Trump could launch an “enormously dangerous” Twitter firestorm, Bremmer said, or “take a 180-degree turn,” take credit for any progress, as his tweet Tuesday seemed to do, and then revive talk of a possible deal with Pyongyang that only he could cut.

This article was originally published at 4 p.m. I PERSONALLY hate the Palace Pier in its current form. It is a blot on the seafront that perpetuates a culture that brings Brighton down and entrenches its reputation as a cheap, out-of-date seaside destination.

Today there are very much two Brightons: the inland one of vibrant creative industries, modern restaurants and a dynamic population – and the seafront of tacky sideshows, fish and chips, rock and assorted paraphernalia.

Unfortunately for Brighton, a large proportion of outsiders see it primarily as a destination for the latter rather than the former.

I have been working in Brighton now for five years, while still living in London, and I can say that this is pretty much universally the impression that Londoners have of the city. This is a massive public relations problem.

Luckily though, it is still a big draw, otherwise commercially it would fail (as many other British seaside resorts have).

Indeed, whenever Brighton Fringe happens, people ask me how we compete with Brighton Festival – I reply that Brighton Festival is quite irrelevant really as the biggest competitor to Brighton Fringe is actually the seafront.

However, this is a ticking time bomb and, in good time, I believe that the Brighton seafront will go the same way as other faded Victorian seaside resorts before it and become an embarrassment.

There have been some attempts to turn the arches by the Pier into an artists’ hub but it hardly

 Trump could launch an “ enormously dangerous ” Twitter firestorm, Bremmer said, or “ take a 180 - degree twist, ” consume credit for any progress, as his tweet Tuesday seemed to perform, and then revive talk of a potential deal with Pyongyang that only he could cut. 

 “ We are at a adult chance than during any time in the Obama government for dialogue, ” Bremmer said. “ And we are at a bad chance for war. ”

 Today there are very much two Brightons: the inland one of vibrant creative industries, modern restaurants and a dynamic population – and the seafront of tacky sideshows, fish and chips, rock and assorted paraphernalia. 

 Unfortunately for Brighton, a large proportion of outsiders see it chiefly as a finish for the latter rather than the early.
