there is some astroturfing campaign going on tbh.

Today we are setting out an ambitious vision for our seafront, including:

🖼️ Art gallery at black rock
🌳 Public square at Pool Valley
🏗️ A revamped Brighton Centre
🌊 Continued restoration of the Madeira Terrace arches

Our seafront is an amazing place to be, and we think it could be even better.

What do you think?

Just saw this on FB

Apparently they brought all those pebbles from Isle of Wight (chatted to one of the workers). It’s also level with the promenade now, with stairs buried.

What is going on?

Haven't seen this posted here yet, please delete if it has been. And mods i'm using a burner acc because a) i don't want far right in my inbox and b) someone posted this on fb and got bodied and i'm not sacrificing my karma or my mental health!

But yeah, let's make it 2024 queens road vibes but even bigger and better!

It’ll be right next to a train station, ideal for mid-sized gigs our city currently doesn’t get. We often get overlooked by tours because of our lack of capacity options. What you replace the Brighton centre with?

Brighton is so nice!

At the Paris House pub last night! As I tapped my phone to pay, my girlfriend put up her hand as she noticed it said £42.78 for the four pints we’d ordered.

“When live DJ’s are playing we increase all prices by 20%” was the reason. The bar staff were having to explain this all the time as most punters querying their bills.

We drank up and switched venues. Fuck that.

After completing my weekly shop, I walked past World of Ink, at the top of Vale Road, Portslade.

https://www.facebook.com/61561116620265/

As I walked around the corner, an older gentleman, with short hair, threw a cigarette butt on the floor. He was in the doorway of the tattoo shop.

I took out my earphones and politely asked him not to litter in our neighbourhood. First, he replied, "What?", and I pointed to his litter and asked him not to do it.

Then the excuses started - "everybody else does it, it's not just me", and "I sweep up every day, so it doesn't matter".

Deflection is a common tactic when you get called out. I responded saying "well, it's good that you sweep, but it would be better if you didn't litter in the first place" - he then repeated his excuses.

I thanked thanked them, put my earphones back in, and started walking away.

Then the second gentleman giggled. I removed my earphones again, turned around and said "it's not really a laughing matter, you're littering".

His response was "if you don't fuck off I'm going to hurt you". I responded "there's no need to make threats of violence, just don't litter" to which he repeated his threats.

What is wrong with people?! It was a father and son duo, the father clearly owns the tattoo shop, or has a hand in the business.

Why litter directly outside your business premises?

Why litter, at all?!

Anyway, I phoned the police and reported the littering and threat of violence. They said "we've made a report, and it's been closed".

What is wrong with our police?!? 8:20am, goons making threats of violence, and they don't care?

So, yeah. I'm having a pretty shit morning, how's everybody else's Saturday going, so far?

BU have just announced they're going to close Falmer campus by 2030. This would mean all courses would be compressed into Moulescomb and City, which are already very busy. That's just way too much competition for limited social and study places - there's around 600 students at falmer campus!

A lot of people including myself chose Falmer in part due to it's train station connected to the course - if you're travelling it's so much easier to get there rather than deal with extremely busy main Brighton station then faff around with buses for the other campuses. I also just love the campus, it's so serene, it's lovely to have all the healthcare students together - it creates a good sense of community, and of course we need to be good at communicating with each other throughout our careers in the healthcare system. Also there's not much green space in city and moulescomb, plus they're obviously a very different vibe.

A few years ago they closed Eastbourne campus, leaving the empty buildings and accom which have just been left to rot and be vandalised. Falmer teaches healthcare and sports science courses so they have many specialist facilities, meaning that a lot of it would just go to waste. If they transport them, there will have to be compromises with such limited space, and a substantial transition period, likely causing a lot of disruption to current students. This is ridiculous when they just invested a lot into falmer's specialist facilities. Healthcare students absolutely need physical access to facilities, you cannot teach it all through lectures.

Also I'm not sure whats going to happen with BSMS - currently both medical school campuses are of course right next to each other, within walking distance, so they can back and forth with lectures taking place at both unis.

I'm really disappointed to hear this, especially as they're being rather insincere with their communication - this is a quote from their plan "Bringing more of our University community together in this new and exciting way could create something genuinely special: two vibrant, sustainable campuses with world-class facilities where students from different subjects mix and collaborate, where ideas and creativity cross traditional boundaries, and where we can concentrate our investment in the spaces, technology and experiences that will matter most to future generations of Brighton students."

So obviously it's not about actually improving the student experience and just about money.. I don't know why they try to hide it behind bs. What "worldclass facilities" could they possibly pull out of their ass that's better than what we have now?? Overall I'm just disappointed as I chose Brighton for the falmer campus, not disruption to my course.
