<strong>Issue</strong> 48. <strong>February</strong> <strong>2017</strong><br />

EDITORIAL<br />

...............................................................................<br />

Possibly inadvisably, ‘flesh’ is our theme for this issue. I was<br />

going to start by saying that <strong>Brighton</strong> is a fleshier place than<br />

most but that, of course, would be ridiculous. <strong>Brighton</strong> is, per<br />

capita, no more or less fleshy than any other city in the world<br />

- or indeed habitat - where sentient beings dwell.<br />

Flesh is the very thing that we all have in common, us beings.<br />

You cut us, we bleed (or ooze something similar). We all come<br />

into the world as bags of flesh, guts and bone, and we all go out that way too. Ashes to<br />

ashes, funk to funky, and all that.<br />

It’s what we choose to do with our bodies, and those of others, in between that sets us<br />

apart. And this is where <strong>Brighton</strong> is, perhaps, a city more at home in its skin than others,<br />

to which the people in these pages stand testament.<br />

But delicate readers beware. We’ve spent the month poking about in the city’s fleshier<br />

parts, so you’ll find many of the folks hereafter unseasonably unrobed. Au naturel,<br />

barebacked, as nature intended. And, whilst I’m far too buttoned up to join them, feel<br />

free to strip off, kick back and enjoy their exploits in the buff. Unless you’re reading<br />

this on the bus.<br />
