A vigil was held and letters handed in at the Conservative Party headquarters in St Leonards yesterday in a last-ditch attempt to persuade MP Sally-Ann Hart to reverse her support for the government’s Nationality and Borders bill, which looks likely to come up for a final vote in the Commons next week. Nick Terdre reports.
Hastings Friends of Al-Mawasi, supported by the Hastings Palestinian Solidarity Campaign and The Big Ride for Palestine, have organised a fundraising walk and cycle ride from Lewes or Glyne Gap to The Stade on Saturday 26 March, to raise funds and awareness of how life is in Gaza. You are welcome to come along, to make a donation and/or teach online English lessons to members of the group in Al-Mawasi. HOT’s Zelly Restorick connected with Grace Lally from the Hastings’ Friends of Al-Mawasi group.

Lucy Bell Gallery is known for featuring portraits and performances of 1970s/80s pop stars celebrating those vibrant times when characters were characters, music was music. Their fans have stayed loyal to them; it was their youth too. However, this exhibition is one with a difference. These images by Carinthia West were not taken as a photographer looking in, she was part of the scene, photographing her life as well as theirs. Simply walking into the gallery made Lauris Morgan-Griffiths smile.
On International Women’s Day, Amy Walker of MediaParents reports back from the sell-out Hastings Women’s Film Festival at Kino-Teatr last Sunday night.
