Write to David Leppar MP for Brighton Pavillion, here.

Dear Mr Gibbs

I write to you urgently on an important matter concerning the safety of Brighton citizens. As Editor of The Argus, Brighton's premier local newspaper, can you please explain to me why you are not running a campaign against Dr Philip Nitschke, founder of Exit International, who will, very soon in May, be giving 'suicide workshops' at the Brighthelm Centre, at the invitation of the Reverend David Coleman, a supposedly 'Christian' minister?

Your publication has reported that the event is to take place. Mercifully, you have not printed the date. I am grateful that you have not done so, otherwise you yourself would be publicising the event.

Please, for the sake of the vulnerable, the elderly, the many sufferers of mental illness in Brighton, who are in danger of coming into contact with Dr Philip Nitschke and his 'suicide kits', for which he is taking £35 a time, campaign with vigour against the workshop he is planning.

Brighton is home to many vulnerable people. The suicide rate is among the highest in the UK. The last thing the citizens of Brighton need, is somebody who has no interest in defending the lives of the vulnerable, but instead, wishes to make a profit off the back of their distress, and at the same time, kill them.

I am astounded by the Argus's lack of a clear message on this issue. Please, for the sake of the people of Brighton, make the message clear. 'Dr Philip Nitscke is not welcome in Brighton!' That, Mr Gibbs, should be your message. I find it scandalous that you have not yet made it. Please do so, before it is too late.

Yours sincerely
